Taking good care of myself is the foundation for everything else. In everyday life it's quickly the first thing to slip, for me as much as for many others.
How it began
My path runs through Swiss social work. It has taught me a lot about people, and about myself. I noticed that when stress, too much work or a lack of boundaries take over, we barely give ourselves time for pauses and rest. Then our balance starts to slip. Patience wears thin, small things throw us off more easily, and sometimes the body speaks up too.
During a time out abroad, this became Sibicura, named after the Latin sibi cura: to care for oneself.
How Sibicura is made
Cheap incense is everywhere. Behind much of it lie child labour and poor working conditions. That's why Trelleborg makes the Anima holder in Switzerland, and our sticks come from a partner company in India that I know and that pays fairly.
Today
Time out, meditation and breathing exercises are part of my everyday life. With Sibicura, I pass that on: light it, set it down, breathe for a few minutes.
