\u00a0Is It Just Me?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Ren\u00e9e Tillotson<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upholding the Fabric of the Universe: Cosmetics, Dance & Kids<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it just me? Or am I part of a huger cosmos than I\u2019m normally aware of? Knowing Sonja Sironen raises this question in my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sonja, our former Indian dance teacher, and current long-distance staff member has a huge accomplishment to celebrate. Kindly allow me to tell you the story of this lady for whom I have so much love, admiration, and affection.<\/span><\/p>\n

While staying completely true to herself and her values, Sonja Sironen has managed to adapt to and embrace startlingly unforeseeable opportunities in her life. No matter what her current circumstances may be, she manages to stay in touch with what she calls \u201cthe deep fabric of the universe.\u201d As a very down-to-earth individual who avoids glamour, she now finds herself the glad owner of a make-up company in Germany! Generally speaking, she doesn\u2019t even WEAR make-up herself. I think you, like me, will find her life story both fascinating and instructive.<\/span><\/p>\n

I met Sonja a decade ago, shortly after opening Still & Moving Center when I was looking for a Bharatanatyam classical Indian dance teacher and discovered Sonja, the only such teacher on O\u2019ahu. I was delighted to learn that she already had several Indian dance students\u2026 and I was surprised to learn that she was German! Since Bharatanatyam is such a difficult, ancient, and highly traditional Indian dance form, how on Earth did this white European woman come to command the respect of her Indian students\u2019 parents?<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go further back in time. As a brilliant, philosophically-inclined university student, Sonja had decided to take a little detour between college and medical school to visit Sri Lanka about 25 years ago. While in Sri Lanka, the young Sonja met two women who hugely influenced her life path\u2026 so much so that she never became a doctor, after all. Each of these women instantly recognized something about Sonja\u2019s inner potential and long-term future that Sonja herself didn\u2019t see, and that she has taken all the years since that time to discover for herself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First, let me tell you about the Sri Lankan woman named Haridevi Jayasundera who precipitated a big change in Sonja\u2019s life plan. This woman was a master of Bharatanatyam dancing. She had just announced to the universe that she was now ready for a new dance student. Not just any dance student. Not just one of many dance students. No. This woman was ready to find the next one student to whom she could pass on her dance legacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So here comes Sonja, never having even seen a Bharatanatyam dance performance, yet somehow drawn to take a local dance lesson. As if two stars\u2019 paths had just aligned, Sonja and her new teacher seem to have experienced a soul recognition. With an inward knowing that studying with this teacher was something she absolutely HAD to do, Sonja dropped her plans for medical school and settled into a DECADE long period of solo training in this extremely rigorous dance form. I would call this Sonja\u2019s first big moment of trusting that the threads of the cosmic tapestry would uphold her better than the personal plans she had spun for her life.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can envision the two of them working together in the sweltering Sri Lankan heat: Sonja, wearing her third dance sari of the day, is drenched with perspiration; her teacher is tapping out the fast, complex rhythms of the dance, with the accompanying vocalizations Ta Ka Di Mi, Ta Ka Di Mi, while Sonja\u2019s feet stamp out the beats at lightning speed, her hands gesturing expressively, her eyes flashing! This ancient dance \u2013 devoted to Shiva Nataraj, Lord of the Dance \u2013 seeks to echo the rhythms of Shiva\u2019s cosmic dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2005, Sonja\u2019s dance path led her from one sub-tropical island, Sri Lanka, to another: Oahu in Hawai\u2019i, where she earned two Master\u2019s degrees at the University of Hawaii: one in Dance Ethnology and the next in Business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Years of studying Sanskrit in Sri Lanka and with Professor Ramanath Sharma at UH brought Sonja in touch with a more subtle sense of universal awareness. Sonja says that Sanskrit, whose grammar represents the deep fabric of the universe, helps you make decisions when you know there\u2019s something in the universe that underlies your life and everyone\u2019s life, something that you can rely upon. Sonja works diligently to uphold her little piece of the universal fabric, and somehow that fabric continues to support her worthy endeavors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along the path, Sonja met and married the delightful Juha from Finland and started a family. When I met Sonja, they had only their first son Kalle, undoubtedly the most philosophical child I have ever encountered. Kalle could not WAIT until his little brother Emil learned to talk so that he could help Kalle remember what it was like being a soul BEFORE being born into the world. What a question for a 4-year-old to wonder about! Of course, he\u2019s Sonja\u2019s son. At 12, Kalle\u2019s philosophical side is well represented, as you can see from him studying his book as he rides his skateboard amongst the other children at play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough to snag Sonja to be our Bharatanatyam dance teacher and studio manager at Still & Moving Center for a couple of wonderful years. Eventually, with visas and borders being as limiting as they are, Sonja and her family had to move back to Germany. One consolation was her extended family in Germany, eagerly waiting to shower their familial love on Sonja and Juha\u2019s three sons. Fortunately for us, Sonja has continued to do most of our scheduling and all of our payroll even from Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

They live in a house that holds 4 adults and 4 children, while 6 adults and 4 children live in the other home. Being in a shared pod of families has made the Covid lock-down much more bearable for all of them than a single-family home would have been. There\u2019s no end of exploration and fun that goes on in that little \u2018village.\u2019 Enjoy some of Sonja\u2019s photos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018What does any of this have to do with make-up?!?\u2019 you are surely wondering at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I haven\u2019t yet told you about the second important woman whom Sonja met on her little \u2018detour\u2019 to Sri Lanka. Their encounter seemed completely insignificant to Sonja\u00a0at the moment. But meeting Sonja, Maria Wissler got a clear view into the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sonja must have unknowingly impressed this German client named Maria, with her efficiency, intelligence, and caring approach with everyone. Sonja is just so dang unflappably CAPABLE! Immediately upon meeting Sonja, Maria declared silently to herself: \u201cIf this woman ever comes back to Germany, she\u2019s going to work for me!\u201d Maria Wissler owned the first mail-order company for organic cosmetics in Germany, named marie w.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the intervening years, while Sonja traveled, predominantly living in Hawaii after leaving Sri Lanka, Maria maintained a steady connection with Sonja. Maria would send birthday notes and invitations to lunch or dinner whenever Sonja would come home to visit her German parents. When Sonja pulled up stakes in Hawaii and moved back to Germany, Maria saw her opportunity!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a funny aside: Maria jokingly says she only hires women over 45, whom she figures won\u2019t have to go out on maternity leave, and she hired Sonja when she was 45. Hilariously, Sonja unexpectedly got pregnant with their last son, little Hugo, only 3 to 4 months after she began her work at marie w.! These little surprises that life throws at us absolutely delight Sonja \u2013 they reveal the larger workings of the universe that our rational, calculating brains cannot predict.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Sonja, marie w. was just another of the several jobs that she maintains (including her ongoing work for Still & Moving). Maria, on the other hand, had bigger plans for Sonja. She was ready to retire, and she wanted Sonja to take over the company!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sonja began realizing that she could do more than just file papers for marie w.; she\u00a0could also develop products, marketing strategies, and an array of other tasks that intrigued her. She saw wonderful opportunities for making the world better in small ways, such as making sure the company\u2019s products & containers are healthy and come from sustainable sources where workers are treated fairly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sonja was now interested in owning marie w., yet she had no capital whatsoever to buy it. No problem! Neither she nor Maria let that fact stop the process. Sonja got super creative, pitched her purchase idea to an independent bank in Germany that supports non-conformist dream companies, and impressed their socks off!\u00a0 She got a loan! As of this month, May 2021, Sonja becomes the new owner of marie w. cosmetics \u2013 just the way Maria\u00a0 Wissler foresaw that she would a quarter-century ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the fabric of the universe continues to connect all the stars and planets and beings within its embrace, science shows us how it constantly shifts and morphs. Sonja maintains an uncanny ability to adapt to every new circumstance the universe brings her way. I\u2019m certainly glad she stays connected with us, half a world away now, here at Still & Moving Center.<\/span><\/p>\n
