Blanka Collis is a biochemist who spent part of her childhood in Germany and part in the UK, where she later studied and met her husband and had two wonderful children. From a biochemist in the laboratory, she became a biochemist in the project office, where she supported colleagues in the preparation of research grants, which led to her collaboration with SEMwell on grants. Supporting women and disadvantaged minorities in science is also a matter close to her heart.
She came across mindfulness when, as a parent, she decided that to support her children in working with their emotions, it would be good to be able to work with her own. She completed the MBSR course sometime in 2016 and since then has been taking self-compassion courses, relational mindfulness training (RMT) and doing mindfulness meditations more or less every day, although sometimes the meditations would take a little more time... In her free time, she spends time with her family, likes to be outside in nature and recreationally runs orienteering or rides a bike. At home, she reads, embroiders and enjoys playing board games.
"I'm a cured perfectionist. I'm still working on myself and trying to teach myself that it's okay for things to go wrong sometimes and that the world isn't going to fall apart. We can then observe what it does to us. And let's have that same tolerance for others who may see things a little differently."
