Hi Sindre,
I'm sorry for you. I know how that is, I had the same with my bf. He couldn't understand how I could do something as stupid and crazy as breake off my studies, refuse to take a job, be unemployed and eat up my savings in order to spend my time learning some esoteric stuff, "find my purpose" and be self-employed, without even knowing as what I wanted to be self-employed. He wanted me to study, get a job and be reasonable. He got angry at this "stupid forum" too and just couldn't accept me changing so much. We're separated now, but that's probably not what you wish to hear
I don't know how to deal with that problem, sorry. Maybe you could make it clear to her, in a kind way, that your choices are your own responsibility, not hers?

You have no work to do with her at all, that's not your job. It's her decision to live more consciously or not, it has to come from her, don't try to get her to do something because you want her to change. Accept her as she is, or leave.
Sorry sounds harsh... I wish you all the best for you and your girlfriend and I hope you'll resolve the conflict
edit: ah, too late! well, I just wish you good luck then
