About me
Impressions
Divine disunion guarantees the persistence of desire.
Elisabeth Howland
A lot has happened since I left my parents house… Many years of living as a nomad, traveling innerly and outerly, going on (spiritual) journeys, visiting projects and working in communities, researching on love in relationships and expressing myself through projects and work. I didn’t take over the curtain shop from my farther, like he did from his farther. Nor did my two brothers. Instead I followed this inner impulse of exploring, moving and discovering worlds that go beyond the familiarities and structures I grew up with…
I follow and surrender. I grasp it and I loose it. I hold on and like sand, it is rinsing through my fingers. I allow myself to happen, letting it pour through me, mysteries of unfolding unknowings, in gratitude that there is breath which is taking me, again and again. Letting it come and letting it go.
Lifethreads and what I do
Work is love made visible.
Kahlil Gibran
In recent years I have deepened my knowledge in the field of somatic body work with a special focus on topics around sexuality and intimacy. It excites me to see how people get access to their creative potential and life energy by courageously revealing and what is really moving inside them. Accompanying people who are widening their capacities of consciously relating to themselves and the outside world in a way that expresses their true nature of being is something I love doing.
My work moves at the transitions from artistic creation, socio-political activism, communitywork, ritualpractices and personal-transformative coaching processes. I give artistic seminars throughout Germany, lead group processes and workshops and support people in one-and-one sessions. Project specifically I work as a performance artist and dancer.
