About Me

CURRENT MISSION

collecting inspiration mostly concerning art, circus, music, permaculture & herbal medicines on my way to fireland. spiritual development. spreading as much joy and love as i can.

ABOUT ME

i`m a poet. i`m a wild heart. i`m a libertine.
i`m here today and gone tomorrow, i`m a wanderer and adventurer and most of all, i`m a hopeless dreamer.

i dream.

also, i believe. i believe in love and life and this world and other worlds, i believe in mama gaia and taita inti, i believe in fairies, gnomes, mermaids and ghosts, i believe in every single story i`ve ever been told, i believe in people and their talents, i believe that we can change for the better, i believe in my own path, and i believe that we all are learning what we`re meant to learn.

believing is fun. try it.

PHILOSOPHY

why do you live your life? strange question.

i think we`re all on the search of our passion & purpose, of a way to express ourselves and to serve the world. we all have our story, our dreams, our goals, our secrets, our wounds... who am i to judge anyone if i don`t even know their story? i believe in brotherhood. we`re all brothers and sisters, we`re made of the same fabric, and we can heal the relations between all beings from our own hearts. love is the strongest force of the universe.

so yeah. while we roam around, trying to find inspiration and answers, we should not forget to breathe deeply, read tons of books and hug tons of trees. seriously. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

WOW. there is a lot to tell. ask me, if you want. let`s trade amazing stories and adventures.

Teach, Learn, Share

exchanging knowledge is one of the most important things on earth, isn`t it?

i personally want to learn everything. especially playing guitar, playing the harmonica, different languages, your favorite recipe, doing these crazy firespinning things, wire wrapping, whatever you can teach me about permaculture and bioconstruction and a whole lot of other things.

i`m happy to teach you german, english and spanish, and show you how to make dreamcatchers, recycled paper and bind books. i also started to swing around poi flags, which is great fun and i will show you as much as i know!
