CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the present moment in connection with good people around

ABOUT ME

Get to know yourself... I still have some time ahead to cope with that question. I like enjoying the present moment surrounded by loving and challenging people, no matter if we know each other for a long time or just met. I live for music, for all forms of artistic expression, especially cinema and dance at the moment, and couln't survive without regular contact with nature and water. I like to look for poetic traces in life. I nourrish myself with anthropology, literature and meditation. And with vegetarian food. I love improvised collaborative cooking with a nice bottle of wine. And I could cook indian food for you!

PHILOSOPHY

Focus on the present moment - and not blame myself when I don't succeed.
