I was always searching for answers on social, psychological and philosophical matters and was thinking too much about what the best way should/could be. Now i'm at a point in my life i 'm letting that go. I give my brain more of a rest and take things more the way they come.
I live as an visual artist and as a Connected Communication Trainer. As a artist i do video-installations and performances for which i travel quite a bit.
In 2006 I met my life partner in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In 2012 I moved officially to Yogyakarta .
As a Connected Communication Trainer i shear my knowledge, insights and experience of a powerful method that can help to gain (inner-)peace. It is based on the idea that all human beings have the capacity for compassion and only resort to conflict and friction when they don't recognize more effective strategies for meeting our (common) needs.
