CURRENT MISSION

be happy - and contribute to the happiness of others

ABOUT ME

To give you some impressions of what sort of a person you can expect:I love a sustainable lifestyle and organic food! You'll find me eating organically grown stuff most of the time and recycling everything ;-) I live vegetarian. Sometimes, I live vegan. I like changes. There is no consistency other than in change itself.I love dancing. I've looked into many different kinds of dance - Aztec (Mexican indigenous) dances as well as Modern Dance, Contemporary, Ballet, all sorts really. If I don't get to dance for too long a time, I become all fidgety. I teach Aztec dances here in Vienna. I'm a big fan of openness and honesty (everything else tends to make things really complicated).I'd absolutely love to be able to find an explanation for everything...And finally: There are some rather magical aspects to my view of the world - a good place to start a long discussion if you feel like having one ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Even the longest journey begins with the first step.

The only "must"s that exist are the ones in our heads.

Respect your own needs.

And this prayer:
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are a great many things that amaze me... I've been - like everyone - in some absolutely awe-inspiring and also some pretty queer situations and I'm usually fascinated by how things happen, what happens and to whom and how it all turns out! Life is always good for a surprise.

Teach, Learn, Share

Astrology - I read horoscopes.
An offer: I'll read your horoscope for you but you have to ask me for it if you're interested! I'll need your place, date and time of birth.

Family constellations - I can tell you a lot about that work.

I'm in a training to be a TaKeTiNa-rhythm teacher. If you'd like to participate in one of my practice groups, you're very welcome to do so!!
