My deeper calling

There are moments when we experience that life is sacred and healing. Moments when we breathe deeply and feel right in our bodies, in our lives, on this earthbody. In this state, we look at ourselves and our surrounding differently. We stand in the world with more calmness, warmth, and trust.

This deep coherence has something very intimate and yet powerful. These moments nourish us and gift us with guidance.

It is dear to my heart to create individual and collective safe spaces in which we can reorient and recharge, and from there co-create and  shape our own expression of embodied peace culture.
