02/11/2025

Just a quick reminder that registrations are open for the Authentic Movement session on Tuesday, 19:00-21:00 in G39 (1160 Vienna)!

In this time of connection with ancestors, what shows up from your unconscious and from the collective unconscious? Let it find expression through movement!

What does it mean to lead yourself?

In my journey with this question, I keep returning to the idea of archetypes — the timeless inner patterns that shape how we show up in the world: the Creator, the Warrior, the Lover, the Sage… and, most recently for me, the Destroyer.

I pulled that card during a cacao ceremony at a festival — a quiet circle filled with breath, spice, and stillness.
It landed in my hand like a spark, and it hasn’t left me since.

The Destroyer is not about chaos or collapse.
It’s about clarity.
It’s the archetype that reminds us that true leadership sometimes means dismantling what no longer serves — the habits, identities, or stories that once kept us safe but now keep us small.

That moment led me to a deeper understanding of what I call inner leadership:
the ability to listen to the archetypal forces within us — to let go when it’s time, to trust the cycles of change, to lead from authenticity rather than control.

✨ I wrote about this experience — and what it taught me about transformation, endings, and renewal — in my latest Substack piece:
“When the Inner Leader Speaks Through Archetypes: My Contact with the Destroyer.”

My recent contact with "the Destroyer"

I experience my weekly authentic movement practice as core for my balance. The practice allows me to integrate the impressions of the week and at the same time connect with other people and other dimensions of experience.

The connection with my inner landscape, following my impulses, or noticing them and choosing otherwise, experiencing the impact of being seen, and learning to bring embodied experiences to words without losing the contact with the experience are only some of the benefits it brought to my life

As a witness, I practice being present with others and with myself simultaneously. I practice offering my words without being intrusive. I practice seeing with a nonjudgmental quality and owning my projections

Would you like to try it?

Today is your opportunity++

Is dependence one of your demons in relationships?

Today in Albertina Museum I came across several paintings of demons, especially related to Saint Anthony. But this quiet painting with a soft monster struck me the most.

How tender some of our inner demons can be. Keeping us tied with their soft eyes. Making us doubt it's possible to live without them.

Can we learn from our demons what they carry underneath the surface?

On Saturday 1st November, we are going to go into that conversation with our demons. Will you join?

Registrations until Saturday 25th October!!

Shadow in Motion — our third session of UNFOLD.
This week, we step into the territory of what we usually turn away from — the parts of ourselves that move beneath the surface.

Through the body, we meet the shadow not as an enemy but as energy longing for expression, truth, and integration.
Movement becomes a mirror. The hidden becomes seen. The dense becomes alive.

✨ What happens when we allow even our darkness to dance?

Join us this Tuesday as we move with, through, and beyond the shadow.
🖤

Why I Keep Doing This Work

Every time I start a new program, many doubts arise. Is it really relevant in the world? What a privilege it is that I can speak about embodiment and inner development.

For all those who are suffering, who are being treated as less than human, I keep showing up. This is my small contribution — to help shift the field from which we act and relate.

That we remember our human flame, and see it burning in the aliveness of everyone and everything. - READ MORE https://mailchi.mp/f78cd909fa1b/092024-18102647

I was recently on a retreat led by my dear friend , where, from the first day, he reminded us again and again of our birthright to exist and belong. His words landed in a tender place inside me, and I noticed how difficult it was to let them in. Each time I heard him speak, my chest would tighten, my breath would shorten, as if my body wasn’t quite ready to accept such a simple, radical truth.

Now, two weeks later, I find myself sitting with these words more deeply. They continue to echo inside me, loosening something. What does it truly mean to belong—not because we’ve earned our place, not because we’ve adapted or proven ourselves, but simply because we are here? And how do we meet the resistance in our bodies, the doubt in our minds, and still allow ourselves to rest in this truth?

On October 7th, the first session of UNFOLD will be dedicated to the theme of belonging, through the lens of the Starborn archetype. If this resonates with you, I invite you to join us in exploring this threshold together. More info and registrations in bio!

When planning my sessions, I often use the inspiration of Archetypes. I let the field express itself through the cards and include its wisdom.

UNFOLD will start next week, on the 7th of October, and this card appeared as the ruler of the overall arc.

The ruler, the commander, the emperor... The King archetype presides over the entire spectrum of human experience. It can be the embodiment of benevolence and strength, assessing the kingdom and ruling accordingly.

When out of balance, it may act from fear, oppressing the weak in search of control.

✨ How does THE KING rule in UNFOLD? ✨

Inspiring order, integration, benevolent authority and, most of all, sovereignty!

UNFOLD is a path toward embodying inner leadership. Not dominance, but generative process

👑 How do you relate with The King?

In the next days I'll share with you the archetypes for each session!

📅 Join us every Tuesday at 19:00-21:00

Weaving Connections is an event that brings Authentic Movement and Music together as tools to create connection.

When we gather with intention, we are participating in one of the oldest and most essential human practices coming together to create belonging. Across cultures and times communities have formed not simply out of necessity but from a deep understanding that life is relational – that we exist through and with one another.

Modern psychology and indigenous wisdom alike teach us that true community is not built in proximity alone but on the invisible threads of trust, shared presence, and mutual recognition. When we meet heart to heart, without masks or expectations, something ancient awakens with us: the memory that we are not isolated individuals, but strands in the vast, living web.

In every shared breath, every moment of silent witnessing, every courageous expression of truth, a new thread is woven. Each connection strengthens the fabric of our collective being – a living tapestry more beautiful and resilient than any single thread could ever be alone.

We’ve community is a artform. It requires listening deeply, being willing to be changed by contact, and holding space for both the strength and fragility of ourselves and others. It is less about doing and more about being: being present, being open, being in relation.

At Weaving Connections, we enter into this sacred art together. Through sound, movement, and deep presence, we remember how to weave: not only with our hands or our voices, but with our hearts and our embodied being. In doing so we restore the web - and ourselves within it.
