Leadership in the Body - An invitation to become more embodied leaders

Tomorrow, January 14th, I will have an online conversation with Paola and Pierre, where we will discuss the impact of developing as an embodied leader and how that might change the world. If it feels a bit too abstract, we will also share some initial steps to help you start this journey.

One of those steps can for sure be joining us on the 27th-29th January in Vienna for a 3-day immersion into Leadership in the Body! https://my.weezevent.com/leadership-in-the-body-ab

Join us in Vienna to learn how to consciously involve your body in your every day leadership challenges.

Thus you will gain more
- intelligence
- presence
- impact
- confidence
- connection with people

In the turmoil of our days, when do you have time to listen?

Many of us are living in the in-between. Old identities no longer fit, careers shift, friendships change. What once felt solid begins to crumble.

When thinking alone doesn’t orient us anymore, the body is the place of truth.

These events exist to meet the change, the transmutation. Without fixing, performing or rushing answers.

Simply to move with what’s alive.
To listen beyond words.
To let the parts we usually hide be seen. And held.

You might feel called if you’re No longer who you were Not yet who you’re becoming Longing for real, unforced connection Sensing your body knows something your mind hasn’t caught up with yet.

We don’t gather to find answers, but to build capacity.
To stay present with uncertainty.
To meet ourselves and others more honestly.
To remember we’re not alone.

Sometimes, belonging isn’t found by searching, but by moving, sensing and listening together.

"I packed my suitcase and in it I put…"

Do you know the game where we repeat what we pack in our suitcase? If not, it's a memory game where one by one people repeat all the items mentioned by others and add one more item.

Here are some of my pearls I packed in my suitcase last year and hope to keep in 2026!

What have you packed?

Today is January 2.
Not an extraordinary day. Not a celebrated one.

The resolutions have already lost some of their shine. The symbolic clean slate of January 1 has passed, and ordinary life begins to return. After the excitement, there is often a subtle disappointment here, as if the “new beginning” doesn’t quite arrive in the way we imagine.

The celebration is over. The symbolic reset has passed. And what remains is something far less dramatic — and far more honest: the return to ordinary life, with the body we have today, the energy we actually feel, and the questions that didn’t disappear overnight.

When I visit my mother in Figueira da Foz, she usually jokes that this location (a coffee house by the beach) is my office. That's where I go to work or write, or to be by the sea when the weather is not inviting.

On the day of the photo, it had been raining and suddenly the sun was shining. Short cycles with sudden change.

I like to think of the cycles of life. The moments of closing, the anticipation of change. And yet, the end of the year gives me a strange pressure:
- To define.
- To decide.
- To plan what’s next.

Maybe because it feels somehow forced by a date and not entirely natural, something in me keeps asking for something else.

Instead of jumping into goals and resolutions, I’ve been practicing a different question: What if I sensed into the new year before trying to shape it?

In one of my first encounters with Social Presencing Theater (SPT) in 2018, I took part in what I later learned was called a Seed Dance.
In this process, we begin not from analysis or planning but from a felt gesture of the future. The invitation is to allow a posture to emerge that carries the quality of a future wanting to come into being.

What struck me deeply was that this gesture did not come from a vision board, or a careful reflection on goals. It emerged directly through the body. A movement appeared, found shape, and only later revealed its meaning. That gesture carried information about direction, values, and possibilities that thinking alone had not accessed.

Since then, this has become my preferred method for finding guidance, and you can try it as well! I'll host a session on the 6th January 17:00-20:00 in Vienna to invite a small group into a similar journey. Join SEEDS! https://lnkd.in/d4EhZvHa

I wrote about this embodied way of meeting the new year — not as a method, but as an invitation.

If you’re feeling resistant to resolutions, tired of forcing clarity, or simply curious about listening more deeply… maybe this resonates with you too

This photo is from Portugal, where I come for Christmas with my family.

Before I fully dive into a holiday break, I’d like to share a few words of gratitude.

Maybe we did something together this year.
Maybe we never met in our lives.
And maybe we crossed paths in quiet, almost invisible ways.

All options in between are welcome.

I deeply appreciate that you decided to accompany my work, in whatever way that has been true for you.

2025 was not an easy year.
Many things found an end.
Several layers were stripped away—sometimes by choice, sometimes not.

According to the Chinese calendar, we’re still in the year of the Wooden Snake, associated with intuition, shedding, and renewal. A year that asked for honesty beneath the surface. A year that invited us to listen more carefully to what moves through the body before it becomes words or plans.

For me, this year was less about building and more about sensing. Less about answers and more about learning to stay with questions.

Much of what mattered did not arrive fully formed—it arrived as seeds.

Seeds of encounters.
Seeds of conversations.
Seeds of events where something subtle but alive was planted: a shift in perception, a moment of presence, a remembering of what it feels like to be in the body together.

Some of these seeds were named. Others remained unnamed.All of them are still working underground.

As the year closes, I’m not rushing to define what comes next. I’m letting these seeds rest, trusting that their timing is wiser than my urgency. What wants to grow will reveal itself—slowly, organically, in its own season.

If this year brought endings for you, I hope they also created space.

If it brought exhaustion, I hope rest finds you.
If it brought quiet, I hope you can hear what the quiet is teaching.

Thank you for being part of this field of attention, inquiry, and practice.

I wish you a gentle closing of the year—and a new cycle that unfolds from the inside out.

As the year comes to an end, I’m curious about how people experience the close of a cycle.

Have you reflected on the colours of 2025?
What worked. What didn’t. What should have been different.
What patterns repeated themselves.
Which moments felt alive, and which drained your energy.
What emerged without effort, and what required constant pushing.

And what about planning for 2026?
Are you approaching the new year with curiosity or trying to force a clear plan?

What wants to continue growing?
What is asking to be simplified, softened, or released?
What pace would actually support sustainability?

Curiosity doesn’t rush answers.
It creates space for honesty.
And often, that’s where the most meaningful direction begins.

How are you approaching reflection and projection this year: evaluation, intention… or curiosity?

If you'd like to try an embodied approach to sensing into the new year, join me on the 6th January in Vienna at "SEEDS"!

Dear demons,

While we know you are probably busy preparing to show up in some family reunions or New Year's celebrations, we invite you to think ahead and imagine already your return after the hibernation!

The German language calls it the winter sleep, and we're sure you'll wake up hungry for loving encounters!

So put it in your calendar: 8th of March! The date of the next "demons in love".

We promise Spring will come with many surprises!

For now... Enjoy your holidays, and no matter you're being naughty or nice, remember to gift love to the "demons" (yours and the ones from others...) 🎁❤️

With love,
Ana and Christoph
