It's my mothers birthday today. I wouldn't be who I am without her. So I felt an impulse, to explore how I relate to her and my mother lineage... Enjoy reading!

My beloved Peppler recently released the first single of his new album, called “Blessed”.

Sometimes it’s hard to find that sense of being blessed, the gratitude for all the beauty we receive. And yet, I believe it’s what keeps us healthy, to shift our attention again and again to the beauty, abundance and graciousness of this life. To everything we receive as a gift, an expression of unconditional love each moment. The air we breath, the earth underneath our feet, sun and rain, sounds and images... and most of all: the gift of connection and shared time with people close to our hearts!

So grateful to be on this journey together, and all that comes with it, even the challenges and struggles. An invitation to trust, open up and realize that underneath it all is love.

Enjoy listening and sharing!
Many more beautiful, wild and touching songs by Peppler (and his band) will be released soon!

PS: Since a short while we’re also weaving our voices together as “Rosaro & Peppler” - you can find us on Instagram

Breema® is an invitation to come to yourself and taste your aliveness in each moment.

The upcoming Breema workshop in Berlin will be a unique opportunity to get to know "The Art of Being Present" with a group of experienced Breema Instructors from the US and Germany, who have been practicing and developing Breema over the last decades.

I'm so much looking forward to welcome Jon, Alexandra and Pari in Berlin, as I've benefitted so much from studying with all of them in the last years.

We're more than happy if you like to join us! Come as you are, no prior experience in bodywork is needed, just your wish to taste life in the moment.

Jeder Moment is eine neue Einladung, zu vertrauen und loszulassen.
Ich bin dankbar und erfüllt, nachdem ich zum ersten Mal einen Breema® Wochenendworkshop "alleine" unterrichtet habe - mit so viel Unterstützung von neuen und alten Freunden und einer ganz wunderbaren Gruppe.

Es war einmal mehr eine Erfahrung der Einfachheit und Tiefe von Breema's Philosophie, die so viel Unterstützung anbietet, nicht nur in der Körperarbeit sondern in allen möglichen Lebenssituationen. Selbst-Akzeptanz, Empfänglichkeit und Körperpräsenz sind nur einige der Aspekte, die wir gemeinsam erkunden und "hands-on" erfahren konnten.

Ich bin mehr als glücklich über die vielen kommenden Möglichkeiten, Breema zu teilen, und lade DICH ganz herzlich dazu ein:

🍁 Breema Workshop in Berlin, mit sehr erfahrenen Lehrer*innen u.a. vom Breema Center Oakland: Di, 25. Oktober 14-17 und 18.30 - 21.30 Uhr, Moabit

🍁 Monatliche Breema Klasse in Berlin: Mi, 19. Oktober, 18-20 Uhr, Neukölln

Und natürlich gibt es auch die Möglichkeit, bei mir Breema® Körperarbeit Einzelsessions zu bekommen.

Every moment is a new chance to trust and let go.
I'm deeply fulfilled by the first Breema® Weekend Workshop I instructed "on my own" - with so much essential support from new and old friends and a wonderful group.

I experienced again the simplicity and depths of Breema's philosophy, and how much support it offers not only in the bodywork, but in any life situation. Self-acceptance, receptivity, and body-mind connection are just some of the aspects we had a chance to explore and experience "hands-on".

I'm more than happy about the many upcoming possibilities to share Breema, and YOU are warmly invited:

🍁 Breema Workshop in Berlin, with experienced instructors from the Breema Center Oakland: Tue, October 25th, 2-5pm and 6.30 -9.30pm, Moabit

🍁 Monthly Breema Class in Berlin: Wed, October 19th, 6-8pm, Neukölln

You're also welcome to experience a private Breema Bodywork session with me.

Jeff Foster puts it so beautifully: „Your power is in your loving.“

In the kind of Love that is rooted in presence. For me, when I practice Breema Bodywork, I practice this loving presence with myself and others. And it has enriched and changed my life so much.

There’s various opportunities coming up to practice Breema with me:

Weekend seminar in Rudolstadt, 16-18 September
Monthly Breema Class in Berlin, 21st September, 6-8pm

Self-Breema online classes, e.g. „The school of the Earth“ with my friend Pari Schneider on 18th September.

Find all events on breema.com or pm me 🙂

Cheers to the power of love!

Your power is in your loving.
Not in your brute strength.

Nor in your bank balance
or your ever-changing reputation.
Nor in your incredible tales
of conquest and gain.
Nor even in your intellect, your brilliant mind.

But in your willingness to let your heart break today.
In your courage to let another in, let them matter.
To feel what they feel.
To feel joy, or sorrow, or the most delicious doubting.

To stand with them, but not try to fix them.

To be the room for all this… emergence.

That is your power -
your ability to provide sanctuary,
to let life nestle in your giant heart.

To hold the powerless and the helpless.
To breathe into your belly, your chest,
your head, your tense shoulders.

To stand victorious there -
holding all of yourself
in a light yet powerful embrace.

Saying to yourself:

Sweetheart, I am here.
I am here at last.

- Jeff Foster

What paradigm is your leadership built on?
Some recent experiences gave me more insight around my own subconscious patterns, which shape the way I lead if I don't actively deal with them.

I have a vision for the world, for the ways we can be with each other and this earth. And sometimes I forget to include myself in that vision.

An example: I have the vision that in relations of all kinds, we welcome each other with all our parts - the strong and confident ones, the awkward and messy ones, and with the full spectrum of our emotions. Still, when I show up as a leader, there's a subconsious imperative in me to "pull myself together", to be in a calm, grounded, clear-minded state. Even when something is actually really stressing me out.

I want everyone to feel safe enough to show up raw and vulnerable - and then I forget to include myself in it. I see that tendency within me to not let others witness me in my mess, my stress, my pain when I show up as a leader.

Luckily I also found practices which encourage me to lead in a different way: By actually stepping in, being with, participating and showing up as a whole human. When I lead women's circles I am at the same time a participant, I share vulnerably about myself and my life, and in my experience thereby give permission to the other women to do so as well. Embodying the vulnerability and authenticity that I'd like to encourage in the space.

Even more, my practice of Breema and its philosophy supports me to cultivate an attitude of self-acceptance, of seeing how I am in this moment with all my emotions, thoughts, patterns, and knowing that all of it is included. To show myself fully with all my imperfect human-ness is part of embodying this philosophy of self-acceptance. When I lead, when I instruct, there's no need to pretend I am somewhat "further" or "more advanced" than the others. No, we're all on the same journey: Being human.

For me, compassionate leadership means to remind each other (and ourselves): You are included, with all of you. It is safe to let yourself be seen, with all of you.

My vision is that we lead each other home into wholeness. And I am included.
