Staying connected to yourself, to the essentials, to nature, to your heart, to your dreams … It’s so simple, and so difficult at the same time. Yet this experience of being at one with one’s body, emotions, thoughts, and the world around us is vital.

By registering, you not only receive the assurance that I will not use your personal data but also the dates of my next events as well as the new projects I am working on.
