It started with ballet. From age 7 to 20, I trained as a solo dancer — a discipline that taught me that the body is the first field of transformation, that precision enables freedom, and that years of practice are required before any real expression becomes possible.
At 17, I encountered Willigis Jäger — Benedictine monk and Zen master — and began a contemplative practice that has never stopped. At 22, a Kundalini awakening sent me to India. What I found there wasn't escape from the world but a deeper entry into it.
Between 2007 and 2012, I built Forum Nachhaltig Wirtschaften — the first B2B sustainability magazine in German-speaking countries — learning how complex systems change through the patient work of narrative, network, and relationship.
Since then: 40+ ventures advised, 5,000+ relationships woven, 74 long-form conversations recorded, and one ongoing question: how do we build institutions worthy of the future we say we want?
