My path has been shaped by the presence and wisdom of extraordinary teachers and guides.

Aikido master Dirk Kropp (8th Dan, Köln/Germany) teaches a unique form rooted in presence, ethics, and inner stillness. His decades of practice and dedication to the meditative depth of this peacful martial art have created a powerful space of learning for me, where movement becomes a way to embody peace.

The School of Lost Borders carries the ancient wisdom of nature-based rites of passage into modern times. Assisting in the Vision Fast program The Practice of Living and Dying, guided by Meredith Little and Scott Eberle, offered me a courageous invitation to meet the cycles of life and death with honesty, ritual, and grace.

Puma Fredy Quispe Singona, an Andean medicine man and Master of Masters of Living Energies, shares the ancestral teachings of the Mesa with deep reverence and joy. His guidance—rooted in communion with the Apus, the elements, and the living wisdom of the Andes—helped me remember to live life as a playful and joyful ceremony. 

Shipibo Grandmother Maestra Manuela Mahua holds the healing traditions of her powerful lineage with great strength, surprises and joy. Her Noya Rao Plant Dietas, carried by song, silence, and spirit, opened a field of deep communion with Mother Earth for me, which brought renewal, self-realization, and transformation.

Above all, Mother Nature and the Cosmic Parents remain the beloved teachers, offering rhythm, clarity, and a remembering of who I really am.
