EXPLORING THE WONDERLAND CALLED PRESENCE 🦪 〰️
What if we could take break from the speed and quantity?
Venturing into slowness and, perhaps, into depth
Perspectives of Presence
Deeply moved and inspired by meditative states and contemplative practices, I decided to deepen my theoretical knowledge and practical experiences. And so, I trained as a secular Mindfulness facilitator in Berlin (the Dream Haus, 2019) and followed a complementary yearlong training with Mark Coleman & Martin Aylward in 2021 (Mindfulness Training Institute).
All the discoveries I have been living since then offer favourable grounds to share these practices with you. As best I can, with an accessible, playful and inclusive approach that encourages putting aside perfectionism, rigid norms, and performance of any kind.
To expand into more expressive and creative realms, I trained as a movement facilitator with Florencia Lamarca, and learned in-depth her Fluentbody approach which draws on intuitive dance practices from Gaga dance and somatic work like the Grinberg method. Fluentbody is about trusting the deep wisdom of our bodies and our ability to relate to life using movement.
After that, I trained in 2022 as Yin Yoga teacher with Liina Tael and Valerie Hartwich in Berlin. Yin yoga is a gentle yoga inviting us to ground in presence while contemplating and feeling the evolving bodily sensations as we hold a posture in stillness for several minutes. It can be a deeply grounding experience and the occasion to reconnect kindly with our bodies’ stories, needs and immense possibilities.
In my sessions, I let all these beautiful inspirations and influences translate into a sequence of varied exercises and explorations.
Softening into presence
ASPIRATION
PRESENCE
Are you here, in this very moment?
THROUGH THE FELT SENSES
Wherever you are when reading this, I invite you to FEEL the temperature of the air on your skin for a few instants. Is any sensation noticeable or maybe nothing at all?
NUANCED RATHER THAN BINARY
There’s no right or wrong answer, but your lived experience just as it is.
NOTICING THE UNNOTICED
In mindfulness we cultivate awareness of the states and fluctuations of our inner and outer weather patterns; catalysing this exploration with gentle curiosity, interest and kindness. Whether we encounter a clear blue sky, a thunderstorm or a soft wind.
PERHAPS OPENING NEW PERSPECTIVES...
Let’s peel off the crusted and maybe touch deeper layers of ourselves.
CULTIVATING LOVE AND INTENTIONALITY
In how we interact with ourselves and the world around us.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
