Music and nature have always been my inspiration and passion. Growing up near Freiburg, I spent most of my childhood in the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two decades later, my studies in architecture brought me to Rio de Janeiro. During a retreat in the rainforest, the magic of music led me to the guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years later, while living in Switzerland and working internationally as an SAP consultant, I began dreaming of a place where music could flow freely\u2014a space to create and share, embraced only by the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That dream became a reality in 2021 when I discovered Steinweiden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renovating the space has been a grand adventure, and the event room was our first project. The vision was to create a crystal of healing energy\u2014a sound temple, the heart of Steinweiden, to share this space with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether through sound healing<\/strong><\/a>, singing, yoga, meditation, dancing, or other transformative practices\u2014feel warmly invited to celebrate the beauty of life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born in the Netherlands and worked as an international corporate lawyer for around 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to questions that mattered to me personally: What is truly important to me? What shapes the way I live and make decisions? And who am I beyond the ideas I have about myself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring these questions profoundly changed the direction of my own life. I completed extensive training in Coaching<\/strong><\/a> and Yoga<\/strong><\/a>, and began accompanying others through their own processes of growth and change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the boldest decisions I eventually made was to buy Steinweiden together with Andy and develop it into a retreat centre. We wanted to create a place where people could step away from their everyday lives for a few days, slow down and reconnect with what truly matters to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, many different sides of me come together at Steinweiden. I facilitate our own retreats, take care of many of the organisational aspects of running the centre \u2013 and I am just as happy in the kitchen. I love creating an environment in which our guests feel genuinely welcome and cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, all of this belongs together: inner work, yoga, good food, nature, and a place where we can gain a clearer sense of what truly matters. This is the kind of space I create at Steinweiden together with Andy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
