Workshops & Lectures
do what you LOVE what you do
Get inspired!
Every workshop or lecture is one-of-a-kind. Uniquely designed for the specific occasion and attuned to its attendants. Signature themes are: body awareness, including the interaction
between body awareness, self-awareness and social awareness; our
sensory potential and the surprisingly rich scope of our perceptible
abilities, in particular our sense of touch; resilience and the balancing act
between tension and relaxation.
All of the above topics are interrelated and influence one another in
multiple ways. This offers endless opportunities to explore and work with
them, depending on the expressed interest. In any case you will gain
practical experiences and new insights to take home.
In this workshop we’ll focus on the complex interaction of receiving and offering help. If the need of support has a chronic character, this often leads to serious tensions. Topics like ‘independence and dependency’, ‘attunement’, ‘communication’, ‘ownership and self- management‘ enter the stage. Using different case studies we’ll go deeper into the underlying dynamics of these topics. It becomes a ‘map’ of important questions to be asked and choices to be made in order to create and sustain a healthy dependency relationship.

In this lecture I share my personal story of living with a progressive, chronic disease, Usher syndrome, causing serious deterioration of sight and hearing. The enormous impact of these disabilities on my life and dreams forced me to search for new opportunities. My story is about balancing loss and finding new grounds to express myself beyond impairments. It’s the story of Change, offering the lessons of life we all meet at one point. How to find courage to leave your comfort zone, how to grow trust to find your own way in unknown territory and how to practice patience and be kind to yourself along the way. I hope sharing my personal experiences of this ongoing journey will inspire you.
