My Earthly Journey

I was born in Ulm, Germany, on 26 May 1966. As the oldest of three siblings, my parents expected me to take over and manage the family business. I did attempt to do this, but my attempt ended in 1994. I was drawn as if by a magical force to music; the movement, the dancing. I devoted myself to Latin American dance at that time. I also became a successful organiser of events featuring Latin American music. Four years later, this work evolved into a company specialising in inter-cultural exchange and the integration of the most varied nationalities. In Bali I got to know Klaus Pfaff. Through him I was inspired to dedicate myself further to following the spiritual path. After his death I began to train as a yoga teacher in 2004.

In 2005, upon completion of my training, I returned to Bali and instructed yoga groups at the Gaia-Oasis for three years. Solitary retreats and numerous other courses that I took during this time were the start of the journey on my spiritual path.

 

My Spiritual Path

My interest in meditation started in childhood. Yoga followed on soon after. In this “empty state” I felt curiously uplifted with a feeling of physical unity between myself and the universe. I have never strayed from this path since, even during the years I worked in the family business, or later, when running my own company. Annual retreats at the Benedictine Abbey in the Eifel region of Germany increased my feeling of unity with the universe.

In 1998 I joined the Nichiren Buddhists who originate from Japan and studied the Lotus Sutra. The compatibility of Zen Buddhism and Christian beliefs was one of the most wonderful realisations of that time.

In addition, there was my yoga training and Avatar techniques, the channelling that I learnt from Michael and Elyah, Tantra and voice empowerment. Today I follow my spiritual path exclusively.

I believe that spiritual growth through openness, honesty, self-awareness and vitality leads to a good existence.

 

My Gay Path

I am incredibly grateful for the clarity I have possessed since childhood with regards to being gay. Even as a child I was aware that I was homosexual. During puberty I therefore found it easy to share this with my family. My parents did not want to believe that their son was gay and my whole family tried to enlighten me on the consequences of being gay. This was a time that was very much characterised by arguments and inner clarity. Through this clarity, I found it easier to deal with the convictions of my parents and family.

For me, clarity has remained to this day the path to joy and happiness.

Out of this conviction, I create seminars which allow us to attain clarity by focusing on our connection to joy and simplicity – “The body is the door to the soul”.
