after studying romance philology and an apprenticeship for prenatal classes, my personal journey began 1999 with my first 5 day seminar with Rosalyn L. Bruyere, a renowned healer based in Los Angeles. topicof that seminar was the heart chakra. a grand opening.
I continued to learn with Rosalyn and her partner Ken Weintrub. chakras, old egyptian mystery schools and their symbols, international shamanistic medical science. as Rosalyn is ackowledge Medicine Woman of 6 native american tribes, some of that wisdom was also shared. we practised a special qi gong with Ken, trained our intuition, learned bioenergetic functional diagnostics in attunement with medical science and much more.
besides I continuedstudyin energy and healing. I explored shiatsu, bowen therapy, became an animal naturopath, learned martial arts (taek won do, haidung gumdo) and more.
The next milestone was the encounter with Dusty Miller XIII and the Dryads. Dusty Miller XIII. was the shaman of his clan, living in kent, england. the Millers trace back before the time when the celts arrived in england. today his son is the shaman of the tribe. I had found one of the oldest european lineages of wisdom and spirituality and had no idea that this was the beginning of my education as a shaman. and not the usual way, my teachers were: the Trees. But thats another story.
I was searching – for roots. I always am. a perspective I brought to this life from another life time where I lived in Africa. so now again, I was looking deep and not knowing what exactly I was looking for. until I met the Medicine Wheels – taught in the tradition of the Flower Soldiers, one of the most ancient lineages. sowly it dawned to me what what this journey was about.
I was looking for our wisdom teaching here in Europe – before any religious wars, like the inquisition, which killed millions of wise women and men also. As have been the witiches, the druids, who were basically the wisdom keepers for education, health, ceremonies and so on. What and where were the wisdom temple schools before the anient greek? and before the romans began to dominate information, wisdom, art, healing which seamlessly transitioned into the control of the roman catholic church?
in 2015 I met another great teacher: MIrsakarim Norbekov from Usbekistan. he taught intuition in a 6 day masterclass in munich which gave my life another twist. I had to face my deepest fears, learn to smile to my self and my future. be concentrated and disciplined and at the same time relaxed and work with love and kindness. amazing. I realized: I won´t let fear keep me from following my path and to trust my heart. that is how I met my horse. yes, you´re right that´s another story to tell.
what else? I am a polymath, a projector in human design. I am always learning something, exploring new fields. I play video games, yes, that´s right. I learned a lot through gaming and I consider it remcommendable, especially for women, as women rarely play. play is important for learning and balance. a year ago I started learning to dance salsa, which brings great joy into my life. dancing can be much more than a pastme and has always been part of healing, associations, ceremonies, creativity and play.
