Whether you struggle with addiction, compulsive habits, codependency, emotional dependency, work addiction, perfectionism, people-pleasing, substance use, or recognize patterns that no longer serve you that you cannot stop, healing begins with curiosity rather than judgment.

The KIX Project is rooted in a special and specific format that combines cognitive (brain), somatic (body), emotional (heart) and spirited (mystery / universe / goddexx) elements to help you understand the deeper roots of addictive and compulsive patterns.
_5Rhythms® Dance
_ Somatic Practices
_ Expressive Arts
_ Group inquiry

Rather than focusing on willpower alone, we explore why addictive behaviors develop, what needs they attempt to meet, and how to cultivate healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

This retreat offers time away from daily life to reconnect with your body, develop practical recovery tools, and experience the support of a compassionate, organic community walking similar paths.

No previous experience is required.

This summer, I had my first "Urlaub auf Balkonien".

I played with a very happy fox in Wannsee (I love foxes), I felt my feet in the (non-glass strewn) grass for long, slow-mo meditative walks, I was entranced by a spider (again!) and watched it weave the most beautiful web for a long time.

As I watched this spider weave this huge web between two trees across a "human footpath", I was moved to tears by its delicate work. I have a special place in my heart for spiders. How marvelously intricate their webs are, how diligently they work and then rest and wait. How many times in their life they weave and weave again, after webs are destroyed by weather, other creatures, humans ....

Spiders don`t ever say "Not again! I`m not going to try to rebuild again, I`m done." Or "I put all this hard work into building my home and it`s ruined. That`s not fair." Or "I`ve done this too many times."

Spiders are a power animal (as are all animals in their inherent wisdom) that give me an uuuumf when I get stuck in "I don`t wanna try again" thinking.

I didn`t wake up to any alarms on this Urlaub, I didn`t "work" (with all my various streams of work, it`s very rare I`m off everything). My brain rested, I didn`t adhere to linear time. I saw friend`s spontaneously. Markus and I wandered around the city and parks with no plans, no agendas and no practical conversations.
(Indie did spend some days with one of his human favs in Bayern, too).

A few weeks ago, Markus and I offered our 4th annual CLOSER Retreat, a 5Rhythms x Er0tic Exploration to open up space inside ourselves and in connection to each other. This year`s theme was "My Other Sides", an inquiry into our er0tic personas.

By inviting the possibly for er0ticism to arrive without relegating it to s3x, we are always touched by the depth of vulnerability, feelings, organic connection and vibrant creativity that emerges.

Some people come back each year and what an extra gift it is to witness their process over the time. One asked how do I develop the yearly installations which are inevitably different and always co-creative.

Quite simply, I open myself to the creative process without trying to understand what the "outcome" will be. Staying present and relaxed in the unfolding, never being "nervous" about not knowing, deeply trusting in the creative process and the juicy aliveness of Spirit bursting through each person.

CLOSER Retreat 2027: June 17-20

Longplay was a new experiment borne exactly 1 year ago. One year on from this concept, I recognize that my desire and curiosity for long form remains so palpable.

We begin the evening with a 5Rhythms Wave to arrive into our bodies and into the space together. I`ll then share a few words about this particular album and we`ll drop into the dance of a full album together:

How is it to surrender to the structure of an album?
How might our movements shift or deepen as we immerse into the chronology of tracks, traveling the artistic logic and story?
What arises as we travel with an album composition, or “stick with” this concept, perhaps as a metaphor for life experience?

♥︎ Björk, Debut Album ♥

Perhaps you are called to wear something that this album inspires in you?
If yes - please do so!

Bringing awe to what arises when there is permission for the erotic to have space to dance, this evening especially offers invitations to play with clothing, sensations and dropping our perceptions of eroticism = s-xuality. Rather, we make space for the energy to light our creativity, integrity and freedom of expression in its sacred aliveness.

❍ Integrative Coaching. For focused individual support with a holistic approach. These are one to one sessions, or open for couples, looking for ways to deepen awareness and transformation.

#5rhythms #5rhythmsdance #consciousdance #ecstaticdance #consciousberlin ...

Working with couples is a special dance that includes holding the individual experiences, pains, joys and truths alongside the dynamic aliveness of the couple.

While individual healing is, of course, so potent and powerful, there is another flavor of healing that arises when couples step into coaching together - another layer of vulnerability may surface, a kaleidoscope of feelings may emerge, systemic patterns reveal themselves in a unique angle.

Each relationship deserves attention, curiosity and openness to the co-creation of patterns, struggles, hopes, personas .... and I"m so honored to accompany couples on their journeys.

╰┈➤ DM for more info or to schedule a no-cost preliminary chat to feel into how we can work together.

Integrative relationship work for couples who are ready for a process of discovery, empowerment, mutual respect and healing.

Sessions are available online or in person, in Berlin.
