  • Description

    Julia: I’m a multipassionate and creative person who thrives on inspiring conversations. Currently, I’m exploring new career opportunities and reflecting on what I truly want in life. I am eager to build meaningful connections, meet inspiring people, and develop new skills.

    I enjoy engaging in a variety of activities and creative expressions. My primary interests include yoga, breathwork, sound healing, somatic practices, interculturality, languages, arts and crafts, sustainability, personal development, entrepreneurship, and connecting with nature. I also love hiking, reading, ceramics, climbing, dancing, singing, and painting. Further, I would really like to learn to play handpan, how to work with wood, upcycle furniture and plant and maintain gardens.

    I just started my second yoga teacher training, with a focus on feminine cyclic nature, embodiement and the nervous system. In 2025, I plan to launch a self-employed project centered on these topics, as well as mindful and authentic living and expression. Thus, I’m especially excited about exchanging ideas on these topics, self-employment and remote working.

    During my school years, I spent six months in New Zealand, and in 2023, I had the chance to live in Sweden for three months. I’m excited to embrace new, enriching experiences in beautiful places and connect with people from different cultures.

    Christoph: I find myself versatile and creative in this world, so I have a deep need to focus on things to build and last. In the meantime I go traveling to feel the flow of life.

    Having a management degree and a bachelor degree in music and media, I have explored and experimented with different art and media productions such as sound design, photography, film production, media composition, animation film, app production (I launched an interactive meditation app called ORRO WORLD) , AI based projects, art installations and more. Recently, I have more focused on voice acting, dubbing and content creation for my voice portfolio. It is my wish to found a fulfilling project in the future that is coherent with my values of independence, transformation and creativity.

    In the last ten years I also collected traveling and community experience. In 2010 I was on work and travel trip in Australia. In 2016 I was in Taos, New Mexico for a 3-week internship with Earthship Biotecture. In the following years I visited communities and gatherings in Europe and Australia. In 2022 I got to know different squats and communities in Barcelona but which I see with mixed feelings and a potential to improve. Later that year, I volunteered another 2 months in a Shiatsu and therapy resort in Switzerland.

    Thus, I have building and therapy experience. After a first 9 months of civil service at the age of 17 in a psychiatric hospital I have then explore the realm of therapy and mindfulness. I spent many years of sitting in silence and informing myself about therapy and mindfulness practise. I occasionally teach a recreational format of TRE (Trauma Release Exercise) to healthy individuals and will start my official teacher training in 2025.

    Also, I went in many countries in Oceania, North America, Europe and Asia. For many years I traveled simple and without much budget but through hitchhiking and couchsurfing. I walked the 88 temples in Japan and the Rota Vincentina pilgrimage in Portugal and I really love hiking!

    I have some building experience with wood from building simple beds, desks and little projects here and there.

    Currently, we live together in Düsseldorf, Germany. Together, we are planning a trip somewhere in Europe.
