  • Descripción

    Version corta en español:
    Hola,
    me llamo Svenja. Soy de Alemania pero vivía en Australia por 6 años y en Nueva Zelanda por medio año. Durante 2019 y 2020 viajaba por unos países (Costa Rica, México, Sudafrica) y despues volví a Alemania hasta enero 2022. Por 1.5 años viví en una comunidad intentional y vagana el sur easte de Ecuador muy remoto.

    No funcionó bien con exactamente esas personas que toman las decisiones, así que otros amigos ya se fueron y yo trambién estoy en una fase transitoria.
    No sé que voy a hacer ahora, pero me encanta mi trabajo y unas otras costs. Trabajo en line como masetra de ingles y aleman. Me encantan los idiomas y soy muy ardiente compartir que aprendí yo durante los años con referencia al aprendizaje en general y de los idiomas.
    La otra pasión son mis flautas, especialmente la Shakuhachi!


    Places I have travelled through and lived at:
    Hi! My name is Svenja. I was born in Germany but I lived in Australia from 2013 till early 2019 and afterwards spent 5 months in New Zealand. So far and by far I feel most at home in Australia, but because of visa issues and the high living costs, there is no option to return long-term. I instead followed open doors to a fantastic lifestyle in rural Ecuador in April 2022 after an adventurous time in Costa Rica, Mexico and South Africa, nearly 2 years back in Germany and a trial at a community in Guatemala.
    Unfortunately, it didn't work well with the long-term members and some of my friends already left for other shores. Now I am following and trying to embrace again the life on the road.

    Who am I?:
    I am always interested in learning more about all sorts of different things, gardening, building, mechanics, woodwork, business matters, languages, qigong, yoga, and meditation. Really pretty much everything. I also love sharing what I have learned, especially what I am really passionate about. This is first of all health and diet, language learning and learning in general, gardening (parmaculture, syntropic agriculture) and my instrument the Shakuhachi.
    It is my profession but also my felt calling to learn and share the knowledge with others. My other great passion is personal growth and spirituality which I found is so very closely related to physical health and the ability to learn, so it is constantly a big topic for me and love to share and learn. I love the exchange with other people to view life and the world from another angle and I am always excited if people are open to me sharing my state of understanding and skill with them.
    In 2020 I started working and studying with Integral Zen and got into Qigong. In May 2021 I started playing the Shakuhachi and after about a year, noticing how important it became for me, I decided to be quite serious about it and that it is totally a possibility to become a teacher. This instrument didn't only catch me because of it, but ya, it is a Zen and meditation tool and is used for suizen, i.e. breathing meditation. Hence you can see, mindfulness is a big topic in my life.
    A little bit about my background. I am an Ecotrophologist and Nutritionist which has a heavy influence on my interests and understanding of the world. For myself, I decided to go very far towards a raw-vegan diet, but I am still not sure if I want to be 100% raw. I discovered fasting (done 3 weeks in Aug/Sep 19), yoga, meditation and other techniques and practices and started being serious about it back in 2017. So far I am not nearly where I want to be, however, I am growing, learning and just walking the path I found for myself and that alone is already a big step for me.
    Around the world, I am always trying to reach out to like-minded people as I didn't come across many by meeting them in my immediate surroundings. It was my dream to educate and help people to live a healthier, more conscious and (probably most important) joyful life and to live, at least most of the year, in a place where there is fruit in abundance, hence I'm probably always to be found in tropical areas.
    I am still trying to fit in personal study, online and with books or audios.
    Additionally, I do have a channel on YouTube to first be forced to organise the information in my head and second share it with others. Long-term, of course, it would also be a possibility to show people what consulting and coaching services I offer. The programs for this are still in the making. All this is currently on ice because of time restraints.
    Always neglected by me are all things creative unfortunately, although I do enjoy music, I can play guitar and recorder and I like to sing. I also enjoy doing some whittling and carving. The place where I can be most creative is, however, the kitchen. Only very slowly my Shakuhachi is following, in October 2023 I got quite a bit of interesting input at our first Dojo festival in Nara, Japan.

  • Algo más...

    Hm, what else? I am a pretty chatty person, however I usually am better with one on one conversations. I like being outside, working in the garden, going for a walk or hike and enjoying nature's beauty.
    I want to live by example and always try to practice empathy and acceptance. I am always aiming to treat every living creature with the same respect and live a non-violent life. To achieve this I am trying to accept as many consequences as possible which is one reason for my diet of choice and also reflects in other consumer choices, eg. reducing plastic waste, using little to now personal hygiene products, trying to buy only products made from natural sources.

    • Dieta especial
      Especially after putting so much time and money into the fast and getting my body healthier, I would like to stick to a vegan diet with lots of raw fruits and salads. My health is important so I would be willing to buy some myself if necessary.
