Born in Germany, the past decade I lived mostly nomadically with a home-base in Berlin & Tuscany. This reflects in my international social network and is one of the reasons I believe in the power of a community of value-aligned women. I have always been thriving for an wholistic, balanced lifestyle, whereas I love both: the inspiration and dynamics of cities and the tranquility I find in nature. My personal mission at the moment is to make an impact by bringing together digital with local communities in rural spaces. I am passionate about personal and professional development, creative unfolding and mindfulness. With a business background in Consulting and Project Management, I am now moving into the Community and Social Entrepreneur space, hosting retreats, getting a coaching certification and working on establishing my own ceramics business.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I believe on deep connections through values and mindset - united by choice and spiritual journey - rather than coincidentally being born in the same geographical region or social class. Trying to meet every person without judgment and prejudice is challenging at times, but being aware of our own belief system and narratives can be a first step. In my life, I chose to take the road less traveled. It's bumpy at times, but it takes me places I would have never discovered otherwise.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
In summer, I work in a renowned ceramics school in Tuscany. I also have my own little garden art studio for painting, ceramics and other handcrafts. Working with ceramics has a meditative and healing effect on me and I love to share my passion with others.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
Social Entrepreneurship, Community Building, Project Management, Digital Transformation & Business Development. Facilitation of groups, hosting retreats and Event Management. I am also on my journey to become a certified coach. I can help navigate the Italian system, if anyone is looking to re-locate here from abroad :)
