“We are here to remind each other of who we really are!”
Marcel Steiner
My philosophy
Zen, silence, fasting, inner work, medicinal plant retreats – these are all elements that help you discover who you really are!
I use these tools to work with and accompany people on their path.
I do this in the form of retreats lasting several days in my wonderful place “Casa das Aguas Calmas” in southern Portugal and in various retreat houses in Switzerland.
Everything is about love, about “being a little kinder to your neighbors”, as Aldous Huxley put it on his deathbed when he was asked what the essence of his teaching was.
It may sound trite, but that’s exactly what it’s all about: how can I be a kind and loving person in my everyday life?
I would like to accompany you on this journey!
