Values & Experiences

I am all for collaborative behaviour, open exchange of ideas and mutual support in all areas, publicly and privately. In combining skills and resources and focusing them towards shared goals we reach them far quicker and in a more holistic way than on our own. - And with way more fun ;)

The most fascinating & transforming ideas start to bloom only when bright minds and hearts come together and settle on a mission.

From Old French 'corage' : "from one's heart".                 

While often used interchangeably with 'Bravery', these are two distinct concepts. Bravery means to override and shut off your fears, while Courage acknowledges those and climbs the barrier hand in hand with them.

Courage is speaking and acting from your heart being fully aware and accepting that other's might reject you. In this way Courage is fulfilling the promise of staying true to yourself and your values in the face of adversity

Let's face it: Current times can seem pretty f*cked up. 

That's what makes a polycrisis. Recognizing the challenges that we face with radical candor, not shunning away from harsh realities enables us to get a clear and unobstructed picture of the situation. 

Then act on it.

"But where there is danger, salvation grows..." 

Just because the outlook is bleak, this is no excuse to throw all dreams and visions over board. Exactly the opposite. 

"You think imagination isn't real? From it alone new worlds can evolve. In the things that we create, we are free.", the famous German writer Michael Ende wrote. 

So let's dream bigger. Let's envision in even more colourful ways. Let our ideas become the blueprint for the sunny times ahead.
And then let us set out to create these future worlds - together

"Health isn't everything but without health everything is nothing." 🤓

Health is THE factor that makes or breaks a fulfilling life experience. Patients, especially in the chronic disease space, where all they are told is how to "manage" their symptoms deserve new answers. They deserve good answers. And they deserve it NOW. 

Re-thinking our approach to health also has the potential to radically transform and prolong health- and lifespan at the same time.

Contributing to deliver answers in this field is what I made one of my missions, currently with my startup PrecisionBiome

Being well emotionally means nothing less than being friends with the one person that we share every single moment with - ourselves. This has not only the most profound impact on our own life and experience but affects everything we do, every person we interact with, as well. 

Being estranged to oneself and being estranged to one's fellow humans and habitat are intricately linked. And supporting a person to come into good contact with him:herself -maybe for the first time ever- has the potential to profoundly impact all of these relationships for the better. 

Having experienced the first and experiencing and cherishing the latter state I am passionate and excited to add my part in changing society not just on the big but also on the small scale- human by human.

For a society where our differences and spectra are cherished.

How boring a place our world would be if everyone would be alike, falling into an uniform pattern. 

Creating spaces where people can be courageous to show their patterns, ideas & talents in public and contribute their uniqueness to the tapestry of a colourful society is what I stand for. 

Brave Spaces > safe spaces.

Climate crisis & Co - Humanity threw a hell of a party on this little Spaceship Earth in the last centuries, without much consideration for breaking stuff and what it meant for all the other beings we share it with. 

Overcoming the challenge of the polycrisis not only means coming together as humanity but coming together again with nature. 

Thinking about and actively shaping concepts and forms of Planetary Togetherness is a topic dearest to my heart.
