I’m burning to get to the bottom of what drives us, br(e)akes us, and keeps us (all) together. Family circumstances sent me on my philosophical journey by the age of 4. Earlier than that might have been better personally. Since childhood, I have been gripped by the belief that there is more. Star Wars has been invigorating the idea of a higher power, a mind capable of moving mountains, virtues contributing to a greater good, that are worth abandoning common dogmata for. Till today, I get spurred into these ideas by most different inspirations (from CG Jung, over P. Coelho, D. Chopra, E. Tolle, up to Max Planck) and never stop believing. Sports became an indispensable part of my life, giving me self-confidence and ease as well as physical strength in navigating through troubled waters of my journey. From 2009, at the time of my highschool graduation, only three successive mental seminars by Franz Jochen Schwarz changed my entire life. At its core, I was able to learn about polarity, individual shadows and deep-seated dogmata within one’s self. I was shown tools to live symbiotically with my subconsciousness and the universal laws instead of subversively. FJ Schwarz’ teachings got me in touch with CG Jung’s wisdom at first, his deep imprint on me was yet to come. Back then, I already felt a resonance to forward these mighty teachings one day. They should’ve been taught in every school! I dove deeper into the rabbit hole. Subsequently, I found access to universal unity in Buddhism. Reading and practicing on my own, I deeply grasped unconditional connectedness with everything and the overjoyed nature of our mind in states of bliss lasting for weeks, which one would probably categorize as “enlightenments”. As you might have read before, one cannot neither explain this in words nor logic. Reading this description so many times before myself and finding it so dumb, I did finally understand it. Feeling is understanding! I don’t want to miss out on mentioning Jim Carrey’s impact on me talking so soulfully about topics like the let go of the ego, detachment and the prior role of our playful heart. A near-fatal ski accident on a glacier in 2018 could have ended my life and closed this chapter right here, but destiny/ universe/ god (“I have no name for it! Feeling is everything; name is smoke and dust.” -Goethe) gifted me with an unforgettable sense of gratitude for the privilege to LIVE instead. With a second life in which I wanted to leave an impact. Throughout the years of my spiritual journey, I felt the chaos of such different teachings accumulating in my schoolbag. Still, I stayed true to my path and persisted with it. To learn more and make sure that everything has rhyme and reason, I have been studying psychologies since 2016. The result is clear: Most recent science cannot really explain how and why, but shows that it all works. Meditation, yoga and nature have an evidently positive impact on us. 2020, in due time, I reconnected with FJ Schwarz. Along his precious guidance, CG Jung came to the forefront again. By reading his primary literature, not only was I left with stoke every third page - dog earing over and over - but also fragmental space between heaven and earth bit by bit adding up to an integral picture. A pinnacle worth showing everyone. Connecting the spirit to the tangible form down to earth in such an accessible way. Through this, I realized: my superpower is to build bridges that promote integrative thinking, interdisciplinary cooperation and development on a holistic scale, showing alternatives to further fragmentation of the world through exclusive thinking, competition and progress under the Damocles sword of growth. My calling is to share what I’ve been collecting together and to inspire you with all the personal souvenirs that I’m deriving out of the intensive journeys through many different paths. Through the ups and downs. The concept of THE SEARCH retreats came up on a stunning summer day’s sunset at Lago di Garda in 2019. A day shared with dear friends - like-minded people. Spent with activities nourishing the soul. We had been out mountain biking, climbing and/ or surfing and had turned inwards practicing yoga and meditation, framed by heartfelt talks. That evening, our souls were so calm and in peace, and our hearts so full of the joy for living that the feeling arose: actually we don’t need anything else than this balance of physical adventure and mindful mindful care for ourselves and our fellows. It struck us that this content feeling should be spread throughout the world in the form of camps. Hence, this is what my team and I do today to make you happier and this world a better place.
