We need living spaces reflecting the architecture of our inner space

What? You are also an ARCHITECT?

Yes, I am. With 25 years of experience, I’ve passed through all levels of craftsmanship. This taught me how to turn beauty into bricks, matter into sacred space. Molding the infinite into shape is an art. The unending flow of creativity and love cannot be constructed with tools of the intellect alone.

Architecture, any art really, does not produce anything. It birthes the subtle into manifestation. From a sense of proportion, keen discernment and right timing. To build the fundament of our lives well, we need to be in harmonious relations with ourselves, others and the universe. Let me help you create your circumstances following who you are. From vision to assembly.

How we could work together

It is important to take time in the beginning, long before you enter into any kind of liability such as a purchase, lease, planning or loan agreement. To get off on the right food is crucial, because some decisions have wide-reaching consequences for the entire project. You want to get this right, and not blindly follow some impulse. And if you have to jump, because the time is right, then you are fully aware of what you’re getting yourself into. Therefore, I highly recommend to sit around the table with someone who can guide you through these initial stages.

This assessment only takes a few hours. We will be looking at all areas involved. Sharing our visions, investigating possibilities and analysing needs, on the one hand. Looking at the location and its properties, the construction framework and finances, on the other.

Based on our discussion and my advice, we will put together a detailed task or project description. This outline serves as reference for all further investigations, e.g. talks with banks or investors, architects, construction companies, to name just a few.

This way of initiating a project, really works for anything you want to start. Maybe you're planning to become self-employed or you need to make a bigger move? Let’s discuss. With an open heart and a sense of possibility much can be done.

Sometimes it is necessary to start directly with the implementation, because the moment is right. Your potential, your financial resources are limited? Be assured, all that is limiting you, is your thoughts. As soon as you start reaching out, things will change.

Working together is the key here. Because everybody has to bring something to the table, ‘bricks to weigh in’. I am prepared to use my expertise and resources, also financially, if your project makes my heart dance. Don't hesitate to contact me.

A great building must begin with the unmeasurable,
must go through measurable means when it is being designed
and in the end must be unmeasurable.

Ashram Living

We are experiencing the dawn of a new humanity, the emergence of ancient wisdom for our times. Technology makes our lives convenient, phones, laptops and the internet help stay in touch, manage daily chores and learn about literally anything. Yet, we have not come anywhere close to developing our human potential, our inner technology of consciousness. While our planet is ascending, we all, as people of the Earth, are asked to heal, take care of ourselves, others and the planet. Becoming love, loving and lovable forever.

Sohong Center

An Ashram is the house of the teacher, where life reaches beyond ordinary living, equal parts safe haven and pressure cooker. The sohong center has been created in that spirit. Many people came to help build it, and many keep coming to learn, inspire, and confront each other.

I am very grateful for this gift, and the level of strength and devotion it helped us develop. Currently, I live here with my partner and our children. The ground floor of the two buildings houses the yoga center. The first building consists of three apartments - just above the center - of which one is rented out. We also have a front and a back garden as well as a courtyard connecting the buildings. It is a self-sustaining way of living.

Yet, there is still room for expansion. More is possible. We are ready to open up the living space and share it with people who use their potential for awakening and the preservation of resources.

Are you looking for a long term engagement, dedicating your time to personal and collective growth and development? As a teacher, healer, builder, or all of it? Can you imagine contributing to the maintenance and extension of the buildings? Mid-term one of the apartments could be repurposed for whatever we come up with. Maybe you are interested in taking over the local management when we leave? Anything is possible, really. I appreciate your interest and consideration.

Land Project

My vision is to create a space somewhere in the country, a true center of Conscious Living. Depending on size, the location of the property and the facilities, the space could be used permanently or temporarily. It could be a place that already exists and we simply join forces. It could be several places working together as a network.
