I am looking forward to exploring the city with you!
Why I offer these walks
I love to walk – it’s the slowest and therefore best way for me to discover the city and its surroundings – be it through conscious listening to the ‚city sounds‘ or through a mindful gaze that inspires me to take photos. I’m always on the lookout for small green and quiet oases in the city that invite me to pause and give me peace. I would like to share these places and my experiences through mindfulness and Qi Gong practice with you, as well as my passion for walking, for Qi Gong, for a mindful life, for discovery tours.
I highly value encounters between different people from different cultures and find (intercultural) exchange very exciting, enriching and also important.
I like to support people to feel comfortable with themselves, so that joy, lightness and enjoyment can unfold in life.
