My Story

I was born and raised in post-comunist Romania, a time of great transition which has led and defined my steps in life. Growing up in an emerging world, where the old one was dying but the new was not yet born has build my resilience, creativity and trust in life itself. 

While graduating as a Cineast and Designer from the University of Arts in Bucharest, a certain calling was present within me, that this world, and all it´s development, has a deep disfunctionality and as such, I took it as my mission to create as much resilience around myself as possible – ecologic, social, economic and spiritual. 

Soon after, at only 21 years old, my father passed away from a heart attack. It has been an elegant, shocking and enlightening experience for me, to be so close to the last moments of someones life. This event changed me deeply and since then I decided that everyday is a chance for something new. That evolution and all life itself is precious, fragile and strong and that whichever path life will show me, I will walk and create it with grace. 

I moved to an off-grid eco-community in the mountains of Romania, where I have planned to stay 6 months on a journey of self-sufficiency and Permaculture exploration. I stayed 4 years, living off the land, learning about alternative plants, medicine, community building and mostly returning to a simpler way of living, a more attuned, clear and in balance with Life Itself. A lot of silent retreats and meditation has happened in this time. 

I started noticing how, in the face of Complexity and Climate Change, what truly supports resilience is the capacity to respond to it, so I engaged with Permaculture, Sociocracy and the Global Ecovillage Network in the hopes of giving life meaning and building a future that is not yet here. 

After four more years of nomadic traveling, serving and learning from more than 40 Ecovillage projects in Europe, I landed in the Community Schloss Glarisegg, my dear home. 

Nine years later, I have learned that without a clean and conscious relational field, what happens between people, resilience and creativity is blocked. We need processes, rituals, understanding and deepening of our humanity in such a way that our relations are safe, harmonious and attuned to nature as a Whole. 

After working extensively with NGO´s, Companies, Networks – Facilitating Group Dynamics, Organisational Development and Holistic Planning – my path led me to Trauma Integration Therapy, Collective Trauma Healing and Community Building Process work.
