BIO

As a facilitator of embodied liberation, meditation, somatic exploration and creative flow, a guide on the spiritual path, and above all a mystic and a wonderer, I am wholeheartedly committed to whatever work attune us into practicing intimacy with Reality, and facilitating laboratories of experience for entering into this mystery in a full bodied way.

In my life I have followed the thread of my creative impulse from being a ballet dancer in Norway to training and working as an actor in London pursuing my passion for theatre and filmmaking and investigating the human psyche and condition through storytelling, to following shamans into the jungle of Peru, to further investigate the nature of consciousness and coming home to a sense of the sacred through embodiment, yoga, meditation, tantrik philosophy and earth based feminine wisdom traditions and the ancient ways of ceremony and ritual.

A path of devotion to the sacred and mystical orientations of reality that guided me from numbness and disassociation into aliveness and depth of presence.

After sharing this work for almost a decade in London, I have for the last five years lived on the road on my own personal pilgrimage following the trail of the sacred wells, Black Madonnas and the Magdalene mysteries through Europe, and traveling the world offering retreats, teacher trainings, online courses and deep rituals.

Weaving together teachings and practices from non-dual Śaiva Tantra of the Trika lineage,  Embodied Flow™ and Body-Mind Centering®, Yoga, and other wisdom traditions, I ensue to wake up a field of freedom and discovery within the radiant bodymind, and to facilitate gateways into the felt sense of the innermost sanctuary of our holiness and wholeness.

……………

On this path I have been in deep study with teacher of meditation and awakening Adyashanti, a lifelong journey with Tara Judelle’s school of Embodied Flow™, I have both studied with, assisted and co-taught teacher trainings with Leila Sadeghee, studied intensely with Sianna Sherman, in addition to devoted studies with many scholars and practitioners of non-dual Śaiva Tantra over the past decade, Hareesh Wallis being one of them, undergoing his 6 month Śaiva Tantra initiation along with other courses and pilgrimages.

I am an energy healer under the Merlin lineage with VortexHealing®, and I am also undergoing an endless romance and lovership with the many mystic poets, not only of Sufism but of all traditions, who have been intimate with the Beloved and has given us the cookie crumbs to evoke our Knowing, Feeling and Seeing of Him or Her within our own innerness.

And of course to the many wise wisdom carriers of the earth based traditions, of whom there are too many to mention here, and to the intelligence of the web of Livingness I owe my everything.
