Personal words:

Every day I remember breathing and let the movement flow in me, I lay down on the ground and my body know how to investigate.

 I believe that all of us are better expressed when we are connected through intuition and through the integration of all parts of our being . i see us as apart of the living  space that around us .  i believe that it is essencial for us as humens to meet  in body as well as in mind, also i know that we need fuisical  a games & challenge and friction in order to fully be in our abilities & in widing them as well as  of talking and sharing thoughts. My love is to look at life and nature as a large and complex dance that repeats itself and always surprises me again.
