I make the invisible visible.
I turn abstract concepts into matter through art, facilitation and events
UPCOMING

Monthly gathering for the conversations we're not having. January 16 — Lakefront, Stockholm
ART AS
A VERB
Creativity isn't for artists. It's a way of doing life.
What if you didn't lose your creativity — you just forgot it was never about making things?
What if art isn't for artists — but a way of being alive? Of relating to complexity, change, yourself, and others?
The Nordic winter asks us to go inward. The roots of a seed do their most creative work in the dark.
6 weeks. A small group. We'll practice paying attention differently — through morning pages, honest conversation, and tools from The Artist's Way, Rick Rubin, and the Inner Development Goals. Each session closes with sauna by the lake, letting what surfaces settle into the body.
You won't leave with a painting. You'll leave with a practice. A way of moving through your life that was always yours.
Includes 1-1 coaching before and after.

Inhabit Yourself
Inhabit Yourself
“How do we inhabit ourselves when facing challenges? What if, like in nature's composting process, our difficulties could become fertile soil for growth? In this TEDx talk, I explore how nature's wisdom can transform our relationship with challenge, offering a framework for both personal and systemic change.
Through personal story and practical metaphor, discover how creative resilience can turn our 'trauma-lands' into fertile ground for new possibilities
