The retreat will be led bilingually (German/English).

All my programmes are underpinned by a deep conviction that music and human connection have a healing effect on us as human beings. Sometimes the focus is on your musical and vocal development or your personal growth; at other times, it is on spontaneous music-making and your creative expression within a group setting.

Are you looking for a change in your life? Do you suffer from stress, anxiety or inner turmoil? As a Gestalt therapist specialising in music, I will guide you in rediscovering your inner resources through dialogic contact, sound and creativity. No prior musical experience is required. Book a free initial consultation at my practice in Berlin or Potsdam. Alternatively, I also offer online sessions via video conference.

Circle Singing

Discover your voice in playful community – connecting, liberating and with no prior experience needed. Through my decades of experience with circlesongs, bodymusic and vocal improvisation I have afully-stocked toolbox of co-creative games and improv formats at my disposal. In workshops, courses and private lessons In Berlin and Potsdam, you will develop your voice, overcome inhibitions and experience music as a living, creative process. Every voice is welcome!

Team building with music

Experience a special connection as a team through cooperative making music – lively and suitable for everyone with no prior knowledge. Playful exercises with rhythm, movement, and sound encourage mutual listening, self-responsibility, and genuine co-creation. Making music together with your own body strengthens communication, trust and creativity – ideal for companies, groups and teams. Further information available on request.
