Conversations that Matter
An invitation for you – as part of my project “New Ways to Break the Paradox of Modern Happiness.”
We live under better conditions than ever – and still, more of us struggle. Let’s explore what happens when insights from Western science meet the wisdom of Eastern traditions.
When East meets West
A Conversation
– no Agenda, no Cost
- A relaxed, welcoming space.
- A simple, honest conversation.
- Guided by curiosity — not by a fixed agenda.
What to expect
- No recordings.
- No formal note-taking.
- An open space to reflect and explore.
And who knows? A conversation might lead to something more.
Why this Project?
Because something feels off. Perhaps it is time to stop, look closer – and find new ways. In conversations at the edge of modern life.
Sometimes, one real conversation is all it takes to change direction
In just a few short years, I have been profoundly surprised by what I discovered through yoga. Not just on the mat — in the studio, in movement, in silence, in meditation — but also in the vast body of knowledge that lies beneath the surface. The people I have met, their life stories, their presence — all of it has left a mark.
Yoga opened my eyes to the timeless wisdom of the East — wisdom that brought me back to life, stronger and more whole. From burnout, house fire and serious illness – to a whole new beginning.
I believe something essential is emerging in these spaces, connecting beautifully with my work around the power of the smile.
What if we could bring even a spark of that wisdom into our lives, our work, and our culture? Could we begin to uncover new solutions to the challenges of the modern Western world.
That is why I am dedicating the next two years to exploring how Western science and Eastern wisdom can meet.
I will speak with people like you and me – about what it means to live, in big ways and small. With those who have stepped off the obvious path. With teachers who don’t pretend to have the answers.
And with people moving between Western science and Eastern wisdom — not to believe, but to find out what is actually true.
The journey takes me through one of the world’s largest yoga festivals in Sweden, and on to longer retreats along the Portuguese Atlantic coast.
Along the way, stories are shared. Workshops take shape. A podcast begins. And perhaps, a third book begins to write itself
I am keeping my plans deliberately open. To stay fully present. To listen. To be available to whatever — and whoever (you?) — shows up on the path.
