Ongoing project: New Ways to Break the Paradox of Modern Happiness
A pause
A conversation
A different way forward
I’ve spent decades witnessing how good people lose their way in life and work.
In an increasingly distracted world, we need to pause — and reconnect with ourselves, our work, and each other.
In September 2025, I begin a new two-year life project:
New Ways to Break the Paradox of Modern Happiness.
This is not a career move or a branding exercise.
It is a journey of learning, sharing, and exploring what truly matters – in life, in work, and in how we relate to one another.
My Work Today
Conversations that Matter
Join the conversation. No agenda. No cost. An invitation to take part in a shared inquiry as part of my two-year life project. This is both part of, and inspiration for exploring what emerges when East meets West and wisdom meets science. A space for sharing experiences, ideas, and perspectives. Guided by curiosity — not by a fixed agenda.
Experiential Events
I develop experiential events that create space for what we so rarely allow in modern life and work: Listening, reflection, and meaningful conversation about what truly matters. At times, I also offer personal coaching related to work–life clarity, personal communication, and support during periods of crisis – grounded not in frameworks, but in lived experience.
Senior Editor
At the publishing house Egolibris, I guide authors from manuscript to publication.
Work with Ukrainian Refugees
I have worked at a hotel in Copenhagen supporting the reception of Ukrainian refugees and continue to work one day a week.
Professionel Background
