I have been working as a trainer and facilitator since 2005, both in Hungary and internationally at learning programmes about ecological awareness and personal development.
My intention is to invite the Natural surroundings as a holding space and mentor into one to one and group learning processes in order to release stress and to strengthen the awareness of our interconnectedness with Nature. We can thus think of ourselves and our Earth as a whole.
During the work we connect with ourselves with yogic practices and mindful presence, with each other with heartfelt deep listening and we connect with the more than human world. This connectedness may soothe symptoms of our sense of separation in our modern society.

I have been working 15 years as an online marketing expert leading and mentoring teams of up to 28 people. My goal was always to take care of the well-being of the team members by personal growth motivation.
Realizing that my life mission is to serve greater purposes than business numbers, I started my transition leaving the business world and volunteering in ecological projects.
More than 50k kilometers behind, +8.000 trees planted, a new network of regenerative friends and mentors thrived, thousands of hours of questioning and listening deep knowledge on alternative regenerative solutions such as Permaculture, Reforestation, Holistic Ecology, Regenerative Fair Communities, Syntropic agroforestry or natural medicinal solutions has become an integral part of my mindset. My main focus is to catalyze regenerative projects putting into practice taking care of the soil, people or communities.
