I'm Andreas, 48, and I've spent most of my life in Berlin. My journey has encompassed various phases, with personal growth, transformation, and spiritual healing at the core. Driven by a desire to understand myself and the world around me, I've faced numerous challenges, made mistakes, and embraced learning opportunities, all while striving for authenticity.
Even as a child, I was searching for meaning, but it was after my first psychedelic experience at 17 that the doors of perception truly began to open for me​
​
This profound shift led me to dive deep into consciousness, eventually becoming a monk and serving in a spiritual community rooted in Vedic traditions, where I spent seven years immersed in devotion and self-discovery. That chapter concluded with a major transformation—marriage and the journey of fatherhood, raising three children.
​
​​
Eight years later, after this marriage ended, life made it clear that it was time to integrate matter and the body more fully. I became a yoga teacher and encountered Tantric philosophy for the first time. Alongside this, I studied with various indigenous teachers, learning from their plant medicines and shamanic wisdom.
​
My path eventually led me to one of the last remaining lineages of authentic classical Tantra, and after years of practice and searching, I was fortunate to receive initiation from one of its most respected teachers—shortly before he left his body.
As my journey continued, I explored modern Western Tantra and sacred sexuality, participating in initiatory trainings with leading teachers and organizations in the field.
​
Up until that point, I believed I carried little unresolved trauma. I was unaware that my decades of spiritual practice had, in many ways, been a way to work around my wounds rather than truly face them. When I finally committed to meeting these abandoned parts of myself and fully arriving in my body, I could never have imagined what lay behind those doors—both the terror and the beauty.This led me to a school of embodied soul initiation, where I found some of the most deeply integrated transformational work I have encountered to this day.

For the first time, I also sought real support and began receiving sessions myself—a complete game changer. I finally realized that when it comes to trauma, we are not meant to navigate it alone. And that makes total sense—after all, we come from tribal roots, where elders and wisdom keepers provided guidance and support.
​One of my most trusted therapists became my teacher, and I became a student of her method—a synthesis of body-oriented psychotherapy,greenberg, craniosacral work, and decades of shamanic studies with healers from South America.
​
A consistent blessing has been that, as I embrace new challenges, life presents me with wonderful teachers- from human realms and others—who guide and support me along the way.

It continues to amaze me how the divinity and beauty of existence become self-evident the moment the nervous system relaxes and allows perception to return to what simply is.​​
