PURNAMA

I see beauty everywhere I go

BALINESE & INDIGENOUS WISDOM KEEPER
YOGA PHILOSOPHY TEACHER
SINGER & SONGWRITER
CEREMONIALIST

 Born to a Swiss father & a Balinese mother,
I feel blessed to have grown up with two richly diverse cultures, religions & ways of life. This unique upbringing has widened my horizon, allowed me to see the world through different lenses, and fostered an open-heartedness that guides me to this day.

Also because of this I do not feel attached to merely one cultural identity in particular, though I have been shaped by many in this lifetime.
For me, the Earth transcends borders, and I find my belonging in Her.

My upbringing did not only bring blessings, but also posed many complex challenges. Especially my teenage & young adult years were marked by pain, confusion, abuse, loneliness and depression. Feeling deeply misunderstood in my family and the environment I grew up in, I moved out of my parents’ house as soon as I reached 18 years old, on a quest to find healing.

Guided by my intuition and the currents of life, I made connections with people from all walks of life. My adventures led me to spend a significant amount of time in France, Guatemala, Argentina, Peru and Morocco, where I’ve lived, learned & worked. And so next to my mother tongue being (Swiss-) German & Indonesian, I am also fluent in English, French & Spanish, and speak conversational level Balinese.

Art, music & community have always been my guiding lights.
They have been the medicine to help me get through the darkest of times.
From learning temple dance as a child in Bali, to drumming in Marrakech, to attending plant ceremonies in Peru – whenever I felt like I was straying too far away, these experiences brought me back to Source and the ancient wisdom in my soul.

Struck by the beauty, creativity, and shared humanity of the people I encountered, I strongly believe in our interconnectedness and our ability to create positive change in the world.
We truly are one.

I am deeply devoted to create sacred spaces for people to gather, united through the universal language & power of music and ceremony. Through these, I aspire to strengthen our ties as human beings – both to each other and the natural world – and to enrichen the human experience, reminding of our ability to create heaven on earth.

May every step I take carve a fragment of a better world.

My Mission

We all have our own unique power.
The power to love. The power to inspire. The power to change.

Once we become aware of this power, we realize that it is in our hands to create a reality that we desire.
A world of harmony, abundance & peace.

My aim in creating sacred spaces and sharing the medicine of music & the wisdom of indigenous cultures that I’ve grown up with or learned from, is to raise our awareness and our consciousness to the ultimate truth that I devote myself to.
That we are loved, that we are free, and that we are infinite.

I am fully dedicated and in service to the means of life that bring people back home, back to themselves and their true soul. Awakening ancient memory, creating a world of community & togetherness.

My prayer is that through your visit into my online & offline spaces, for your life to get enriched in some way.
May you remember that you are always loved.

We are the seeds of freedom.
Let us spread & become the forests of change.
