My practice is guided by the conviction, that our genetic make-up and the circumstances into which we were born, provide us with limits and with possibilities and that the choice of how to live our lives within that range, is largely up to us.
I also share the notion that every one of us is born equipped with an innate striving urge to become and to overcome, as well as with the creative ability to figure out how to aim our urge in that direction.
With our creative force behind our striving urge we are able to create and re-create ourselves; to change, to adjust and to face life’s challenges.
Indeed, determining what our right direction is can be a challenging endeavour and not everyone can do it alone.
