who i am?
in south india there was a well known yogi named sri ramana maharsi. constantly asking to himself "who i am?" was his trick to enlightenment.
are you your name? are you your nationality? are you your age? are you your body? are you your mind? are you your profession?
in my case, born in 64, i am half catalan (my mum is from roses) and half belgian but also a little french and, sometimes, from nowhere. silke, my partner is german, i lived in belgium, france and spain. i am father and even grand father, i have various professions, i like so many things such as travelling the wide world, the sea and sailboats, walking in the mountains, the empordà, cooking, books, listening to music, running, yoga, meditation and many other things. what am i going to tell you more about me? there's so many years!
i'll tell you just enough. namely, enough to situate yourself and, eventually, for an encounter to take place.
imagination
invent, draw, design and create. as a child, i imagined becoming an inventor. though originally my profession is creative, graphic designer and visual communicator.
yoga
is all together a practice, a lifestyle and a job. my holistic approach to yoga stems from the 'integral yoga' developed by sri aurobindo and the mother.
i discovered it by chance during a trip to india, where i returned later to find out more and then to train there as a hatha teacher. since then i offer my lessons in a hall, at home and even at work.
empordà
i love to walk and share with others the many paths, tracks and trails of my land, the ampurdán. silke and i do it for the pure pleasure of walking and meeting people.
though i am official guide "bon coneixedor del parc natural del cap de creus" and i am also guide of the ciutadella de roses.
la vie en roses
my partner, silke, and i offer ourselves as guides to local life in roses. we help people who are moving here, who come here often or who are planning to do so. we accompany, guide and help them while they discover or rediscover the place, the culture and the people; while they are looking for a place to live and during their moving in, settling in and familiarisation process.

talking about death
periodically, in roses, silke and i share a cake and tea or coffee with people, around a table to talk about death, openly and without taboos.
we do it in catalan, spanish, sometimes also in french, english, even in german.
there are no pre-established agendas, objectives or topics, nor is it a support or grief counseling session.

sharing well-being
let's imagine a place in roses, or close to roses, where you can get to know yourself better, get to know others, move your body-mind-soul, share your experience, continue growing, master stress, contribute to the world , doing things while just simply being, to enjoy...
that place is called el casal zen (www.elcasalzen.org). my partner and i, are creating it.
simplicity
getting rid of too much, keeping what is necessary. it is simply beautiful.
