MY WAY WITH TASTE, SOUND AND COLOUR
The fusion of Orient and Occident is in me from birth: I have been lucky to unite different cultures (Germany / India / Switzerland) within me. And it is precisely these different cultures that make me EastWest conscious: So I was early initiated into the alchemy of cooking, sound and music arts. The mystical secrets of Vedic culture and the experience of body, mind and soul as ONE have always been very important to me and manifested themselves in my kitchen art from 1993 onwards. Travels through India influenced my cooking significantly, which made friends and acquaintances culinary curious. In 2002, I founded the chilifactory, the cooking studio, in India (Goa) with the idea of creating food for body, mind and soul. For about 13 years I was able to inspire many people interested in vegi cooking at home and abroad for holistic cooking.
In 2016, I put the cooking bowls aside. It was important for me to find a new form of holistic soul food, a food that does not produce food waste and where holistic transformation can be experienced - looking inwards.
Through my family of origin I had access to pure sounds, mantra chanting and music of all styles from the very beginning; I myself played the violin and let myself be touched and carried away by the depth of the sounds again and again.
In 2010 I came into harmony with the vibrational frequencies of sound bowls, at first I simply recorded them myself and let them work through me, until 2017 when I began to deal with sounds more intensively. At that time I came into contact with the hypno-systemic approach. Sound could be an interesting instrument of trance induction in this approach and work in the alpha theta brain wave range.
As part of my further training as a systemic counselor, I developed Systemic Sound Counseling in 2019, a combination of sound journeys and systemic counseling approaches. If you want to learn more about it, you can find info about sound and my master thesis in pdf here: Sound Space
And the colours? I have always been fascinated by the thrill of colour frequencies; since 2007 I have been exploring colour in photography and painting and how colour and form affect us. I express this in my photos and paintings.
