Thomas Kriegbaum

As someone who values ​​truth, I enjoy getting to the bottom of things—a trait that serves me well in my career in IT. Yet, I eventually realized that sensory experience - focusing on the human being rather than just their functionality - was sorely lacking in that realm. So, I began to pursue this new interest: What defines us as human beings? How do we relate to one another? How do we treat ourselves?

These questions can also be explored deeply, though less through intellect and more through direct experience, perception, and genuine interest. From then on, I dedicated part of my free time to numerous self-discovery workshops and training courses in psychology, therapy, and rhythm.

WHAT DOES TAKETINA MEAN TO ME?

To put it somewhat dramatically: When the demands of daily life leave no room for the "causeless joy of simply being," the question arises—how can we reconnect with that feeling? Sometimes it happens effortlessly; at other times, something stands in the way. Discovering what stands in the way often requires a highly mindful environment where everything is allowed to be exactly as it is. TaKeTiNa is offered from a mindset that fosters just such an environment, and that is precisely what I value so much about this work.

ABOUT MY TAKETINA SESSIONS

My TaKeTiNa workshops are deeply shaped by my training at Zist Penzberg. During that time, I learned a great deal about shifting away from "doing" and "wanting" (active striving) toward perceiving and surrendering (allowing things to unfold). Practicing this can unlock new sources of vitality and a better quality of life.That’s a bit about me—come to my workshops to find out more! ;-)
