I am a facilitator, processwork therapist and experience designer based in Austria.
For more than twenty years, I have been working with individuals and groups in the field of grief, transition and collective experience.
My path into this work began with a deep interest in how we move through loss — and what becomes possible when we do not do this alone.

An early influence was the work of Yorgos Canacakis, which opened a field that has stayed with me ever since. Over time, I continued this exploration in my own way —
studying mourning traditions, particularly in the Balkan region,
and asking what forms of collective grieving might still be possible in our context today.

What has become increasingly clear to me is that grief is not only an individual experience. It unfolds in relationship — and meaningful spaces for this are largely missing.
My work is an attempt to create such spaces. Spaces that are structured and held, while allowing for depth, vulnerability and what wants to emerge.

I do not see grief as something to be fixed.
I understand it as a human capacity — one that can be developed and strengthened when the right conditions are present.
Over time, I have developed my own way of working, integrating different influences and approaches into a practice that is both grounded and responsive.
What matters to me is to create a space where people can meet what is present in their lives — with honesty, depth and support.

I am an independent funeral celebrant based in the Czech Republic. For years, I have been working with individuals and communities in the field of death, farewell and life's deeper transitions. My path into this work began with a fascination for ritual — for what becomes possible when we mark a threshold together, with intention and care.
An early influence was my study of applied psychotherapy and innovation in social work, which gave me a language for what I had long sensed: that ceremonies are not decoration. They are how we make meaning. Over time, I have extended this exploration beyond the funeral context — into the wider territory of life transitions, and the question of what meaningful ceremony might look like in our world today.
What has become increasingly clear to me is that grief and transition are not only personal experiences. They call for witnesses, for form, for held space. My work is an attempt to create exactly that — structure that allows depth, and presence that allows something real to emerge.
I do not see ceremony as performance. I understand it as a human need — one that, when met with the right conditions, can open something otherwise difficult to reach. I first encountered the Hosting Tears journey as a participant, and that experience has stayed with me. I now support it organisationally because I want others to be able to find what I found there — honesty, depth and accompaniment.
