Conscious festival organiser looking for conscious/liberal WG in Berlin :)

WHO AM I

I’m an easygoing people person (ENFP) that enjoys sharing a laugh and more meaningful conversation. I try to live consciously with an open mind. I enjoy yoga and boxing, meditation and kink, mantra singing and techno. You may find me contact dancing at an ecstatic dance or half naked on stage in the KitKat Club. 

I love exposing myself to non-Western cultures and feel lucky to have traveled to diverse countries like Iran, Madagascar, Columbia, North-Korea and Taiwan. In relation to my gender I’m learning to let go of what gender norms prescribe and simply do what I want. This means that I’ll wear a dress if I feel like it, for example.

I’m in a wonderful (open) relationship with Hannah, whom I met early 2019 at a storytelling course in my birth town Amsterdam. I speak a decent amount of German and would enjoy being surrounding by some native speakers, so I can improve.

HOW I SPEND MY TIME

After spending ten years working on Internet startups and running two coworking spaces, I turned things around two years ago and created Nibana Festival.

Nibana is a conscious extravagant festival that offers workshops related to dance and movement, creativity, the body, conscious sexualiy, self exploration, and community. We live by seven principles and we communicate openly. Our mission is to create a shared experience where everyone can be their most authentic self.

In these Corona times, I’ve been learning to play the guitar and am writing a book about authenticity. I interview people about moments in their life where they did things exactly the way they want to do them. I turn these interviews into little stories and hope to inspire people to live life in a way that works for them.

MY PERFECT WG

I’m looking for an inspiring WG with a balanced mix between communal living and personal space. I imagine a group of five or more people - mixed genders and LGBTQIA friendly - living together as friends and being (somewhat) invested in each other’s lives. There would be a spacious shared living room, ideally without a TV on all the time, and I’d have a bedroom of 20+ meters, where I can play music without disturbing my roommates. We're on the extroverted side of the spectrum. Besides moments where we’re by ourselves, I imagine moments of chatting in the kitchen while cooking together, dancing in the living room, going to the park, to a club or to workshops together, a house sharing or meditation circle or everyone inviting some friends over for a communal lunch. We communicate openly and deal with small issues quickly, so they don’t turn into frustrations. 

I’m very excited about the idea of finding a WG that matches this idea to some degree. If you live in such a place or know people who do, I’d love to hear from you! Even if it would be only temporary or if there’s no availability right now. If you’d like to meet up for a chat, also feel free to send me a message. I’m always happy to expand my social network here in Berlin.
