13th/14th of February, in the year of the Fire Goat, we’ll be welcoming three outstanding teachers to Berlin: Brian Duckers (UK), Elias Krzywacki (Norway), and Michael Schjerling (Denmark)!
All three are also dear friends of mine and have been part of my own journey, so I’m especially happy to have them here – even more so since I’d also like to use the seminar as an opportunity to celebrate my 50th birthday a little! 🙂
So, we’ll have two full days of top-class training, followed by a little celebration on Saturday evening.
