About Amber

Aeden portret

Hi! My name is Amber. I am a young woman with a passion for bringing forth a New Earth. 

This dream has been with me since childhood. I would look around me and wonder: ‘Is there something wrong with me, or has the world gone nuts?’

I saw adults struggling through life, weighed down by their worries, their eyes missing that presence and spark. Around that same time, I was learning about the climate crisis and the state of the world. ‘ Why would you live like this? Why can’ t everything just be.. good?’ I wondered. But not many years later, like so many others, I found myself caught in the same patterns. I wore a mask, forcing myself, trying to hold all balls up in the air. I was surviving rather than living and ended in a very deep, dark place.

‘Sometimes, the suffering is so intense, that I do not see another choice than to turn around and face it’ I said in one of my therapy sessions. I was sixteen, forced to  drop out of high school, struggling deeply and didn’t feel like living anymore. Yet, in the middle of that darkness, started my path towards the light. It started with one very simple, not easy choice: I want to be free.

That decision set me on a years-long journey through studies, books, therapies and practices. Step by step I discovered that I didn’t need to be ‘fixed’; I began to understand what it truly means to heal and grow as a human being.

Along this path, I started to make deep connections between ancient wisdom, modern science, yoga, therapy and other practices. 

And deep, in the core of all these approaches, one principles was shared: the release of inner resistance to come back into our authentic state of being.

I had found a new way:  

  A way back home. 

Out of the darkness and pain of my youth was born a tremendous gift: the heartfelt desire to inspire a new way of living and to help others who feel called to walk this path too. This path begins with an intention, which for me was: to be free, followed by the question: free from what? 

Often, I think back to that little girl who wondered: ‘Is there something wrong with me, or has the world gone nuts?’ I can now see and understand that there is nothing wrong with the individual, nothing wrong with you. We just have internalised our environment: a society build upon survival patterns: away from our nature, out of contact with Nature. We are in a way of moving from fear and survival patterns, instead of Love and authenticity.

I believe that we can transform this world by moving and Being differently.

A change that begins with the questions: How Are You? Who Are you really? How do you move ? How do you want to move?

You have that freedom within you.

Because, beautiful soul, deep down, you are already everything you seek.

The problem is global, the solution is local, the change is personal.
