This gives me new energy

Swimming, hiking, Yin Yoga, meditation, reading, museums.

Why?

Because it brings me calm and that creates space for new energy.

This is where I find inspiration

A blank sheet of paper, a pencil, and simply starting to write or sketch… letting things flow. With nostalgic music in the background.

Why?

Because being busy: drawing, writing, putting what’s in your head onto paper, always opens something new. Creating leads to creation, beautiful or not… it gives you space to stop thinking so much for a moment.

My place to recharge

In the forest, in every season. In the water. At home.

Why?

Calm. Green, red, orange. Colours. Life. Nature. Grounding. Freedom. Breathing space. Silence. Letting go.

My favourite season

Winter.

Why?

The cold brings new energy. I love the snow, all the holidays in December, and most of all Christmas. The early darkness, the calm of the morning when everyone is still asleep. And warm drinks with cinnamon and cacao! Thick winter sweaters, cosy socks, pyjamas, candles. Warm and snug.
