Bio

Originally from Brussels, Belgium, I currently reside in Central Portugal at Quinta da Mizarela - the Awakened Life Project Ashram - where together with my teacher and fellow residents I strive to create a new culture based on trust in the recognition of Prior Freedom and Unity.

My insatiable curiosity led me to studying philosophy and electronic music production. I travelled a lot, I sat in a long meditation retreats, I experimented with psychedelics. I read about pretty much everything I could find. I worked as a model, as a fundraiser, as barman, as a restaurant manager.
Despite many attempts, I couldn't fit in. I was desperate.
I was thirsty and intuited that there was more to life than the the consensus reality had to offer yet I was disoriented and felt short on perseverance.

The lack of strong male models in my life contributed to my difficulty in getting in touch with a sense of purpose. I felt maladapted, disembodied and fundamentally unhappy while developing the perfidious strategies of being nice with everyone to seek love and acceptance in a desperate gesture. In the process I denied my natural integrity, strength and sense of true purpose and developed an over sensitivity that denied my true nature as a man.



In 2017 I became part of the Men's Collective. In learning how to be vulnerable with other men whose primary passion is Freedom here and now, my heart blew open and my ideas about Spirituality were shattered. I realised that the frenetic piling up of experiences I was into was a way of seeking relief from the complexities of life and that embracing the pain and complexity of it is in fact where true Spiritual maturity lies.

I realised that most of my struggles such as being nice, been cut-off from the Life force, lacking direction and purpose, were not personal but the fate of most postmodern Sensitive Nice Guys. Being part of the Collective has enabled me to embrace the process of "descent" to land in my body and thus to embrace my masculine essence.

Today as a senior resident at the Ashram of the Awakened Life Project I happily give myself to this ever learning process made of struggles and breakthroughs. I nurture a growing passion to work with men to help them break though their limiting conditionings and believes such as not being good enough or not being loveable. Thus I assist men in embracing and embodying their natural self-confidence, integrity and one-pointedness.
    Made on
