I have been interested in meditation and Buddhism since I was very young, reading beat writers like Kerouac, Ginsberg and Miller. Their inspiration from Zen Buddhism in particular felt like a completely different, and much more alive, way of being in the world.
But I had to go through a life crisis before I really started meditating in 2015.
Since then, I have dedicated a large part of my life to practicing, studying and teaching meditation..
I have spent over six months in silence on meditation retreats around the world, including in Thailand, Sri Lanka, England, France, Scotland, Germany, Portugal and Denmark.
In addition, I have completed a one-year training as a mindfulness instructor from Mindfulness Training Institute in England, and an education like stress coach by Bjarne Toftegaard.
I have a Master of Arts in Journalism and Cultural Studies from RUC in 2011. Alongside my meditation, I have worked with and taught communication at the University of Copenhagen and the Danish Institute for International Studies for a number of years.
I am the son of a social worker and an artist. Both have helped shape my life. The social indignation has particularly found expression in my many years of work with international development work. I have mainly cultivated art through literature and as a guitarist with a penchant for jazz, blues and my own productions.
