About

Why we exist

I founded these associations to give my work a suitable framework. My aim is to make health prevention easier to access: through a clear understanding of healthy living and eating, and through the Yin-Yang principle as a tool for recognising situations and judging them independently.

The Yin-Yang principle does not judge. It knows no good or bad, no right or wrong, but orders things by qualities such as warm and cold, expanding and contracting. That is exactly why it strengthens independence and the ability to make decisions, without dogma. I am convinced that everyone has the right to a self-determined life in which they take responsibility for themselves. Our courses are meant to contribute to that.

The associations see themselves as a platform for healthy living, personal development, encounter and exchange between people, nations and cultures in Europe. For more than ten years I saw in my seminar centre in France how well this approach is received. A similar centre in Portugal remains my long-term goal. Until then, the associations carry this work forward.

I am grateful that Erasmus+ makes this work possible. The programme creates a network through which people with fewer opportunities in particular gain access to learning and support.
