RECOMMENDATIONS
My work with wood and all my creative work do not stand alone. They are nourished by people and visions that teach me to look deeper, work slower, and embody my own truth.
The following links lead to projects that have particularly inspired, enriched, and advanced me along the way. I share them here with full appreciation for their integrity. They are companions for making inner dignity visible and crowning one's own being.
Thanks!!!

Crown Yourself by Dakini Agency
The embodiment of one's own splendor
At the heart of her work is Crown-Yourself, the creation of magnificent, handcrafted, unique bonnet pieces. These „crowns“ are far more than headgear; they are sculptural symbols that carry the royal essence and deep integrity of the wearer to the outside. This artistic work is complemented by the Dakini Agency, through which it supports pioneers in realizing their visions on an ethical and truthful foundation. Josephine Seeger inspires you to take your place in the world with pride, beauty and uncompromising authenticity.
Oracle Girl
The journey back to yourself:
Jacqueline Hobbs accompanies you as you throw off all the baggage and strange voices that do not belong to you. It is a very personal process of „unlearning“ to fully return to one's inner truth and feel the freedom that comes from no longer having to play a role.
Elaira Flow
Soft Power & strong presence:
Elaira accompanies pioneers to unleash their „soft power“ and build the inner capacity for true greatness. Their work is an invitation to redefine leadership and success beyond pressure. Rooted in deep self-connection and the sacred order of life.
Sun Beings
Sharing Our World:
Sunbeings is far more than an ordinary information site; it is a global platform and compass for people who are in a time of deep change. Founded by Carina Ramm and Kate Priestley, the project sees itself as a "gift" to the world, offering guidance and setting new frequencies of togetherness.
Takashi Kobayashi
Understanding the whispers of the trees:
For Takashi Kobayashi, a treehouse is not just a wooden structure, but an invitation to become one with nature again. Kobayashi does not build foreign bodies into the crowns; he allows himself to be guided by the tree and creates retreats that grow almost organically with the living trunk. He is concerned with the deep humility before nature and the moment when one comes to rest between earth and heaven and realizes that we humans are part of a much larger whole.
Tad Hargrave
Marketing with a clear conscience:
Tad Hargrave shows that you can make your passion project successful without selling your soul. He breaks with classic „print marketing“ and replaces it with radical honesty and empathy. For him, it's about finding the right people instead of forcing something on everyone. It's the relief that comes when business suddenly no longer feels like a struggle, but like an honest craft that truly serves others.
Shi Heng Yi
Mastery over one's own self:
For Shi Heng Yi, the body is the gateway to the mind. Shi Heng Yi shows that true strength comes not from fighting, but from the discipline of overcoming one's own shadows and resistance. It's about the balance between calm and strength. Applying the "Shaolin principle" in everyday life to become not only physically fit but unshakable at heart. It is the feeling of deep clarity that comes when you stop making excuses and start taking full responsibility for your life.
Mr.Chickadee
The silence of the craft:
Josh Stevens embodies the return to absolute deceleration. With him there are no loud machines, only the rhythm of axe, saw and plane. It is the deep dedication to the process itself. The knowledge that quality takes time and that a workpiece gets a soul when each chip has been removed with its own muscle power. His approach teaches us that you don't have to make a lot of noise to create something lasting and beautiful; it's enough to be one with your tools and the wood.
Norm Sartorius
The soul in sculpture:
Norm Sartorius transforms rare woods into flowing, organic spoon sculptures. His work is an in-depth exploration of form and texture, translating the original energy of wood into a consummate aesthetic. He teaches us that a spoon can be far more than a tool. He is a poetic object that dissolves the boundaries between nature, craft and art
Tree - Nation
Greening the earth again:
Tree-Nation is a global platform that allows you to balance your ecological footprint by planting trees worldwide. It is a project that shows how technology and nature can go hand in hand to protect and regenerate the forests of our Earth. For me, it is a matter close to my heart to give back to nature some of the inspiration and material it gives us every day.
Dylan Iwakuni
The silence of perfection:
Dylan Iwakuni is a master of traditional Japanese carpentry (daiku). His work celebrates the invisible: highly complex wooden joints that do not require a single nail and last for generations. He teaches us that true mastery lies in absolute dedication to detail and deep respect for the soul of wood. A work that shows how technical precision becomes a meditative art form.
Ownworld
Klemens Jakob
Visionary of Autarky:
Klemens Jakob is a pioneer for a life of personal responsibility and harmony with nature. In his „OwnWorld“ work, he combines masterful craftsmanship with knowledge of permaculture and self-sufficient living systems. He inspires us to shape our own livelihoods and shows in practical, deep-rooted ways how we find our true power and independence through real skill and ecological intelligence.
