Before I tell you more about Werise, I have to take you a little bit deeper into my life’s story. Since being a child, I had this awkward feeling whenever I was with other people. I felt like an alien that never belonged. I was liked by others, but there was a slight distance with almost everybody except for the people closest to me. I felt different. There was no echo in the world of how I perceived life. The joy and beauty I could see stood in contrast to the sense of “life is hardship” I found myself surrounded with. I’ll never forget that evening when I sat together with my sister, parents, and grandparents in the living room to watch the news and the first time I saw images of the rainforest’s destruction. My sister and I became vegetarian shortly after this when I was 11. This feeling of isolation was disrupted when I joined a social project in Bolivia right after high school. For one year, I spent my days with the kids living on the street, and my nights partying in the capital La Paz with my fellow volunteer friends. I founded a kind of social business fund for shoeshiners which supported more than 1.000 students getting an education for a higher job that operated for almost 15 years. Coming together with brilliant young people with a high social conscience and a hunger for life felt like coming home to me – on the opposite side of the globe. 

Fast forward more than 20 years, and I can recognize this as the pattern in my life. Overcoming my sense of not belonging, forming deep bonds with people around a shared purpose, and experiencing this overflow of energy together, is the blueprint for me to thrive.

My full understanding of this journey came to light when I discovered Tom Nixon’s “Work With Source.” If you’re on a creative-entrepreneurial journey, I wholeheartedly recommend reading his book and watching the two sessions I recorded with Tom. Werise is a Creative Field, and I‘m its Source. Yes, it‘s also a profit-generating business, but it‘s entirely informed by an underlying creative power that unfolds its next steps in a breath-like rhythm, rather than adhering to typical business strategies and tactics. If you want to learn more about it, give me a call, I love talking about this. 🙂

With Werise, I feel a deep calling to help incubate thriving initiatives that are driven by high-energy, positive and healthy relationships. That feel like coming home. If you feel alike, I love supporting you on your journey to break free from isolation, step into your power, find your message and carry it out into the world, no matter what. I believe in you, and together we become a force for the wellbeing of all.
