Welcome to my blog. 

I´m a native Dane. English is only my second language, and I therefore apologize for eventual grammatical errors in my texts. 

About myself

I hold an MA in philosophy (University of Southern Denmark 1996-2001) and a minor in psychology (Aalborg University 2002-2005). In addition, I hold the Bardic Grade from The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, as well as from The British Druid Order (the latter has a slightly different approach).

I have practiced yoga and meditation since 1985 and have during this period discovered and conceptualized the concept Meditation as an Art of Life.

The discovery happened on the background of an awakening of kundalini, and the following years of spiritual crises.

After I realized that the crisis was a calling, and decided to drop out and devote myself completely to my worldwide vagabonding and photography, I finally found peace. 

Meditation as an Art of Life is first of all flowering from this primordial experience. Secondly it has been conceptualized and developed further through theoretical research. What I want to share, is my experiences of dangers and pitfalls on the spiritual path, as well as the solutions I have discovered due to distress. This resulted in the concept of Meditation as an Art of Life. In this I offer philosophical counseling.

My speciality is in that way guidance through spiritual crises.

I´m all in for bohemianism. I consider myself as a drop-out hermit in Rold Forest, Denmark, where I, as Bruce Chatwin said: “have a place to hang my hat”.

When not in Rold Forest, I spend my time vagabonding the world (see my article: My Life as a Vagabond).

On my Instagram profile you can follow my vagabonding and photography.

I like to refer to myself as a Philosophical Globetrotter, Life Artist, and Idler. I campaign against the work ethic (a religious, Protestant dogma, which capitalism is introducing worldwide, and which is making both people and environment sick) and promote freedom, autonomy and responsibility; in reality: the fine art of doing nothing. In this I take an anarchic approach to the everyday barriers that come between us and our dreams. So I´m in for spiritual anarchism, civil disobedience, and the right to be an idler and a drop-out (see my Links to Idlers and Drop-out Philosophies).
