European Summer
Before completing his studies in International Economics, he strove to find an integral and spiritual approach to academic organizational discourse. His diploma thesis and dissertation work to contribute to a complementary understanding of science, Shamanism, spirituality and organization. His research trips led him to the Shamans in Hawaii and the healers of the Shipibo Conibo culture in the Peruvian jungle.
He has worked for an international organization in France, the Austrian foreign trade office in Australia, the Deutsche Bank in Spain and the Knight's Hospitaler Emergency Care Unit in Germany. Since 2004, he has been working as an assistant at the University Parish Innsbruck, as advisor and councillor at "Native Spirit," and, at the same time, he is completing his second degree (in Law) and is an honorary legal adviser for asylum seekers.
On Waldzell 2005
At a very personal level, I gained hope, inspiration, strength, and most importantly, courage. Deep in our hearts all of us know the difference from good and bad, deep in our hearts we know what we should do - but still many forces seem to distract us form our real being. Not facing the challenge alone, travelling part of the way together is a good thing. Now, after the meeting each and every one of us has the possibility to show what can be done in everyday life. After the meeting, it took me almost a week to even partially realize what had happened at Melk Abbey. Every moment in everyday life is unique - but still I would say that the time at Melk Abbey has been a very special and intense one.
The most memorable moments have to do with the people I met. The most memorable moments were when people really met and really talked. I am talking about deep conversation.
Waldzell 2005 was a perfect setting for those moments. It is very hard to evaluate the value of a moment, but a very special one was when all the "Architects of the Future" met Paulo Coelho for the first time. What he did was to reflect our ways of thinking back onto ourselves. We had to think about essential things like who we are and what love is as well as about the reason we were here and what we expected Waldzell 2005 to be or to become. When we all said goodbye on the last evening in Vienna, I told Paulo Coelho that everything had a beginning and an end. First, he agreed, but finally - after a moment of silence - he told me that I was wrong. He said: "This is just the beginning."
