A Mindful journey of living and learning Who am I? What am I doing here? And how am I doing it? When we have comprehensive answers to such questions, then we will gain enlightenment to source systemically valid solutions for our problems. Our greatest doorway to evolvement is our re-connection with nature, and the complex, individual, beautiful creations that we are. [Foreword] Shortly after the completion of my high-school studies in Munich/ Germany, my curious adventurous inner self was longing a place far, far away from what I knew as home. An exciting, short-lived 24-hour flight connection through the earth's atmosphere brought be Down Under to the other side of the world - the sunny, wild, yet magical Australia. My contiunal journey has been enriched by the most diverse humans, cultures, and spontaneous worldly interactions. Human crossings given at different times and spaces allowed unique gathering of personal stories, wisdom and experiences which highlighted the essentials and beauty of life worth living. Not only did I start to comprehend mindfullness and transcience on a much deeper level, but the journey also opened my eyes and ears for many individuals from different walks of life. Beyond that I would like to share discoveries of pristine nature reserves along the coast as well as inland, that enabled a path towards inner wellbeing, acceptance as well as intensified personal self-discovery through minimal societal doctrinarian inputs. With such short and sweet wordy introduction, I would like you to join me along my 16052km south-east picturesque journey to a destiny of no judgement, no labeling and no comparison. Allow me to remind you of your innate knowing and available access to internal harmony, peace and kindness for the benefit of your mental, physical and spiritual learning that guide each and every one of us through >>Ithaka<<. Every one has a story to tell you just need to listen. ITHAKA - A mindful journey of living and learning.
