Ich fühle mich in letzter Zeit wieder abenteuerlu

Ich fühle mich in letzter Zeit wieder abenteuerlustiger! Dieser Sprung steht exemplarisch dafür. Es ist definitiv mein Lieblingsheimatsprung, was proximity fliegen angeht. Ich war aber nicht immer so abenteuerlustig in den letzten Jahren.

Je älter ich werde, desto träger werde ich. Meine Träume verblassen und schwimmen in einem trüben Teich mit ihren Kollegen. Hin und wieder sehe ich den ein oder anderen hindurchblitzen, aber ehe ich mich bereit gemacht habe sie zu angeln, holt mich die Routine mit ihren Gewohnheiten wieder ein. Veränderung ist schwierig. Wenn man schon lange den selben Pfad ausgetreten hat, scheint der von Sträuchern zugewachsene Weg nicht sehr attraktiv.

Ich hab mir in der Vergangenheit immer Mühe gegeben nicht auf der Stelle zu treten und mich nicht von meinen Ängsten zurückhalten zu lassen. In den letzten Jahren haben mich einige Herausforderungen aber wohl eher gelähmt statt angetrieben. Ich bin an der Weggabelung stehen geblieben aus Angst in die falsche Richtung zu gehen. Es ist ein andauernder Prozess wieder die ersten Schritte in die richtige Richtung zu wagen. Die ersten Schritte hin zu meinen Träumen und raus aus der Gleichgültigkeit. Ich fühle mich langsam aber sicher wieder abenteuerlustiger und bereit mutige Entscheidungen zu fällen. Anstatt zu erstarren aus Angst das falsche Leben zu leben, möchte ich lieber in Kauf nehmen leidenschaftlich auf die Nase fallen.

Die Innenschau in den letzten Jahren hat mit Sicherheit dazu beigetragen, dass sich der Schmutz absetzt und der Teich sich allmählich wieder klärt. Mit einem ungetrübteren Geist fällen sich Entscheidungen leichter und auch die vermeintlich falsche Abzweigung kann sich als verpuppte Schönheit entlarven. Am Ende sind die Träume vielleicht mehr wie die Karotte die dem Esel vor den Kopf gehalten wird. Sie erinnern uns daran nicht stehen zu bleiben, auch wenn wir nicht wissen, wo es letztendlich hingeht und ob wir das Ziel tatsächlich jemals erreichen.

Letzten Herbst war ich bei einem Dreh zum Thema Mu

Letzten Herbst war ich bei einem Dreh zum Thema Mut für das ZDF dabei und das Ergebnis ist mittlerweile online. Ich freu mich darüber ein wenig von meiner Sichtweise mit der Welt teilen zu dürfen. Es war ein aufregender Drehtag, da man nicht oft die Möglichkeit hat eine Botschaft mit einem größeren Publikum zu teilen und ich mit sehr vielen Fragen bombardiert wurde. Nur ein Bruchteil davon ist im finalen Video gelandet. Mir war es wichtig auch in diesem ungewohnten Szenario mir selbst treu zu bleiben, mich nicht zu verstecken und auch zu meinen Schwächen zu stehen und vielleicht die ein oder andere Person zu motivieren sich ein wenig mehr mit sich und ihren Gefühlen zu befassen.
Ich denke das ist mir ein Stück weit gelungen und ich hoffe auch in Zukunft Leute motivieren zu können mutiger zu sein und liebevoller sich selbst und ihrer Umwelt gegenüber zu werden.

Die Sendung kommt am 28.4 um 18:30 im ZDF. Ansonsten auch jetzt schon in der Mediathek zu finden!

I really have been enjoying playing with fire late

I really have been enjoying playing with fire lately. There are several aspects to it that intrigue me.
One thing is for sure the power of the fire itself. You can feel the heat on your skin, you're blinded by it and can barely see anything else anymore, it has this ever changing shape and it even makes quite some noise as well. So it tickles a lot of your senses.
But the other part is how interesting it can be to play in front of an audience. There is this beautiful feedback I get that turns this seemingly senseless hobby into a source of joy for others and myself.
And finally: I usually improvise a lot. So neither the audience nor I know, what is going to happen. Sometimes I do tricks for the first time, inspired by the audience. I like to think of it as some sort of magic. By letting go I can create things unimaginable to others and sometimes even myself. And hopefully push the door open a bit to make the magic of life more visible. 🪄

Ich möchte einen neuen Raum der emotionalen Begeg

Ich möchte einen neuen Raum der emotionalen Begegnung schaffen. Ich bin der festen Überzeugung, dass es uns gut tut uns mit unseren Gefühlen auseinanderzusetzen, es uns aber leider teilweise schwer fällt, diese bewusst wahrzunehmen und richtig in Worte zu fassen. Manchmal schämen wir uns für unsere Empfindungen, sind überwältigt oder wissen nicht, wem wir uns überhaupt damit anvertrauen könnten. Ich will, dass wir lernen diese Hemmungen abzubauen und mehr Tiefgang in unser Leben einkehren lassen. Für mich gehören tiefe emotionale Unterhaltungen zu den wahrhaftigsten Erfahrungen des Lebens und können unheimlich bereichernd und befreiend sein. Mein Ziel ist es, einen Raum der Offenheit, Akzeptanz und Vertrautheit bereitzustellen, in dem Menschen in Verbindung treten können und dabei gemeinsam ihre emotionale Komfortzone erweitern können und Vorurteile abbauen. Es ist mir ein Anliegen, dass sich auch gerade diejenigen Leute eingeladen fühlen, die sich selbst vielleicht als abgestumpft oder gefühlsarm betrachten. Jeder Mensch ist wertvoll und jeder ist willkommen!

Bei Fragen bitte gerne an mich wenden! Eine Voranmeldung hilft mir, die Teilnehmerzahl abzuschätzen, aber ist nicht zwangsläufig notwendig!

I‘m a psycho-spiritual integration coach now 🤯
But what does that mean? In the last couple of years, I have undergone a transformation that has been difficult and sometimes hard to understand. Being unsatisfied with what our society sees as proper life goals (e.g. money & reputation) and slowly running out of meaningful life goals of my own, I had to contemplate deeper. I studied philosophy, I read a lot of books, started meditating and I realized that what I was looking for was a deeper spiritual meaning in my life. Religions used to give the people a structure that anchored them inside of a belief system. In our individualized culture, religions seem too dogmatic and often times cannot satisfy our individualized needs anymore. I strongly belief that we do need some sort of metaphysical home though.
Working with entheogens (like LSD, Psilocybin, Ayahuasca) we can take a different glance at our own existence and see ourselves in a different light (as I described in my last post). The work of the integration coach is, to help people make sense of their entheogenic experience and integrate the new insights into their daily life. This is a highly individual process and a powerful way of healing (subconscious) wounds. By cultivating our mind we can learn to feed the ideas that serve us and let go of the ones that do us harm.
What I want to offer to other people as a coach is to guide them to find their own stability and anchor within themselves (with or without entheogens), free of judgment and open to the wonders of our human experience. Reconnecting with our true selves to live more aligned with our values and vision for our lives. We can free ourselves of our burdens, if we dare to do so. Let me encourage you to be brave. The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek!

This winter I was lucky to spend three weeks in the Ecuadorian Amazon rain forest with a medicine tribe. I took part in a handful of sacred ceremonies with the plant medicine Ayahuasca. It was the most intense time of my life. It was very emotional and super transformational. I was confronted with the piled up emotions of my lifetime, which I wasn’t able to process in my daily life. Leading up to this I was fighting with depressive episodes every once in a while. I was feeling numb and goalless. Ayahuasca, the inspiring shamans and the integration coach helped me to break through this numbness and experience what was underneath. I was scared as I have never been scared before in my life, my concept of how the world works was shattered into pieces and yet at the same time I have felt a divine love, a deep connection and a willingness to give something back to other people like never before. I was able to reconnect to an inner vision for my future and I’m more willing than ever to reinvent myself. I’m aware, that this topic might challenge some people, because it has a spiritual dimension to it, which will never sufficiently be explainable through words. It also uses substances that have a bad reputation from our western point of view. But I can promise you that there’s an unimaginable beauty to discover, if you manage to let go of your prejudices and keep on opening your mind. 🌸

And I mean: look at that plant and tell me that life isn't magical 😁

What's your purpose in life? I had times in my life when this question could drive me nuts. When it's all so pointless, why would you even bother getting out of bed? So many problems in the world and I rather contributed to them than I was solving them. How to get out of this spiral of negative thought can be really challenging and getting help can make a huge difference. We live in a society where many of us are metaphysically homeless. And at the same time there is this innate drive to ask metaphysical questions about purpose, life and death. Are you metaphysically homeless or grounded?

About the jump: From cima piccola southward along the wall of cima grande. Short but beautiful. Next time all the way down to val marzon. Thanks to Helena for climbing to the top with me and also to the rest of the crew 🫶

This jump was a celebration of life! A beautiful hike through the wild mountain forest followed by walking in the gorge between majestic vertical rock pillars at dusk with the moon coming out. And then the next day drawing my wingsuit line through this incredible landscape, using it as my personal playing field!
The jumps before were building up perfectly for it. I got back into hiking mode having my perseverance back to feel good with the 2000m of altitude approach. I was paying close attention to the weather forecasts and how much clouds were building up at what time of the day (the mountain is literally called thunder rock (croda dei toni) in Italian). I got to check out how many things I'll need in the current conditions and how I can fit them in my wingsuit. I was climbing in similar terrain the weeks before and got a feeling for the difficulty of the climb. I brought a short rope so I could rappel down difficult sections if I had to go down again. I had a bivy sack so I could endure a thunderstorm. I have the experience of finding the easiest way on a mountain with little way signs. I was mentally present for the whole climb and flight. It felt safe to be alone. And I felt safe even though there would have been so many moments where a little mistake would have meant death. But I felt ready for this jump!
But how do we really know whether we're safe and making the right decision? My answer has been to go inward. It seems like every time something went wrong in my BASE jumping career I could have known before. I was rushing it, not listening to the warning signs. I'm doing what I can now to follow my heart on this journey. I think you will never be 100% safe, but you can become present and learn to appreciate the beauty of each moment until it's over... if it is ever really over 🔮😁

About the jump: Croda Antonio Berti / Mittlerer Zwölfer (~3000m) to Val Marzon (~1000m). There is the bivacco di Toni at 2500m, which helped to be early and rested for the climb. The climb is a III+/IV- if you manage to stay on route (I didn't in the end).

Searching for new jumps can be a never ending task

Searching for new jumps can be a never ending task and sometimes I wonder what drives me. Doing lots of solo missions can be exciting. I only have to decide for myself. No responsibility for other people when I'm scouting new jumps, getting lost or when I'm doing some sketchy climbing. But it can become lonely as well and I'm bored of feeling lonely. What gives me hope is that I can inspire others to follow their dreams and grow beyond what they imagined was possible. You're free to choose how to live your life. So please: FREE YOUR MIND 🙏

About the jump: from Spalla Est of Monte Pelmo along the ridge line to the forest. Quite a lot of hiking and quite a full wingsuit on the flight down 😄

🎶 "Dreams will fly by if you don't set yourself free from all the things you've been through" 🎶
Following my dreams hasn't always been easy. I had a time in my life where I wasn't able to believe in my dreams at all anymore. Overwhelmed by possibilities and depressed by missed opportunities. It takes courage and faith to go into the unknown. And it can feel magnificent when you do it and reach your proper path again. Sometimes you might have to reinvent yourself. I know I'll never be the best wingsuit pilot out there, since I'm not practicing for it. But I can learn to be grateful for every experience this crazy hobby has brought into my life. And one day, this might also pass and make space for the next hobby. Life is constantly changing and so are you. Practicing awareness to these changes is what shall keep me alive. So I can dream big for the future to come 🙌

Super hot day today for this new jump next to the tre cime. Landing in the valley marzon was a bit intimidating, with power lines to the left and right. But I like discovering these hidden places through wingsuiting. Otherwise I'm pretty sure I would never have gone there.

First time I did a bivouac wingsuit adventure. Thanks to Kilian for the idea and @ben_fly01 for flying my sleeping bag and mat down the mountain.
It was really great to spend the night up there. A bit cold, but a beautiful view of the night sky, including a shooting star and some Starlink satellites 😄 Gotta spend more nights out in the open...

Really enjoying getting to discover new mountains, a new wingsuit and a more conscious approach to the sport. Instead of stressing myself hiking up to the higher exit, I rather focused on appreciating the lower jump with the certainty of making a good decision and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Can't wait to come back and check out the other opportunities. 😊

Had a good creative day today. Lots of flow and new movements. Also some really nice encounters with people passing by. It's a great inspiration to feel the positive feedback of other people. So remember: let people know, when you like something about them 🤓☝️

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently did a two-jump-mission and this was the second jump of the day. It's a really nice jump along the south face of the ridge. The only downside is the neverending hike back out of the valley 😅
After hiking for around 3 hours I was finally back to civilization.
Thanks to @bjoern_herrmann who picked me up along the way back to my van! So there was still some time left to grab a pizza before the restaurants closed. 👌

Last week I finally opened a new jump which I had already tried to find three years ago. Back then I walked past the exit and ended up much further down the ridge for a completely different jump. This time I was surprised, that it was just a 20 minute hike from the cable car. The final approach was through lots of loose rocks though. The jump itself turned out really nice. I knew it had potential, but I didn't expect such great terrain line! 🤯
And that was just the first part of the day. After landing in the valley I packed my parachute again and started hiking to another exit for a second jump into another valley...

Two years ago was the first time I thought about jumping from Antelao, the second highest mountain of the dolomites. It was just an idea and I wasn't sure at all whether it would be possible. When I hiked up back then, I had to turn around early, because of a head ache. Last week, I finally managed to go to the top, together with my girlfriend and was surprised to find a nice exit point just next to the peak. So the day after, I decided to go up again with my wingsuit to fly down. I had been watching the winds and the clouds for a while and was hoping for good conditions in the evening. When I reached the top after a 4 1/2 hour hike in the afternoon sun, the exit was in clouds. It was a beautiful view, but the thought, that I might have to hike down again in the dark was rather unpleasant. It's a serious alpine hike with loose rocks everywhere. In the end, I was lucky to catch a short window with less clouds, to fly back to the valley. It was the biggest jump altitude wise (over 2200m from exit to landing) that I have opened so far.

Thanks go out to @nicky_nilaya_yoga for being so supportive and to Luciano, who saw me land and drove me back to my car. 🙏
May the gorgonzola we eat fuel our dreams!

No fancy take away message on this one, just a long flight from start to landing. Still one of my favorite jumps among the ones I opened.
