Who we are

The genesis of this undertaking commenced, I suppose, at my birth. I was raised in a small German town, where I embraced the enchantment that enveloped me. A dragonfly by the river seemed like a fairy, and a discovered feather felt like a gift from the unseen world. I recall the forests, the river, the ruin atop the hill, and the vineyards cascading through the mountains. Strolling through the woods during a full moon was magical; I cherished the way the moonlight transformed it into a unique ambiance. One evening remains particularly vivid: the night I encountered a wolf.

The woods were tranquil and serene. During my walk, I observed a patch of flowers beneath a tree, which brought a smile to my face. I had recently learned how to craft a flower crown, and these blossoms seemed ideal for creating my own. I sat beneath the tree, selected the first flower, and utilized my fingernail to create an opening in the stem for the subsequent one. The atmosphere was exceptionally peaceful, yet I abruptly detected movement. Looking upward, I noticed a wolf gazing in my direction. We exchanged glances for a brief interval. I did not experience fear; instead, I felt profound peace… the entire experience felt remarkably surreal. I closed my eyes for a moment and continued with my flower crown. After a short time, I observed that he was no longer present.

As a child I experienced many such moments.

Through my life experiences, I have come to appreciate the significance of nurturing the inherent magic within oneself and trusting one's intuition, that internal compass guiding our path. I have also cultivated an understanding of the ego, those facets developed to navigate the complexities of this world. I have realized that the concepts of "less" and "more" are not always straightforward, and that abundance does not inherently equate to diminished worth. Furthermore, I have observed that adversity can contain elements of positivity, while moments of perceived prosperity may present unforeseen challenges. I acknowledge the coexistence of these dualities within me. It is my belief that individuals should not be constrained by their past, particularly when their soul and spirit seek transformation.

The name "Atman Shanti" manifested during a tranquil afternoon, while at home, feeling relaxed within my own energy. While seated on the couch, I believe I dozed off and upon awakening, the two words were firmly imprinted in my mind. They evoked tears, prompting the internal questions, "Why am I crying? What do these words even signify?"

I knew that those two words were meant to be the name of our business. I did not feel the need to search for their meaning….it all just felt right in my heart.

Eventually I did learn Atman Shanti came from one of the oldest known languages, Sanskrit…. and all just aligned.

I have dedicated my journey to spirituality, embracing continuous learning, unlearning, and relearning. I acknowledge that my path will encompass periods of growth and instances of stagnation. I am committed to embodying grace and honor in all my interactions and extending that positive energy to all those I encounter. While moments of passionate intensity may arise, these, too, are integral to my ongoing process of spiritual evolution..

We possess a profound understanding of how stellar alignments at the time and place of our birth influence and shape individuals. Consequently, we regard Human Design and Astrology as significant factors, functioning as a navigational system or beacon to illuminate our journey through human existence. Cultivating a more comprehensive self-awareness is of paramount importance, and I am content to share my personal design, as it serves to unlock potential avenues..
