If everything in life is (on some level) a metaphor, then this place of our first encounter was somewhat indicative of the direction our lives together would take. Elementary nourishment and the abundant ingredients (both earthly and cosmically) seem to have magically followed us on your journey onward.

At the time we met, we were both deeply immersed in self-development, diving happily into the richness the Bay Area had to offer in the field of transpersonal psychology, Chinese medicine, astrology, mindfulness, dreamwork, holographic breathwork, alternative ways of eating and living. We were both at in our individual lives where we are wide open, seeking high (planets) and low (our psychological shadow material). Our first date was naturally in a Zen bakery. The first conscious act of setting the tone of growth for our relationship building was to tell each other about the challenges and blessings of your childhoods and lives up to date. Our first trip out of town together landed us in Bolinas, a remote village North of San Francisco notorious for regularly dismantling road signs, so the locals could live in peace in their little hippy bubble. We had some amazing buckwheat pancakes in the local café there, collected shells and driftwood along the beach and later ended up in a hot tub on the Happy Cat Farm gazing at the constellations above. In retrospect it seems that those beginnings contained all the seeds that later branched out into our lives.   

Since then, the wheel of our live and our relationship has pivoted around the core values of cosmology, nature, personal growth, beauty, freedom, the sea, music, travelling, the woods, good food, the mountains. and naturally family, as live has gifted us with four beautiful (on all levels) children

Out of that core, our life unfolded through many layers into space and time. In California, we gave homebirths to two magical daughters, bought and renovated an old Victorian house in the Castro, SF, later moved to Norway, gave homebirths to two magical sons, bought an country priest´s home from 1750, dismantled and rebuild in the woods close to the Oslo fjord (we always need to have the ocean close by), tried our best to give our children a framework free and firm enough so they could become themselves, grew our garden, house.

Later we created our Academy for Human Potential Development here in the woods, training and teaching many wonderful and potential-ful human beings on their paths to becoming their Selves. 

Now, all children-birds flown out of the nest, we felt the next logical vocational step would be to create a platform where we tie all of our tools insights we have collected over time in the areas we love, that constitute the core of our value system, in the hope to contribute to the collective evolution of human potential.
