Not Found

During my nearly eight years in Central and South America, I often found myself in this unpleasant situation:
‘You white people (the gringos) have destroyed our culture. Shame on you!’
And yes, I felt guilty, even though I had arrived on the scene—or rather, entered this world—several centuries later.

But one day I understood: We Europeans weren’t any better off. They had taken our druids from us, our ancestral trees, traditions, and our magic.
In Europe, they had simply done a very thorough job…
And now we Europeans, those of us who have the courage to do so, travel to the Americas to learn again from the tribes:
What it means to connect with Mother Earth. To hold a ceremony. To speak with trees, plants, and animals. To wander through the worlds.
To one day bring this deep connection back to our homeland! To help reawaken our own traditions, which await discovery in massive mountains, deep lakes, and ancient trees.

Just as the salmon, after years away, one day return to the source to spawn. Against the current and despite all dangers.

And so we, the Tribes—hand in hand & heart to heart—set out for the New World.

The Story of a Lionheart
I was born in Freiburg, in the magical Black Forest. After completing my studies in “Film & Media” in Stuttgart, I launched my “career” by making corporate and advertising films for Mercedes-Benz, BOSCH, and other companies. In the 1990s, I created the first corporate TV program for Daimler-Benz and founded a film and advertising agency in Stuttgart with two partners.

In 2015, I shot my feature film “The Big Black” and set off in 2015 with Tatjana, our then two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and two Chihuahuas in a motorhome through Europe and Western Russia.

From 2015 to 2019, I created the film trilogy “One planet. One family” and the trilogy “The Golden Tribe,” a cinematic guide through the process of awakening.

I am a certified psychological counselor (ALH) and served on the board of the German Federal Association for Burnout Prevention and Support (DBVB).
