Hi, my name is Maxi.
Working with and among men has changed my life forever and I approach it with deep humility.
My work and my being are based on the values of truth, presence and love. I have been intensively studying Western and Eastern healing and contemplation theories for years, without being committed to a particular school or tradition.
I practiced under Richard Baker Roshi at the Zen Buddhist monastery Dharma Sangha in the Black Forest, practice QiGong and Zen meditation and draw inspiration from the men's organization Sacred Sons. Other influences of my work are based on the theories of Carl G. Jung, Robert L. Moore, Michael A. Singer, Paramahansa Yogananda and David Deida, among others.

things you need to know about me
I am not a healer or therapist.

I have no answers.
~I have questions. You carry the answers within you.
I know that I know nothing.
~I am a seeker of truth and am constantly learning.

things I believe to be true and important
The way to heaven is down.
~Having both feet on the ground - physically, mentally, spiritually and metaphorically - is way more important than transcendence.
Darkness is light in disguise.
~The fact that we experience darkness doesn’t mean that the sun isn’t shining. We simply got the blinds down. My intention with any sort of this work is to help myself and others to facilitate the illumination of the darkness to the point of alchemy and expansion out of apparent misery and suffering.
The mind is great at creating problems. Not fixing them.
~Just like Einstein said, “no problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” - much of healing and integration happens outside of the mind and (mostly) in the body. It is my job to safely guide you there.
Commitment equals freedom.
~Contrary to common belief, I am convinced that 100% commitment to anything in life (relationships, work, craft, etc.) is a prerequisite for freedom. Through commitment, we focus our awareness and energy on a chosen matter, enabling us to become creatively, energetically, and spiritually free in a self-initiated area of existence (instead of a given one). Additionally, I view commitment as a singular energy. You're either committed or you're not; 99% commitment equals 1% commitment.
Toxic Masculinity doesn’t exist.
~Are there unconscious men who cause hurt and pain? Absolutely. Is Masculinity toxic? Absolutely not. Masculinity - just like Femininity - is one of the most beautiful energies of our universe. And just like all energies, Masculinity comes with shadow aspects. These need to be looked at and integrated.
Words are important.
~Words carry energies. By speaking things into existence, we solidify not only the meaning but also the frequency of these words into reality. Therefore, if used unconsciously, the thoughts-words-actions spiral can lead us into great trouble. Choose your words wisely.
