BIOGRAPHY
Benjamin was born in South Korea in 1977. He lived from 1980-1981 as an orphan in Suwon and has been adopted from a german family in 1981. The experience to be separated from the family, friends and land of birth was the reason for his early interest in the philosophical question: Who am I?
In 1995 he had his first deep, spiritual insights, which he could understand more deeply many years after the happenings. Benjamin moved to Berlin in 2000 and started his own business as a creative project developer, film and advertising actor and minimal house DJ. In 2004, Benjamin began to study the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, Geshe Michael Roach and Hong Thay Lee. The Buddhist teachings and physical practice in chinese martial arts are the foundation in Benjamin's understanding of movement, philosophy, ethics and spirituality. In 2009 Benjamin started to heal his childhood trauma through buddhist psychology and diverse coaching methods. In the same year he decided to work consistently for ecological and social projects. He was co-founder of PAPPA E CICCIA (Organic Restaurant & Catering) and NEXT ORGANIC (Trade Fair for Organic and Slow Food Trends). As a creative and strategic consultant, Benjamin has accompanied the holistic festivals FOREVER NOW and AGAPE ZOE, the MERIDIAN UNIVERSITY, the movement teacher ROOTLESSROOT, and the start-ups SOMUCHMORE GMBH and KENKOU GMBH. Since 2013 Benjamin offers the integral movement training "Movement Play" and 2015 he started with the Integral Life Coaching. Based on his interdisciplinary research and practice, Benjamin has created a unique, transdisciplinary learning system that enables his students and clients to learn playfully and methodically. Since 2017 he offers the Integral Life Training to give students the opportunity to learn from him consistently and more deeply.
Today Benjamin believes, that his suffering in the childhood is the fertile soil of his compassion, happiness and volition to help others.
