In her research and artistic practice, Alisa bridges the scientific and ceremonial realms by exploring the role that ancient cosmologies and practices play in postmodern times. She studied and worked in academia in Mexico and Germany, focusing primarily on Cultural and Latin American Studies as well as History. For over a decade she has been building bridges between cultures, bringing wisdom carriers from diverse lineages into dialogue with contemporary audiences across Europe.

Her work unfolds through a return to earth-based ways of knowing, as something that moves through the body. This very place where the retreat takes place has been part of that inner movement for years, a site of listening, reorientation, and attunement for her personally. This time, others are invited into it. 🌿

Anne is local to this forest and knows these lands in a way that only comes from long relationship. She will be cooking for us during the retreat, bringing together organic, seasonal, and regional ingredients.

Her work moves across many fields. She cooks in the tradition of macrobiotic cuisine, works with acupuncture and herbal therapy, and is trained as an osteopath. Her path is deeply informed by principles of Deep Ecology, having studied with Joanna Macy. She also holds a Master’s degree in Sustainability Economics.

Together with Bernhard, Anne is a guardian of this place, in loving devotion to the land and all that moves through it.
