About Me
Work with me
With a passion for transformation of personal and organisational level, I have led many projects to success. My approch is process-oriented, participative - and always human-centered. As a facilitator, community builder and founder in the regnerative tourism space, I love to collaborate with people, who feel aligned with my work, to accelerate our impact. ​​
A Special Journey
Each one of our experiences starts with a purpose and is individually designed to provide the highest possible benefit for the group. We do so by evaluating your needs and requirements and collaborate with professionals and locals to make the experience extra valuable.
​
We invite all participants to actively co-create with us and share their knowledge and skills.

Agile Lab at Tertulia Coliving
For the first time, we hosted a team retreat!
A group of eight colleagues from Agile Lab, who work remotely and had never met in person, spent a week together here in Tertulia. They worked from the coworking room or outdoor desks, enjoyed walks right from the doorstep, and tasted the delicious meals lovingly prepared by Valeria, our neighbor who dreams of opening a home restaurant.
In the evenings, they experienced the joy of our shared kitchen designed for cooking together and got to meet local producers, discovering great food at fair prices. The experience went wonderfully, and we can’t wait to welcome new teams soon!
If you are looking for a location in nature to host a team building, retreat or group experience please get in touch or recommend us to others!

Coliving in Tertulia
in collaboration with Tertulia
March 2025 -December 2025
I partner with Tertulia Forest Coliving & Coworking to offer a unique coliving experience for Digital Nomads and Remote Workers in the Tuscan countryside. At Tertulia we love to share our passion for permaculture, fresh, local food and purposeful living. The regenerative coliving space is temporary home for a community of approx. 10 people. We have spacious private and shared rooms, all equipped with desks. The large communal kitchen is perfect for cooking together, there is a coworking, private offices and plenty of communal indoor and outdoor spaces.
Coliving Laboratory
in collaboration with Tertulia
01 - 31 August, 2024
We explored connections of the coliving community with the space and the farm, with the wider community and with the territory. We introduced permaculture principles and basic design tools to realise projects, like building with wood, and we hosted open community events.
The lab was a special cooperation between two coliving projects, AGAIA and Tertulia, who share the same values and combine their ideas, tools, experience and passions!​
Taste the Shift
Understanding Regeneration through the Language & Natural Wisdom of Food
Lucca, Tuscany - June 20 - 23, 2024
With Taste The Shift we designed a four-day regenerative retreat. It is an immersive and co-created journey focussed on Shifting Horizons in food. Nestled in an ancient Italian food region, we come together for a regenerative journey exploring the potential of food to heal soil, water, physical and mental health, communities, or in other words, life on earth. ​

We escaped to an idyllic seaside retreat just steps away from one of Italy's finest beaches. We embraced daily wellness practices in tranquil surroundings and immersed ourself in local traditions.

Coliving & Coworking Retreat
May 2023, Tuscany
Experience Focus: Mindfulness, Inspiration and Creativity
One-week coliving and coworking emerged in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We spent each day enriched by mindfulness practices, deep connection, healing and creative activities. The experience was shared with a diverse and purpose-driven community, an opportunity to develop new skills and exchange ideas. Next to everything we did, we found time to relax by the pool and walk in nature. In the evening we loved cooking together and to share dinners.
