Yoga, breathwork & dance and more


Thomas
Spaceholder
Thomas’ work as a spaceholder is built on one core question: How do we relate to the world, to others, and to ourselves? For over a decade, he has been training spaceholders, developing a unique, multidimensional approach that bridges deep academic insight with experiential, somatic practices. As a sociologist teaching pedagogy and psychology, Thomas brings a grounded, systemic understanding of human behavior to his spaces. This academic foundation is enriched by his artistic background as a movement teacher rooted in theater, circus, and capoeira, as well as his therapeutic training in Logotherapy, breathwork, and body-centered psychotherapy.
With 15 years of experience, his mission is to create warm, trustworthy, and safe circles where you feel fully welcome, seen, and acknowledged—just the way you are. Together, you will create a space woven for deep dives, inner processes, and deep, healing laughter. Whatever it takes!
Sometimes the magic of a festival triggers things that need a bit more privacy. If you are looking for a 1:1 deep dive, Thomas is also available for personal sessions outside the group setting, offering you a quiet, nurturing harbor for whatever wants to be integrated.
