cueljs

We are self-healers and self-realizers who believe in the inherent power and authority within each of us, our grain of gold, serving as the very foundation for self-healing and self-realization.

We look into relics of childhood hurt, and uncover signs of unresolved emotions, all to trace what was severed in our childhood: the connection to our essence, our grain of gold.

The quest is about coming home to ourselves again.

We are committed to a path of healing, transformation, and self-actualization.

WE ARE THE CYCLE BREAKERS WITHIN OUR FAMILIES

We’ve come a long way from growing up in dysfunctional families. The fact that one of our brothers took his own life while the other struggled with ongoing mental health issues is symptomatic of the dysfunction and reflects the challenges we’ve faced.

We have become our own experts on how we were parented and have learned to identify the underlying patterns of perpetuated hurt and recycled unresolved issues. Through reflection and introspection, we have gained the necessary insights to break free from those destructive cycles and heal what was severed in our childhood: the connection to our essence, our grain of gold.

WE ARE OUR OWN MASTERS

Our spiritual journey began way back when we were kids. From a young age, we sensed a deep spiritual purpose guiding us.

We’ve dedicated decades to contemplation and study, searching for remedies to heal not only our own disconnection but also the pervasive sense of disconnect felt throughout the world.

Our paths led us to be part of the first long-term Buddhist retreats in the West. We meditated and practiced Vajrayana Buddhism for 8 and 10 years plus, respectively.

In 2017 and 2018, we left the institutionalized path to embrace a self-empowered, personalized spirituality, free from institutional constraints, carving out our own path.

We believe each of us is meant to be our own master eventually, as we already have what it takes to actualize it.

[Fun fact: We met on a Drupchen¹, a Tibetan Buddhist intensive retreat. And have been together since and married in 2017.]

While exploring the depths of the mind and the inner cosmos is our “dream job,” our purpose, and our calling, the practicalities of self-sufficiency and self-reliance in worldly matters complete our holistic approach.

We’ve tried different therapies like Gestalt and psychotherapy, explored family dynamics, and learned astrology.

We have been academically trained at Heinrich-Heine-University, Duesseldorf

University of the Arts, Berlin and CalArts, USA and have worked in dentistry, sound design, film and multimedia.

We practice meditation and Yoga.

We have both the sun in Libra, Aries and Leo rising, Virgo and Pisces moon.

Our chiron is in Aries.

We are non-native English speakers.
