Stefan Peter is a true citizen of the world, with his three main urban hubs in New York, London, and Berlin. He has worked in investment banking,  real estate and architectual developments since 1990 with the goal of enabling innovation and progress to enhance different areas of human existence.

Stefan studied Economics and Social Science at the University of Cologne and continued his post graduate studies at the London School of Economics. 

Constantly exploring for the best ways to unfold his own potential and serve humanity, he started his first company, real estate developments and investments in both Germany and the UK in 1993. In 1996 he ventured to New York where he established Vesta International Real Estate Inc, followed by Hestia LLC in 1997.

In addition to his professional focus in investment banking, real estate, and the development of various architectural projects, Stefan has had a natural approach to meditation and contemplation since his early childhood, which he has continued to develop and train since the age of 24.

His work in the world has always been guided by the vision to build a worldwide network that opens the undogmatic and scientifically based access to meditation, in order to share the drive of his own work and development with the world. His work has from the beginning been guided by his vision of establishing a worldwide network that gives access to undogmatic and scientifically-based meditation practices and where he can also share his own work and development with others.

This vision is being fulfilled and manifested gradually. In 2011, Stefan acquired the Siemens Villa in Berlin and founded Unio Holdings with the aim to preserve this unique building for the public as a place for culture, science, and art. Stefan further established Inline Foundation, the Forum for Meditation and Neuroscience, in 2015, and Mbnb.space in 2018 – a retreat and meditation network. Both enterprises are important and supporting milestones for his overarching concept.

Stefan's work has always been driven by the question, "What is the motivation for our behavior?" As his own motivation crystallizes more and more clearly it enables him to now bring together the many threads of his work within the framework of the Inline Foundation.

Das Thema Stress und Gehirnentwicklung ist mein Hauptarbeitsfeld. Als promovierte Psychologin und Hirnforscherin arbeite ich als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für medizinische Psychologie der Charité Berlin.

Die Ausbildung zur MBSR-Trainerin habe ich am Institut für Achtsamkeit bei Dr. Linda Lehrhaupt absolviert. Langjährige Erfahrung in der Leitung von Workshops zu Autogenem Training, Progressiver Muskelentspannung, Yoga Nidra sowie geleiteten Meditations- und Entspannungsreisen bringe ich zielführend in all meine Kurse ein.

Seit über 20 Jahren lebe und praktiziere ich in Berlin. In dieser Zeit habe ich sowohl als Entrepreneur, Firmen in der Creative Industry gegründet und geführt, sowie als Berater und Mentor Unternehmen persönlich begleitet.

Inzwischen beschäftige ich mich vor allem mit Menschen und Potenzialentwicklung, der Auflösung hemmender Muster, sowie der Integration neu gewonnener Erkenntnisse und Fähigkeiten in das Alltags-und Berufsleben.

Meine langjährig gesammelte Erfahrung im Bereich Meditation, Heilarbeit und verschiedenster Entspannungsformen, gebe ich nun in Gruppensitzungen und Wokshops weiter.

Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt hierbei auf einer dynamischen Atemmeditation, der Lichtatmung.

Um mit Leib und Seele vollkommen zu verstehen, dass die menschliche Existenz aus schwingenden Energiefeldern besteht, begab ich mich für mehrere Jahre nach Asien. In China, Taiwan, Malaysia und Thailand forschte ich in unterschiedlichen Kloestern und in traditionellen Qi Gong Schulen, um die feinstofflichen Phänomene zu verinnerlichen.

Die Qi Gong Stile, die meine persönliche Qi Gong Praxis prägten, sind: Taoistisches Medical Qi Gong, Bagua QI Gong, Wudang 5 Animal Qi Gong, Martial Art Qi Gong, Spirituelles Qi Gong.

Nach der Integration dieser transformierenden Erfahrungen, begann ich die gesammelten Schätze mit der Welt zu teilen. In meinem Qi Gong Unterricht lege ich viel Wert auf den intuitiven Aspekt der Praxis. Ich kombiniere gerne traditionelles Wissen mit modernen Methoden, die ich aus anderen Ausbildungen erworben habe (Hypnose, Autogenes Training und der Progressiven Muskelentspannung etc.).

Christa begleitet keative Prozesse der Selbst-Entwicklung. Sie verbindet dabei ihren Hintergund als Tänzerin & Choreografin mit ihrer systemischen Ausbildung und gut 20-jähriger interantionaler Praxis in Therapie, Beratung und Training.

Im Schwerpunkt arbeitet Christa aktuell in der Fliedner Klinik Berlin sowie in privater Praxis als Bewegungstherapeutin vor allem zum Umgang mit Stress und Traum-Folgen.

"Der Raum den ich für mich und andere schaffe, ist eine Einladung, unser ganzes Selbst in der freien Bewegung von Geist und Körper wahrzunehmen. Er gibt mir die Möglichkeit, mich so in der Welt zu bwegen, wie ich sein möchte: lebendig, frei und präsent!"

Bereits in jungen Jahren nahm ich an Achtsamkeitskursen teil und beschäftigte mich mit Fragen nach dem tieferen Lebenssinn.

Vielfältige Ausbildungen in Humanistischer & Transpersonaler Psychotherapie, Integralem Coaching sowie MBSR, haben in mir ein tiefes Verständnis für Heilung und Potenzialentfaltung entstehen lassen.

Achtsamkeit und Meditation haben mich immer auf meinem Weg begleitet und waren stets eine wesentliche Grundlage – sowohl privat als auch in meinen über 20 Berufsjahren als Therapeutin, Coach und Trainerin.

Durch den Beginn meines Studiums, der Kulturanthropologie, in England und Deutschland, wurde ich auf die Wirkungsweisen von Meditation und Achtsamkeit aufmerksam.

Zu meinen Fachgebieten gehören neben aktiven, dynamischen Meditationsmethoden, auch südamerikanische Herz zentrierte Meditationstechniken sowie diverse Atemtechniken der Kundalini Lehre.

Auslandsreisen nach Indien, Peru und Griechenland erlaubten mir, mich in diese Thematiken zu vertiefen.

Die Jahre lange Erfahrung als Meditationslehrerin ermöglichen es mir, einige Techniken zu kombinieren und sie in geführte Meditationen einfließen zu lassen.

Durch meine Kindheit und Jugend in New Delhi, Indien, begann ich bereits als Kind Yoga und Meditation zu praktizieren.

Ich studierte Indologie und Ethnologie auf wissenschaftlich westliche und traditionell östliche Weise.

Als Yoga-, Meditations- und Sanskritlehrerin schulte ich mich zusätzlich in verschiedenen schamanischen Traditionen und eignete mir diverse alternative Heilmethoden an.

Außerdem befasse ich mich mit der Welt des Online Marketings und berate Menschen, sich zielorientiert im Internet zu bewegen.

Im Rahmen meiner langjährigen Tätigkeit als Berater und Coach im Kunst- und Kulturbereich habe ich mich in meiner Arbeit mit Kreativen zunehmend auf individuelle Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und Potentialentfaltung spezialisiert.
 
Als zertifizierter EDxTM® Practitioner begleite ich Klienten dabei, mentale & emotionale Blockaden sowie zugrunde liegende Glaubenssätze zu lösen. EDxTM® ist eine energetische Körperarbeit und Methode aus der Kinesiologie – ähnlich dem in USA populären „Tapping“. Hierbei werden bestimmte Punkte an Kopf und Händen sanft geklopft, während der Klient die als belastend empfundene Situation visualisiert. Blockierte Energieleitbahnen werden frei und Körper, Geist und Seele finden in die Balance zurück. Negative Emotionen wie Angst, Wut u. ä. weichen so einem Gefühl von Gelassenheit und Zuversicht.
 
Basierend auf meiner Erfahrung aus Einzelsitzungen habe ich ein Konzept entwickelt, mit dem EDxTM® auch in der Gruppe effektiv angewendet werden kann. Weitere Kenntnisse aus der systemorientierten Kinesiologie fließen mit ein.

1988 begann für mich der faszinierende Weg aus Kampfkunst und Heilarbeit. Nach meiner Kampfkunst-Karriere als dreifacher Europameister im vietnamesischen Kampfsport Qwan Ki Do, entwickelte ich in den folgenden Jahren eine immer tiefere Beziehung zu asiatischen Heilkünsten. Meine Fachgebiete beinhalten TCM, Qi Gong und Thai Yoga Massage. Für eine intensive Vertiefung dieser Themen unternahm ich mehrere Studienreisen nach China, Thailand, Sri Lanka und Indien.
