Hi, I’m Lisa.
I live on the Danish island Bornholm with my family. A simple life surrounded by some land, a garden, the elements. From here, I’m slowly learning and practicing to work with, rather than against, my own rhythm, needs and abilities. And here, I’m building a tiny studio by hand, together with my partner.
In everyday life I’m mostly a homeschooling mum. If I had to call myself something, I would say, l’m an artist, a musician, a lifelong learner of being human with a body and brain that is wired for depth and connection that I most easily find in nature, stillness and the sound that emerges from here..
Music has been with me since childhood: First my grandma’s piano, then classical guitar, choirs, whatever instruments and possibilities crossed my path. I could never really stay with just one thing, and I never wanted to become technically perfect in one thing. It was always about exploring, expressing, flowing intuitively rather than correctly. And is still true for me today. This is why I now surround myself with a small, unusual collection of instruments - each one with its own story and character. Each one with its own way of expression and how that can touch something deeply within us.
Sound, music and a deep connection to nature have carried me through any period of my life. The last 20 years I spent exploring, traveling, moving. Born and grown up in north eastern Germany, I dived into what we use to call “spiritual work” - yoga, breathwork, shamanic practice, meditation, nature-based healing, sound, plant medicine. Today I would say that a lot of it felt like searching, looking for the next teaching, another practice, another piece of understanding that might finally make things make sense. And a lot of it did. A lot of it “helped”, and it still does! Yet, a lot of it was still my mind trying to think its way into a peace that thinking can’t actually reach.
Along the way I found words and concepts, adapted, boxed and understood. Psychology would say I’m AuDHD - autistic paired with ADHD - though beyond that word, it showed up for me as desperately searching for depth, masking, staying quiet and small, not quite knowing what I needed or how to say it, performing a version of myself that was easier for the room, no matter how “spiritual” that room was. It took, and it still takes, a long way to trust my own way of perceiving the world instead of overriding it. Sound, especially: I don’t just hear it, I feel it move through matter, through my own body, through what I create in any way.
I give sound sessions and sing in a voice that moves before I can decide what it will express. Everything I do is intended to bring us into deeper contact with ourselves, to give room to whatever is asked from or moving within us and, through this, to let us move from asking, overwhelm, noise and not-quite-knowing, towards something more like our own true rhythm and expression. Towards stable ground within ourselves. Towards presence.
Underneath all of it is the simple wish to hold less and to allow more.
For that I am currently building an actual studio, by hand in our garden. An anchor for myself and those who chose to come. A small, real place people can actually come to, pause, be, with a hug, an eye contact, a smile, a shared tear, and sound that moves with all of it.
Until it’s finished, I continue to give sessions at different places around the island, or in nature during summer - and practice to just be here the way a stone is here: steady and unhurried, so that whatever moves through me, you and us has somewhere solid to land.
SO. MUCH. LOVE.
