When we are young, we want to change the world; when we get older, we realise that we should start with ourselves. But change is only possible through movement. And if the movement is to be life-supporting, then it will certainly be rhythmic.
The word eurythmy comes from the Greek and means ‘beautiful rhythm’.
Eurythmy has fundamentally changed my life and probably me too.
I first encountered Rudolf Steiner's ideas at the age of 21 at the university in Madrid, Spain, where I was born. More than an encounter, it was a recognition. For me, anthroposophy was never the end of a path or a search, but rather the beginning of a path of development that has accompanied my life ever since.

The world of plants is my latest passion. Through my work on a project about Goetheanism, I was able to immerse myself in the fascinating world of plants and be amazed.

‘There are only two ways of looking at the world: Either you believe that nothing in the world is a miracle, or you believe that there is nothing but miracles.’
