About me

Not belonging, not fitting, a package of strong and untamed emotions and a high degree of sensitivity have intensively shaped and formed the first 25 years of my life. Emotional rollercoaster rides, resistance, excessive demands, disorientation, inability to act of any kind and not knowing - what, why, how, what for? - were often daily programs.

 

I spent most of my childhood and early youth in nature, here I could be who I was, follow my heart and was not confronted with being different. However, the love of sport, the need for a "we - feeling" and the social structures brought with them an unavoidable confrontation.

Who am I? where do i belong What is my task? what is my way?

 

Since I didn't have any answers to these questions at the age of 16, the obvious thing I chose was an apprenticeship as a retail salesman in the sports sector. After my military service, a 2-year trip as a locksmith assistant and a few stopovers, my path led me to Lech am Arlberg, where I did seasonal work in retail sports for 7 years.

 

During that time, I caused a direction and life changing snowboarding accident in 2008. With a diagnosis of complete paraplegia, the prospect of life in a wheelchair, and a 2% chance of being able to walk again, I worked my way back to my feet within 6 months. I've learned to live with the lasting effects of an incomplete spinal cord injury and make the best of it.

In the course of professional rehabilitation, I completed retraining to become a social worker in 2014 and then worked in various institutions.

 

Since 2016 I have been self-employed as a shamanic human energetics practitioner.

Also since 2016 I have been active as a competitive athlete in the Austrian National Paraclimbing Team.

 

In 2017 I completed my training as an instructor for sport climbing at the BSPA Innsbruck.

After being authorized by the district authority of Vöcklabruck, I was able to integrate my activity as a sport climbing guide into my freelance offer in 2018.

My spiritual journey began with nature.

 

The classic religions and ways of life never really felt right to me.

So my path led more and more towards the indigenous way of life via many books, Buddhism, Taoism, systemic constellation work, alternative approaches and awareness work.

 

In the end I ended up in shamanism in 2010. This holistic view of and about life finally corresponded to the deep longing of my heart/my soul.

 

Since 2011 I have been attending regular healing circles, trainings and workshops - among other things for the production of shamanic tools e.g.: drum building, rattle building, etc. (Volker Truckenthanner, bergschamane.at)
