Thomas’ work as a spaceholder is built on one core question: How do we relate to the world, to others, and to ourselves? For over a decade, he has been training spaceholders, developing a unique, multidimensional approach that bridges deep academic insight with experiential, somatic practices. As a sociologist teaching pedagogy and psychology, Thomas brings a grounded, systemic understanding of human behavior to his spaces. This academic foundation is enriched by his artistic background as a movement teacher rooted in theater, circus, and capoeira, as well as his therapeutic training in Logotherapy, breathwork, and body-centered psychotherapy.
With 15 years of experience, his mission is to create warm, trustworthy, and safe circles where you feel fully welcome, seen, and acknowledged—just the way you are. Together, you will create a space woven for deep dives, inner processes, and deep, healing laughter. Whatever it takes!
1:1 Integration & Deep Dive Sessions
Sometimes the magic of a festival triggers things that need a bit more privacy. If you are looking for a 1:1 deep dive, Thomas is also available for personal sessions outside the group setting, offering you a quiet, nurturing harbor for whatever wants to be integrated. Festivals are powerful catalysts for transformation, dance, and connection, but they can also bring deep emotions, old patterns, or intense insights to the surface. These private sessions are your safe anchor point amidst the festival energy. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want to explore a specific topic on a deeper level, you don't have to carry it alone. Drawing from his professional background in Logotherapy, breathwork, and body-centered psychotherapy, Thomas offers a holistic, compassionate approach tailored entirely to your needs in the moment. Together, you will use gentle somatic practices, deep listening, and therapeutic dialogue to process your experiences, regulate your nervous system, and ground your insights. It is a space to slow down, catch your breath, and transform your festival breakthroughs into lasting personal growth.
