Otto Strosche and
Saajid Zandolini

Since 1984 Otto (on the right side in the picture) has been inhabiting and energizing this place and this house, which he encountered in ruins. Soon this refuge became a meeting point, a crossroads with colourful, multi-faceted and creative happenings, always rooted in spiritual search and deepening experience and understanding.

Since 2005, satsang and meditation teacher Saajid from Switzerland has been lending this place his regular presence for retreats and satsangs.

Otto about himself

In January 1942 my life began in Vienna, Austria. Already in my early years I felt the urge to find out more about the background and roots of the cultural environment in which I was born.

I am still following this road, through meditation, energy work and consciousness work. Both my fears and my longings have shown me the way to my liveliness. I went where they led me.

In the course of my life I have tried and practiced many professions and art forms. It is important for me to express my creativity through working with my hands and to work with people in a therapy setting.
