Karsten's life journey has been deeply intertwined with nature, fostered by a passion for human movement and enriched by a multicultural upbringing. His path took an extraordinary turn when he discovered permaculture in 2007, sparked by a fascination with Bonsai during his tourism studies.

For over a decade and a half, Karsten's quest for holistic well-being has extended into the realm of nutrition and fitness. He has explored a diverse range of diets and fitness practices, experimenting and implementing nutritional and movement strategies as integral parts of his holistic lifestyle.

In the last eight years, he embarked on a remarkable journey of personal transformation. His dedication to physical recovery, fitness, and overall well-being led him to study physical education and ultimately attain a sports degree as a personal trainer. This journey not only empowered him to overcome past injuries but also enabled him to guide others in achieving their fitness goals.

Karsten's most recent pursuit of Animal Flow exemplifies his unwavering commitment to growth and innovation in the realm of human movement. He has seamlessly blended his knowledge with practice, creating vibrant gardens, food forests, and natural swimming pools that are integral ecological systems.

Alongside physical vitality, spirituality, meditation, shamanism, holistic health, and nutrition, Karsten has cultivated a passion for various fitness activities. This comprehensive perspective on well-being drives his unwavering mission: to inspire individuals to lead lives rooted in nature, spiritually whole, and in harmony with the natural world.

His vision comes to life through his projects, including Integral Earthling, Altar Gardens, and the innovative NatHuMob (Natural Human Mobility) project, which aims to reconnect people with their innate, natural movements and the environment.
