About

Simon
Oliver K ornhäusl

My work is to create space
in which we can breathe
more deeply.

So that truth and beauty
can seep in

through the cracks.

As a facilitator, educator and guide I support individuals and communities to grasp the current civilizational crisis as a call to embrace their true purpose – and embody it with clarity, care and ease.

As an artist, I create a variety of things: Drawings, texts, poetry, ceremonial objects, performances, songs and more. And step by step, I’m also regarding the trainings I give, the relationships I cultivate, the projects I contribute to as artistic processes. And, thus, my whole life as a marvellous act of (co)creation.

In the end, how I frame my work is less crucial than the intention that carries it: To nourish the world I wish to live in. To grow structures and cultures that cherish all life. And to help us remember that the sacred lives right here in the everyday. This moment. This fresh green leaf. This pencil stroke.
This breath.

You want to work with me or wish to commission a training, a piece of art, a ceremony, a gift? Don’t hesitate to drop me a letter.

Me: A particle

Me: A wave

Watch the tide: The curious interplay

Of my broken and mended,
cracked open anew,
twisted and shattered,
and yet – unbroken and whole
BodyMindHeartAndSoul

With my breath.
„My“ breath.
Life. Breathing me.

Like all things, „I“ am not a solid thing.
I’m the web of relations that shaped me, define me
weave through me in each and every moment.
It is thanks to you that I am.

Yes,
I did not come into this world.
I came out of it.
I am a fibre of it. No more than that.
And no less.

Some Thanks: To my friends. My parents. My siblings – by blood and by choice. To my teachers – human and not. To the land. The rivers. The forests.
And to the mountains. Ever the mountains.
