I'm passionate about

Good dance music. People being empowered to improve themselves and the world around them.

An idea worth spreading

+++ 1. How to Forgive (in 20 languages): The religions of the world have done a good job of teaching us that we ought to forgive; they have not done such a good job of teaching us how to actually do it. Here is how to forgive: http://globalforgivenessinitiative.com/translations/ +++ 2. Positive Boogie: positive music for positive events. Often the DJs signed up to play after a positive event play the same stuff they always play - which usually has no relevance to the spirit of the event those people just attended. I DJ as: contrariaN dj I play stuff which is great to dance to, mostly by well-knows artists, and which also has a positive message. Music which makes your heart sing while your body dances.

The TED story

One of the highlights of TED Global for me in Geneva a visit that a group of us TEDx organisers and translators made to a chocolate factory. I don't care that much about chocolate, but what was awesome was spending most of the day with such a lovely bunch of people. It was so wonderful to get a chance to know some of those folks - such delightful good hearted souls. The chocolate was pretty good too. Big thanks to Gabrielle and Damien (two delightful people) of TEDxLausanne for organising that.
