ABOUT ME
​
My life contained many interesting adventures, contradictions, quests, hopes
and despair. Then I discovered another world, seemingly not different from the one before, but yet completely different, where everything can be
a source of happiness and joy.
I know it is possible.
An autobiography is an adventure that could be rewritten every week. The past is certain, but we don't know what the future will bring. We don't know in advance which facts will be vital turning points in hindsight.
​
I was born in Hungary (06.08.1966) and lived there until I finished my first university studies
(Master of Arts in 1990, JATE).
After that I studied fine arts in the USA and graduated as a sculptor in 1994 (Master of Fine Arts, UofO).
In the same year I got married, also in America, and we moved to Belgium. My husband Filip Van Kerckhoven is a Belgian artist and ecologist (A Biosphere Project). We later had 2 sons who have since grown into wonderful young adults.
I have taught fine arts, mainly sculpture, for nearly 30 years in private schools and Academies of Fine Arts in Belgium. I worked actively as a visual artist for more than 25 years.
​
The study of human consciousness and spiritual traditions has accompanied me throughout my whole adult life and has gradually become my major focus.
In 2016, I began developing creative self-development programs which I brought together under the name
The Secrets of Looking (SoL).
The Secrets of Looking integrated and gave new form to my previous studies, experiences and my belief that creativity and a deeper understanding of oneself are the foundation of a better, fuller and freer life.
Around 2019 I discovered that I had the gift of clairsentience and this led me to an intensive study of every aspect of subtle energies. It was love at first sight!
I gave up my job as a sculptor and since then I have devoted my whole life to discovering ever deeper layers of the wonders of subtle energies. In the last years I developed a series of courses on energies for a broad public and have worked with people individually as an intuition and energy guide.
​
In 2019 I founded The Secret of Looking Retreat Center (SoL Retreat Center).
The search for the ideal location led me back to my roots in Hungary. The SoL Center is located in a small village in the Somogy hills, near Lake Balaton. The building is a 120-year-old farmhouse with a newly added creative/meditation space. The large garden borders an acacia forest. This place radiates peace and security and gives home to The Secrets of Looking Courses and Individual Retreats.
​
In 2022 I started teaching Energy Classes for a broad public in Budapest and other cities in Hungary.
An interview with an alternative TV station gave rise to a boost in interest towards my work. Since then I offer more and more classes every months. My courses are widely attended.
The Secrets of Looking courses and individual guidance are also available in Belgium and The Netherlands in Dutch and in English.
