Anna Brunain
I am a teacher, chef, artist and alchemist. Through my paintings, music, words and food, I let my light shine on the stories that need to be told or that deserve our full attention. It’s my mission to listen to the world’s stories with an open heart and create, retell them, from the same place. Hosting feels like a natural state of being to me, whether it’s in a classroom, kitchen, my own living room or an alchemical process. Born, raised and currently living in Belgium. Always with a part of my heart in my second home: the Arctic.

Luea Ritter
I thrive within ambiguity and complexity, and through a diverse medley of fields I have developed a high sensitivity for context-based cultural and social dynamics. My work weaves transformative change processes, trauma and healing work, leadership and organizational development, community building, and earth-based wisdom traditions to cultivate and maintain capacities in individuals and collectives. I am a co-founder and creative steward of Collective Transitions, an action-learning and research organization dedicated to building shared capacity for transformational shifts. Pursuing my cutting-edge research-to-innovation PhD Process for Holistic Development with the Geneva-based TRANS4M Center for Integral Development, I research social fields and the building and maintaining of coherence. My work brings me to various places in this world and to diverse sectors, where I guide and facilitate organizational, community and cultural development that embrace the complexity, challenges and potential of our times. Collective Alchemy has been an important field of inquiry and applied practice that I am dedicated to since its beginning. Being part of hosting and stewarding this emergent practice field has deeply supported and informed my diverse workfields.
