Hanna Hündorf, born 1960 in Germany, has been part of the core team of IEC since its inception in 2014.
She helps develop the content, coordinates the workshops and presentations before and during the event, and is part of the main stage management.
Hanna has been a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism since 1982, living for 15 years in Samye Ling, Scotland, where she completed two traditional three year retreats. In 1997, after her first retreat, she began translating for Buddhist teachers from English to German and intensified her studies of Buddhist philosophy and meditation in Hamburg and Nepal. She also started teaching at that time, and begun developing her own style of transmitting the traditional teachings and methods in a way that is appropriate to the Western culture, but retains the depth and power. At the same time she began reading Ken Wilber and adopted the Integral View.
After her second retreat in 2006, she returned to Germany to look after her mother. She worked in an old people’s home for 2 years and nursed her mother for 11 years, so that she could grow old peacefully and in dignity and die at home.
During that time, Hanna began giving courses and individual coaching sessions. She also became involved in the Integral Movement in Germany and Europe, with a special emphasis on organizing large gatherings.
She lives with her husband in North Germany, has joined his gardening firm and gives coaching sessions. She translates from English to German at the celebrate life festival, and for Terri o Fallon.
Ildikó has joined the IEC team in 2022 and holds the main coordinator role, with responsibilities in the general organization, registration and management of participants. She finds the holistic, system-based approach important in her work.
She is also an environmental engineer, having worked as environmental specialist for 14 years and most recently as the head of the department at the Ministry of Environment in Hungary. She served as an expert on environmental protection and sustainability. Along with legislative and strategic development tasks, she has participated in the organization of work groups and forums.
During those years she also studied inner healing, which introduced her to the world of spirituality, meditation, and personality development. Between 2018 and 2021 she completed the 3-year integral psychology program at the Integral Academy of Hungary. Becoming a certified integral counselor there, she has kept developing herself both professionally and individually. In this, she focuses on inner imaginary modalities and is also being trained by Bence Gánti in integral group work facilitation in his integral flow process.
Spending my adolescent years on the early internet, I’ve had the pleasure of being confused in a time when Ken Wilber youtube videos existed. By the time I starting a psychology undergrad in one of UK’s top 10 universities, I’ve worked with Philip Zimbardo, became coach, and I was determined to ponder spiral dynamics, the tao and (or rather in) altered states in higher education. To my disappointment, none of the professors had known Wilber, nor Beck, Kegan, Cook-Greuter. Neither were my peers into these juicy abstractions, so as covid hit the 3rd term of my first year, I moved on and joined the 3 year Integral Psychology course at home, in Budapest. Since then, I’ve specialised in topics related to my age: integrating mediums, memetic social cognition, generational mediation. I became a speaker, a Gen Z group facilitator, marketing guy at IEC.
