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.

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.
With over 13 years of experience in PR, marketing, and social media management, I have worked in diverse fields, including roles in Cologne and Berlin at a software development company, a PR agency, and in the civil sector. My career highlights include managing major projects such as the expansion of Bridgestone's factory in Tatabánya and organizing international events like a gallery opening in Berlin. I have also led high-impact campaigns, such as coordinating the "Maszkot a Frontra" initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent years, I’ve transitioned to freelance work, where I realized that personal barriers often hinder professional engagement. This insight led me to integrate coaching tools and the Integral approach into my work, offering clients not only marketing expertise but also a human-centered and self-identified approach to communication.
Hello, my name is Kata Zsófia Kiszel. I graduated as a nature conservation engineer. The love of nature and its transmission has always been important to me.
