Issue 7 2025 out October 2

Autumn has always had a special place in my heart. It's as if the season makes you breathe a little deeper, slow down and find peace. I always feel the urge to retreat a little, into the cave, and create coziness around me. A cup of hot coffee, soft textiles, the smell of the wood-burning stove and the sound of rain against the window – that's autumn magic. But I also love to experience nature up close.

A walk in the forest, where the leaves crunch underfoot, or a breezy walk by the North Sea, where the wind ruffles my hair and clears my mind. These are moments when I feel connected to the season and to myself.

Autumn is also a time when I slowly start to think about Christmas. Not with hustle and bustle and stress, but as a quiet joy. I enjoy sitting in the glow of candles and dreaming about creative projects, small gifts, decorations and cozy moments with those I love.

Something I have reflected on a lot over the past year is work-life balance. Work/life balance is a concept that many people talk about, and I really try to live it out. The older I get, the more I feel the need to consciously prioritize my life. The greatest luxury in life is not material goods, but time. Time to be present, time to take care of your body and mind, and time to nurture your relationships. Good health, a calm mind, and meaningful communities – these are what I want to prioritize. And then there is my home. I feel deeply grateful to live in a place where I love to be. A home that gives me peace and inspires me every single day. It is in this space that creativity flourishes, and where I find nourishment for the life I want to live.

I hope that in this edition of the magazine you will find inspiration to create your own autumn atmosphere and to find balance in your life – in your own way.
