Space for inspiration
that comes from deeper knowing
Hello, I am
Nerit Baum. I am an artist and a facilitator for transformative processes. I see consciousness and sensation as both deeply subjective and universally relevant. I interweave contemporary artistic practice with insights from personal development and coaching. My particular focus lies on embodying inner wisdom and integration of mind and body.
Body is emptiness. Emptiness is body. Emptiness is nothing but body. Body is nothing but emptiness.

Focusing
Mindful.
Creative.
Bodybased.
To inspire deeper self-awareness, I practice Focusing and offer focusing-oriented process facilitation and coaching.
What is Focusing?
The term Focusing comes from the phrase “focus on your inner experiencing”. It is a process of inward listening and sensing the somatic resonance related to a problem or topic. This deeper access to our body knowledge allows for a greater understanding and a completely new approach to our unconscious knowing. The attitude required is one of open, curious, and non-directive presence. The Focusing method was developed by Gene Gendlin, an American-Austrian philosopher and psychotherapist. It describes the pathway for making somatic resonance accessible for personal insight and healing.
Every bad feeling is potential energy toward a more right way of being if you give it space to move toward its rightness.

Focusing is…
- a holistic and body-oriented approach that harnesses innate bodily wisdom for self-healing
- it is easily accessible and natural, reminiscent of abilities many people possess
- it encourages the discovery of innovative and unexpected solutions while deepening transformative processes for lasting change.
- by enhancing inner mindfulness, self-awareness and a state of flow
- it finds versatile applications across therapeutic, spiritual, and artistic contexts.
Focusing support is effective for a variety of needs:
- it supports overcoming action blocks
- clarifying confusing issues and emotions
- helps navigating through difficult decisions
- helps coping with life crises
- addressing psychosomatic bodily complaints
- understanding high sensitivity and neurodiversity
- helps managing self-sabotage along with inner critics.

I have been supporting children and adolescents in creative processes for about 15 years, working pedagogically with groups in both in and outside of educational settings. I am passionate about free artistic education and art projects that extend beyond the confines of the traditional lesson plan. Art fosters emotional growth and cultivates flexible and divergent thinking, helping people discover their own internal compass.
I have been organising art projects between secondary schools in collaboration with art institutions for over 10 years. I lead and coordinate art projects and project weeks focused on personal development and civic education.

& I
Seit ca. 10 Jahren wohne ich in der Altmark und habe an einer reformpädagogischen Gesamtschule den Kunstbereich mit aufgebaut. Vor meinem Leben in der Altmark habe ich an verschiedenen Orten Bildhauerei und Kunstpädagogik studiert. In der Altmark haben mich die Weite, Leerräume, historische Gebäude und die Neugier auf Projekte in Grenzbereichen heimisch werden lassen. Aufgewachsen bin ich in der Nähe von Aachen.
Die Arbeit meiner Mutter mit Kindern im Autismusspektrum und mit schwerst-mehrfachen Behinderungen hat mich früh gelehrt, hinter die Fassade zu blicken und das Wesentliche jenseits des Offensichtlichen zu suchen. Gleichzeitig hat die Auslandstätigkeit meines Vaters meine Neugier für andere Lebenswelten geweckt – schon als Kind kam ich mit Kulturen außerhalb Europas in Berührung. Nach der Schulzeit zog es mich hinaus in die Welt: Ich lebte längere Zeit in Australien, Indien und Großbritannien – auf der Suche nach Weite, Tiefe und neuen Perspektiven. Inspiriert durch meine Reisen widme ich mich seit vielen Jahren verschiedenen Wegen der Erkenntnis – begonnen mit Anthroposophie, indischer und westlicher Philosophie in meinen jungen Jahren, über den Buddhismus bis hin zu Non-Dualität und Psychologie heute. Themen wie Bindung, Trauma, Neurodiversität, aber auch Kreativität und Flow stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt meiner Auseinandersetzung.
