About :
I am Angela , the founder of Myo Sanctuary.
My work is rooted in a simple but lifelong question:
how do we return from living in our minds to living fully in our bodies, our presence, and our connection with life?
Over the years, I have lived in different parts of the world , including Japan, Cuba, Indonesia, the United States, and several cities in Europe such as Düsseldorf, Rome and Tel Aviv. These experiences shaped how I see people, culture and connection.
No matter where I was, I kept noticing the same human longing:
a desire for warmth, belonging and authenticity in a fast-moving world.
When I moved to Eindhoven the city defined by technology, innovation and design I felt that contrast even more strongly. It made something clear to me: we are advancing rapidly in systems and intelligence, but often losing touch with something deeply human.
During that time, a Buddhist teacher once said to me:
“If you miss something, create it yourself. Be the sun yourself.”
That became a turning point in how I live and create.
Myo Sanctuary grew from that insight.
It is not a brand built around performance or self-improvement. It is a space and a movement that invites people to slow down, reconnect and return to themselves.
Much of my work has focused on guiding people who live strongly in their minds expats, engineers, thinkers and creators , back to the feeling human being. From constant mental activity to presence, awareness and embodied living.
I often describe this shift as moving from Homo Economicus , the calculating, performing human , to Homo Ludens , the sensing, living and playing human.
In my meditations and teachings, one principle often returns:
“World peace is the person sitting across from you.”
Because real transformation does not begin in abstract ideas, but in how we meet each other in everyday life.
The Buddhist concept of Esho Funi has also deeply influenced my perspective:
you and your environment are not separate. They are one continuous field of experience.
When something shifts within you, your world shifts with you.
My own life has been shaped by experiences that deepened this understanding.
Loving and losing taught me self-love.
A burnout taught me self-compassion.
Motherhood showed me what unconditional love truly means.
These experiences are not separate from my work , they are the foundation of it.
I am not interested in creating spaces where people become “better versions” of themselves.
I am interested in spaces where people return to what is already here: aliveness, presence and connection. A return to remember what you already knew , but often forget .
Myo Sanctuary is an invitation to remember.
To return from thinking to feeling.
From control to presence.
From separation to connection.
And ultimately, to come back to life itself.
