NEW & HOT
READY FOR ACTION
I’ve passed my ‘baptism of fire’ – a summer full of inspiration and positive moments in the classroom is now behind me, and I can look ahead with renewed confidence. A huge THANK YOU to the Burner Community, who welcomed me with incredible warmth and supported me through these first sessions.
These positive experiences and the feedback I’ve received have really helped me to come to terms emotionally with losing my job after 27 years and having to face a disability assessment process. As a movement facilitator through and through, I simply cannot imagine retiring just yet. I still have a wealth of ideas and energy, and I imagine that my journey back to life could also encourage other (teaching) professionals facing difficult situations to keep fighting and seek out new horizons. With the support of the Burner Motion team, I will therefore be taking the plunge and starting afresh as a self-employed professional.
If you’re looking for a Burner topic for your next team advanced training, a teambuilding event topic or a crispy keynote, please let me know. Of course, I’d also be very grateful if you could recommend Burner Motion to friends and colleagues.

MURIEL IS FINALLY GETTING BACK ON TRACK
Personal note: After eight years of intense struggle on various fronts, I was finally able to teach my first classes this year at the DSBG at the University of Basel. It still takes a lot of energy, but being aware that it is possible makes me incredibly happy – almost surreal. A huge THANK YOU to the Burner Community, who, after all these years, still believe I can make a comeback. Because it’s these positive vibes that kept me from ever giving up. It’s not yet clear how much teaching time my severely damaged brain will eventually be able to handle again, but the setup is right. The machine is running. And I’m ready to go full throttle to see what’s still possible. I’m looking forward to seeing you all again, and to trying out all the new games I’ve come up with in the meantime 😉
