Brigitte Wingelmayr

Born in 1951 in Austria. She studied economics in Vienna and comparative religions in North America. The diagnosis of cancer in 1976 gave her the impulse to rethink her life and to follow her calling and support the development of the heart and consciousness. In the following twenty years she developed the training “Balance the 7”. For some years she cooperated with the Austrian Society for Psycho-Oncology.

Considering herself a constant student from life and death, she studied with Dr. Oruc Güvenc: Central Asian Music Therapy, Dance and Sufism. In America she lived and trained with different elders, such as Donlin Many Bad Horses, Claudine Chiefstick. She is a member of a closed medicine society in North America. Those experiences opened up many perspectives leading to the integration and practice of ancient wisdom in modern life. Two 40 days fasting retreats in the Sufi and one 50 day retreat in the native tradition enriched the knowledge of the heart’s wisdom and the profound art of loving oneself and others.

In rural Austria she runs the School for Joy of Life. Brigitte is teaching throughout Austria, Kazakhstan, Russia and Hungary.
