Hi, my name is Nemanja.
My purpose is to invoke the conscious awakening and rise of men and women in this world, and to be a vessel of love and inspiration for humanity.
From survival to purpose.
I grew up in a broken family, in a broken country. As a kid I lived through two wars, months of the second spent in a bomb shelter. In the '90s there wasn't always food on the table. And still, somewhere underneath all of it, I believed I would rise, that one day my passion would be the center of my life, not just survival.
The moment the war ended, I started teaching. I got into martial arts, started building community, because on some level I already knew this was my path.
My earliest memory of something beyond survival comes from reading the Third Eye magazines my father collected. They woke up a curiosity in me for the spiritual, the mystic, the unordinary, and set me on a lifetime path of self-discovery, one that carried me through the shamanic traditions of Africa and Latin America, which moved my body through music and dance, and the eastern philosophies of India and China, which opened the door to the unseen.
As I spoke passionately to life, life answered passionately back.
Beyond the work, this is my life.
In 2017 I chose to spend a long stretch of time single, so I could feel myself fully. It was one of the most powerful decisions I've made. I knew that when the time was right, my heart would open and love again, fully.
I remember being in Bali, feeling her energy before I'd even met her. She was out there somewhere in the world, and I already loved her.
Through the kind of synchronicity only the universe can arrange, we met on Instagram. A year of occasional messages later, she walked into one of my workshops in Holland. The moment she stepped into the room, I saw her eyes, her smile, and my heart knew: it's her.
Eight years later, Nicole and I are raising our daughter together, and building our lives around the work we're each called to do. She's not only my partner, she's living her own purpose through her own work too, and that matters to me as much as anything we build side by side.
We call what we've built a sacred union: not about you or me, but about what the relationship itself needs to thrive. Fatherhood has only deepened that. Showing up as a dad, every single day, is its own practice, one I care about as much as any workshop I've ever taught.
Living my purpose, alongside the people I teach.
Whenever I see a photo like this, I get the chills, and a wide smile. Sharing my passion with people across the world, in workshops like this one, has been my purpose for over two decades.
My mission is to bring humanity back into their bodies: to help people feel more, sense more, and connect deeper to themselves and each other. To walk with their heads high, like the kings and queens we are.
I want to empower you to follow your own dream, and the gifts you were given at birth. To walk beside you, side by side, as you build your own kingdom, one you can fully flourish in.
The world, one spontaneous turn at a time.
I've always loved traveling to the places most people don't dare go. One of my favorite things to do: rent a scooter, turn off my phone, leave the map at home, and just go. Drive intuitively, in whatever direction feels right.
It's brought me to some of the most magical places I know, like this one, the top of a mountain in a small village in Vietnam, far from any city.
These adventures have given me so much inner joy, fulfillment, and friendship, moments I'll cherish for the rest of my life. And the best part? I feel like I'm only just getting started.
To be continued…
Father. Partner. Facilitator. Still becoming.
