About me

Bijan Ghaffari-Tabrizi

I was born and raised in Hamburg, but I have also been shaped by Persian-Iranian culture alongside the German one. I value the diversity of different cultures as well as the uniqueness of each individual.

At the University of Hamburg, I researched the psychological effects of nature experiences. I have attended numerous seminars in meditation and mindfulness and lived for a time in a Buddhist monastery. I co-founded a community project and was part of environmental movements.

You stand alone
by the gotten-old gate
to an unlikely heaven.
Turning neither around
nor inwards,
nor standing still.
The path of uncertainty
does not care about happy endings;
it is walked with a fresh breeze,
with an adaptive heart.
