About: Cecilie Kristoffersen
Hey you, I’m the founder of - and main facilitator for - A Practice Of Being. Meaning Its my pen (or pc) thats writing the practice letters, I’m the one organizing our retreats and gatherings and offering 1:1 guidance sessions.
Since you’ve made it here you’re probably curious to know a little bit more about me. So, let me start with telling you a little bit about myself, what I believe in and what I offer - because academics and certifications are just formalities, right? But I will get back to that later.
I’m a seeker and explorer, who tries to meet life with childlike wonder, curiosity and compassion. I have always been interested in learning about my fellow beings - what moves them, what makes them “tick” and how I can support them. I try to meet myself in the same manner.
I love to bake with sourdough and nerd about the different steps to make the perfect (or imperfect bread - and mostly failing), I looove the ocean, I research and read a lot of philosophy books, I teach and practice yoga and love to dance until sunrise to the beat of electronic bass-music.
My Background (yes here comes the academics and certifications):
Academic Degrees
Bachelor degree based on history, social science, philosophy and religious studies
Masters in Educational Science - My main focus was on life-view studies, pedagogics and diversity competencies
Career
School-teacher - grade 1-13 (mostly teaching at the high school level)
Research projects - I’ve been working on several Educational Research Projects. Mainly focusing on inclusion, diversity, accessibility, problem solving and cooperative learning
While having these jobs I’ve also worked freelance as a yoga teacher, circle facilitator and event-organiser.

I have been - and always will be - an explorer. But what I KNOW is that in all my work what I always come back to is connection, practice and community
