Björn Kiehne

Björn Kiehne grew up surrounded by stories in the fairytale-like Harz Mountains of Germany. Years later, during his first Vipassana course in the Himalayas, he was delighted to discover that his teacher, S.N. Goenka, also loved to tell beautiful stories. Inspired, Björn aspired to create stories for children, viewing them as gentle nourishment on the path to peace.

Today, he teaches at a university in Berlin, swims in lakes, eats cake, and trains his monkey mind by watching his breath.
