"Good encounters are the elixir of life. Balm for the soul, food for the mind."
Katja Ebstein, an artist with a heart and attitude, writes for the first time about the most significant stages of her life and the encounters that made her who she is. She tells of how her parents lent her musicality and a love of freedom and of how Willy Brandt became one of her political mentors, how friends such as Rudi Dutschke and Benno Ohnesorg fired her critical spirit, and how encounters with Konstantin Wecker and the Dalai Lama inspired her. But it is not only people but places that shape a life. In Katja Ebstein's case this includes her love for the North Frisian Island of Amrum and the world city Berlin. All these experiences have contributed to making Katja Ebstein the person she is today.
