Maria Zacherl is a naturopath with her own practice in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, Germany. She enjoys supporting people holistically. Her curiosity about the process of healing led her to wonder what kind of impulse it is that heals us, drives us forward, and which humanity seems to follow. This question brought her to evolve World, where such an impulse is consciously present and alive between people in dialogue. At evolve World, she is part of the Core Team of advanced Emergent Interbeing practitioners, responsible for catalyzing the emergence of co-conscious creativity in small groups. Maria also supports fundraising and is active in guiding evolve Salons.

…Plus members of the evolve World Core Team who are dedicated to Emergent Interbeing as a spiritual path and are seeing how this new way of being together  fundamentally changes work, relationships, and the deepest sense of connection and meaning. Some have been engaging with this practice for a few years and others have been participating in this exploration of Interbeing for more than a decade. They are working to realize this potential of collective development with more and more people and groups.
