Background

Adrienn Freund was born in 1979 in Hajdúszoboszló, a small town in the eastern part of Hungary. Having had a rather insecure and unpredictable family she started to long for something deeper at an early age. She was 16 when she already worked as an aupair in London which changed her life forever discovering her own inner strength and capacity to manifest change in her life alone.

In 2000 she met a loving couple Susan and John in London when they had just received the diagnosis that John was dying. The love and awareness shining from their eyes and their integrity  brought Adrienn’s attention to something bigger than this conditioned human life. This meeting ignited her longing for freedom, but at the time she could not name it like that. She found herself praying: Please send me a teacher!

She stayed open and she was directed by a friend of Susan’s to the Findhorn Foundation in 2002, an ecological and new age spiritual community in the North of Scotland, where she stayed a couple months, curiously waiting to find out what awaits her there. One day a friend from her group was  talking about Ramana and in an instant Adrienn experienced deep stillness, her mind opened and everything stopped for a moment. She experienced bliss. However, as after a while the human conditionings returned she knew she needed a living teacher. In one of the meetings someone showed them a Gangaji video. Although Adrienn had no idea what Gangaji was talking about she was sure she was the teacher she asked for. She even had similar eyes to Susan. Adrienn met Gangaji in 2003 and has been following her since. Gangaji confirmed Adrienn that it is possible to live a life of truth and she invited her to give herself to love.

Adrienn went back to Hungary in 2003 and studied Anglistic at the Universtiy of Debrecen which gave her the passion for writing and also provided her the necessary practice to translate Gangaji and her husband’s, Eli’s DVDs into Hungarian. She was dedicated to bring their down-to-earth and simple teaching to Hungary.

In the embracing support of the wisdom she received from her teachers Adrienn also set out to do what actually needed to be done in her toxic family and finally put out her borders and put down her conditioned role of the family caretaker.

Since 2006 Adrienn has been participating in Gangaji’s husband Eli Jaxon-Bear’s retreats and his Leela training where she extensively learned about the Enneagram and other skillfull means that are direct and powerful tools to awaken and to stay awake. Adrienn opened her private practice in 2013 in Hungary and later in Salzburg. After listening to Eli`s advice that Adrienn should offer herself this way, in 2018 she together with her beloved true partner Harald started offering meetings in the service of awakening.
