Karin Rimbäck Unfolding Essence Zen Coaching

Meet Karin

Hi there!

This is me, Karin Purna Rimbäck, the visionary and soul nerd behind Unfolding Essence. About 10 years ago I left a successful and thriving career in the media industry. I didn't feel the corporate life enough appealing. I kept on asking myself, there must be something more to life than this? What really had been occupying me since early age up until then was the deeper layers of existence. What is really the meaning of our shared human experience? What are our deepest longings that connect us? How do we set our hearts free? And how do we keep on living vibrant, joyful, compassionate and truthful lives that are sustainable for our planet?

Out of curiosity, I set myself off on a journey of explorations. The last 10 years my path has led me to dive into realms of Meditation, Bodywork, Yoga, Conscious Relating, Tantra, Zen Coaching as well as studies of Esoterism, Theology, Buddhism and Hinduism at university. I never cease to be amazed by the constant hunger I have to understand humanity, our most intimate core dimensions and our interconnectedness.

Today I see presence and inner fullness as crucial antidotes to the hurried pace of contemporary life. Giving justice to the power in presence and the inherent meaning of essence has become my calling and my life path. Inspired by my own journey of feeling alienated from my core for more than a decade, I believe that the act of unfolding essence and inquiring about our deeper self can not only reconnect us with our authentic being but also contribute to a more present, empathic and long lasting society. I'm also confident that presence is the portal to the simplicity and wisdom that our planet so much is in need for.

In this unfolding journey, I aspire to weave together ancient wisdom and modern practices with my own forever continuing exploration of life. Creating projects that is sparked from my own personal essence and insights. Through my bodywork, coaching and teachings I aim to share the gifts of unfolding essence, inviting you all to a rich and peaceful inner life, fostering a harmonious connection with ourselves and the world around us.

So welcome along! I feel bubbles of joy and curiosity in my chest when I write this.
