my vision
I thrive to enable a sustainable future by embodying nature. For a perception as inherent nature and its vivid qualities, I invite to a somatic access to the nature within. Preserving the nature within is equally interconnected to preserving nature around.

I’m Lara Dunkel (she/her) based and born in Berlin with Swedish childhood roots. Nature and horses have been a great resource and companion in my life since ever. It guided me to an ongoingjourney of somatic healing, self-discovery and (un-)learning. In collaborations I got to know various trauma-sensitive nature and horse assisted approaches internationally like MiMer Centre and Equinimity Tuscon. In order to share access to this resource mutual with and as nature, Itanca emerged.
My values are interconnectedness, sensitivity, naturality, openness and intuition. I’m aware that safety and freedom is relative and not universally accessible. I acknowledge the wounds of patriarchy such as oppressive power dynamics and the anthroposcene. With openness I like to invite shifts towards an individual and collective somatic growth in consensual un-learning, recognition and awareness – so that we can create spaces that are “safe as possible” together.
Furthermore I like to mention, that I don’t make any promises of cure and healing. My complementary accompaniment in the form of self-discovery with SE® doesn’t replace a specialist approbation of psychotherapy or any medical and psychiatric treatment. Staying within my professional standard I recommend a holistic network of support with various specializations.
