ABOUT

WOW & FANCE was founded in 2021 by Saskia Nitsche, a Berlin based writer. After meeting more and more writers who shared her interest in merging their writing practice with a more body focused approach and innervate it through the practice of meditation, yoga and other mindfulness techniques she created a workshop program that hopefully will not only serve those who are in search for development in these areas, but also encourage the connection between similarly minded writers and creatives.

TEAM

Saskia Nitsche

Saskia is a Berlin based writer as well as a dedicated practitioner of yoga, meditation and other mindfulness techniques. She is a certified Vinyasa and Yin Yoga teacher. Beside her own writing she teaches creative writing courses in various art universities. With her workshops and classes she creates a space where the daily practice of the writer meets yoga, somatics and mindfulness. Her aim is to guide the participants back to that still place in them from where everything unfolds with ease. Having a silent mind and being grounded in the body then allows a genuine expression to arise. (Read more about Saskia)
