Our Team

Our team comprises of a small board of directors and volunteers. This may evolve over time, but currently this is who we are:

Andrea Jaquish — Andrea has been a dedicated student of the Amoda Maa Teachings for several years, and has experienced an inner transformation that now filters into her everyday life. As part of our dedicated team, she has the role of USA Retreat Co-ordinator. Her genuine enthusiasm, clear mind, and capacity for deep listening are a great support to us, and we love her! She also acts as Secretary of our Board of Directors. Andrea lives in Wisconsin, USA.

Rene Ringnalda — Rene has been a professional AV technician for key speakers/teachers (such as Deepak Chopra) and major conferences. He approached us last year because he recognized something unique in what we offer. He now sits on our Board of Directors and also offers his immense support through his warm heart and his AV expertise. Rene lives in California, USA.

Erwin Hautsiker — Erwin was deeply touched by Amoda Maa’s presence at one of her teaching events in the USA a number of years ago, and since then has been a dedicated supporter. He is particularly aligned to how Amoda’s vibration and teaching cuts through patriarchal spiritual beliefs and structures. As a member of our Board of Directors, he brings his business skills to our long-term vision and mission. Erwin lives in the Netherlands, and supports us in the organization of events in Europe.

Martina Birkenfeld — Martina lovingly and carefully helps to co-ordinate our Europe retreats. She brings a wealth of experience in event management and working with spiritual organizations. Martina lives in Germany.

Giancarlo Pucci — Giancarlo is a devoted student of the teachings, offering his volunteer services as part of our Global Online Community. When possible he also attends in-person retreats, bringing his camera skills and beautiful heart to reveal the joy of being that is the essence of our gatherings. Giancarlo lives in Costa Rica.
