Josephines body of work has grown from one core investigation:
What conditions allow human beings to grow and become more fully alive -
individually and together?
Over two decades, she builds atmospheric worlds in which people can inhabit a different possibility.
Spaces for multidimensional intelligence to land,
connect, transform, experiment - and become something we can actually live.
Offering conditions for complexity to be felt, explored and understood - without rushing to conclusions.

Some adventures
don’t begin with a plan.
Crown Yourselfdidn’t start as a brand or business idea.

Crown Yourself was born from a long series of experiments. A different way of looking at things.
I have always felt slightly impossible to domesticate. Since my twenties, I lived and created inside Berlin’s cultural landscape -working as a transformational costume designer and event host. Sometimes restoring historic fabrics and armors.
In 2006 Dakini Crowns knocked on my door without warning. Literally arriving through my hands at our studio house:
Rose Transformation Salon
Through event performances, immersive collaborations, photo shootings and conversation, Dakini Crowns became a technologyfor self-recognition, coming alive in togetherness,
Chopping Wood - Carrying Water
These times became an initiation of their own -
to find deeper belonging in my being - without the constant doing.
My entire life I had been crafting, building things, gathering people.
Carrying resources to various locations, strongly identified with what I could make and contribute as freely as possible.
After letting go of the studio with 95% of my costume collections, tons of materials and many people - this was by far not an easy transition.
But it revealed that real transformation doesn´t come from external work,
nor escaping civilization.
It comes from being curious what life has in store for you. When you allow nature to compost and upgrade old stories from the inside out - no matter where you are.

The lightbulp moment:
"You already are who you dream of becoming".
What do you want to experience ?
The next door is opening soon.
This work is an invitation to break free from conventional perspectives.
Encouraging an innovative approach to community and collaboration,
that can ultimately expand horizons and foster a deeper understanding
of our personal freedom within the collective.
