Therapy, meditation - life as self-experience in growing connection with others. Poems, songs were and are for him an expression of this path. Professionally, he has been working as a non-medical practitioner for psychotherapy and as a meditation teacher since 1997.

The poems of Jörg Jaegers appeal on many levels. They invite the reader to take the leap into his or her own experience – whatever level it is that is currently resonating. In this sense, the author also sees his poems as a service to the reader. – The artists Margret Lochner and Eva Schnitzer have placed colorful ink drawings next to / on the pages of the poems, which make the volume an additional pleasure and have also given the book its title face. Many thanks for this!
