A story that won't let you go


Pierre Stutz is one of the best-known spiritual teachers in the entire German-speaking world. His lectures, seminars and more than 40 books deal with topics such as mindfulness, the conscious confrontation with psychological wounds, inner reconciliation and the search for one's own spiritual path.
On his 70th birthday on November 7, 2023, Pierre Stutz now presents his moving autobiography, in which he describes how he gradually became the person he is: "For years my life was a struggle for self-acceptance, outwardly very successful, inwardly torn, caught in the fear of rejection." At 20, he entered a Catholic order, studied theology, became a priest, and worked as a youth pastor and university lecturer. He remains a seeker. At the age of 49, he resigns from the priesthood; a year later, he meets his life partner, whom he marries in 2018. Today he is finally the one he likes.

"I have had the painful yet healing experience that ruptures in life can become a breakthrough to greater aliveness." Pierre Stutz

Pierre Stutz, Jahrgang 1953, ist einer der gefragtesten spirituellen Lehrer unserer Zeit. In Vorträgen und Kursen inspiriert er im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum die Menschen zu einer geerdeten und befreienden Spiritualität. Die Kraft seiner Texte zieht er aus christlicher Mystik und biblischen Quellen – aber auch aus der Überzeugung, dass Spiritualität dazu da ist, zu befreien und nicht einzuengen. Seine über 40 Bücher wurden insgesamt mehr als 1 Million-mal verkauft und in sechs Sprachen übersetzt. www.pierrestutz.ch
