​​Having journeyed deep into the Underworld at an early age, Nikólaus learned to rely upon the wisdom of his heart to direct and guide him. In 2010, his inner wisdom guided him to Venus Rising Association for Transformation, where he connected with the late Bradford Clark Collins—Co-Director of Venus Rising and Co-Founder of Isis Cove Community and Retreat Center. As Brad's direct apprentice, Nikólaus learned to engage with people's souls and hearts, creating sacred space for healing and transformation. Brad continued to serve as Nikó's mentor for the remainder of his life, passing on his medicine about shamanic leadership and soul work.

 

Today, Nikólaus serves as Co-Director of Venus Rising Association for Transformation alongside his wife, Linda Star Wolf. A creative renaissance man who operates on necessity and the art of improve, Nikó brings his unique blend of intuitive wisdom and practical skills to everything he undertakes. He holds a Master's Degree in Shamanic Psycho-Spiritual Studies from Venus Rising University and is a Master Shamanic Breathwork Practitioner, having trained extensively in this transformational healing modality.

​As Co-Director, Nikólaus manages Venus Rising's business operations while organizing and facilitating Shamanic Breathwork trainings, transformational retreats, and Shamanic Mystery Tours around the globe. Together with his beloved Star Wolf, they have taken students to sacred sites across the globe; Bali, South Africa, Mexico, Egypt, Peru, and beyond.

His story is featured in Linda Star Wolf's book, Soul Whispering: the Art of Awakening Shamanic Consciousness.
