Kathrin Schmack a German architect, Feng Shui master, and the visionary force behind the Rainforest Academy for Holistic Ancient Wisdom. My life’s work is dedicated to bridging the ancient and the modern—reviving sacred traditions to regenerate a future in balance with nature.
From architectural harmony to spiritual ecology, my mission is rooted in one truth:
My Purpose
My work is not just about designing spaces—it’s about designing life. The academy is a sanctuary where indigenous knowledge, sacred science and ecological living come together to transform how we see ourselves and the planet.
My Vision includes:
Preserving ancestral knowledge and rituals.
Teaching the art of holistic, 4D architecture.
Co-creating spiritual experiences in sacred natural settings.
Building bridges between bioculture and biodiversity.
Kathrin, known as “the pure one”, identifies as an indigenous transcultural femininity with European roots. Through an initiation with a puma spirit on the beach of Matapalo, she encountered Fu Xie on the banks of the Yellow River during a journey through time. Together, they witnessed the emergence of the white horse and the Lo-Shu turtle from the water.
Kathrin is an expert in the mysteries of the I Ching. Her current work involves translating the 64 hexagrams into a calendar system within an expanded spatial dimension. She dedicates this work to the children of the world, aiming to offer them hope for a peaceful future filled with joy and harmony.
A traveler by nature, Kathrin moves along the vertical plane between light and darkness in the timelessness of being. She also possesses the ability to wander freely in all eight directions.
I collaborates with:
🌍 Indigenous communities (like the Ngäbe tribe)
🧠 Global educators, spiritual elders, and environmental thinkers
🏡 Volunteers and students seeking a conscious life path
🌿 Nature itself—as the ultimate teacher
My architecture is inspired by natural balance and cosmological principles, from ancient tomb geometry to sustainable bio-design for the tropics.
