ANNE KOLLER

Anne Koller is an artist, author, yoga + art facilitator and water therapist who believes that diving into the spectrum of human emotions is the only way to live free. Anne’s sudden loss of her father in 2011 spurred her to explore the intersection of emotion and the creative arts, resulting in art projects such as The Ashes Project, TAPIN, Follow the Water, and her book of raw and unedited prose, Free to Feel. She draws on a decade of experience at global organizations such as Google and the World Economic Forum combined with expanded disciplines in Kundalini Yoga and meditation, Yoga Nidra, meditation, spoken word, community building, water healing and interactive art to craft experiences designed to unleash the power of emotions.

Anne guides corporations, communities and individuals to pursue emotional wellness through art, meditation, movement, writing, and other tools. With a Master’s from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, experience working and living in four countries, and fluency in four languages, Anne seamlessly translates her unique approach for audiences around the world. Her voice has been featured in various media outlets, from Huffington Post and the Today Show to GOOD Magazine and New York’s Village Voice.

Anne is certified in Kundalini Yoga, Art & Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Fluid Presence and uses water as a healing mechanism for people to connect with themselves.

Anne was born and raised in inner-city Milwaukee and has returned to the city that raised her after twenty years of living and working in Japan, Brazil, Argentina, New York and California to dedicate herself to promoting peace, reconnecting youth with the water and serving her Midtown and Milwaukee community.

Back to My Roots - MKE

In 2020, I returned home to the city that raised me, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After living and working in 3 different countries and 3 big cities, I felt called to do art and community building in the place of my roots. How I serve is driven by my mission to create spaces for people to be free to feel, heal authentically and create from the heart. And of course, work with water as the healing mechanism to complete this mission.
