This is us...
...Isabella and Hannah (from left to right)
We met at the Wild Naya Handpan Academy and bonded over our love of handpans.
Since we both describe ourselves as talented organisers, it quickly became clear in 2024 that we wanted to create an inspiring event together, full of learning, growth and community.

The Team
Hannah Schork | Organiser
Hannah is a yoga teacher, coach and podcast host for cycle-conscious living. She runs her own small yoga studio in Frankfurt am Main, in an old nursery where she also grows her own vegetables and medicinal herbs. Through her deep connection to nature and Mother Earth, she creates calm and relaxed spaces for personal development. She previously worked as an IT project manager for many years and was involved in New Work. Organisation is therefore in her blood.
She only came across the handpan in 2023, when she helped organise the Wild Naya Handpan Academy. But it was love at first sight. A week full of music triggered so much in her and helped her overcome inner blockages – she wants to pass this on with PanParadise.

Esther
Esther Bergman | Organizational support
Esther lives in Maastricht (the Netherlands) with her husband and two children.
She heard a handpan played live for the first time in the spring of 2024. By autumn of that same year, she was able to obtain her own. Never having played an instrument before, she surprised herself by her passion for learning to play the handpan.
As a participant of PanParadise 2025, she was further motivated by the welcoming community. Being a project manager (in Health Care) in her professional live, it was a small step towards joining the PanParadise team in creating a wonderful event again.
Mareike Hofmeier | Social Media
The handpan came into Mareike’s life four years ago. So much has happened since then on her musical and personal journey that she would never want to be without this instrument in her life.
This blend of mystical, meditative sounds and, at the same time, driving beats and rhythms enchants Mareike anew every day. For her, music is a connection to oneself and to others, pure emotion and a language of the heart in its own right.
As a qualified teacher (mathematics and PE), an educator, and a lover of music and nature, she would like to share these passions with others and facilitate an intuitive, individual approach to music. Furthermore, she loves creating together with other people and through the arts, and opening up musical spaces. Music is a profound form of communication without words and creates connections on many levels... Mareike wants to encourage people to discover their own musicality and their own rhythm.
Through music and her journeys, both inward and outward, she has met wonderful people and looks forward to making new connections. 🪷🫶

Michal
Michal | BRAMARI | Handpan Rental
BRAMARI – musician, producer and teacher.
He is one half of the duo BRASKA, a project he shares with singer Joanna Markowska. Together, they also founded the Bramari Handpan Academy, which has grown to become the largest handpan school in southern Poland.
Bramari's artistic journey began with a youthful fascination with electronics. This initial spark, fuelled by his desire to create sounds independently, led him to explore a wide range of live instruments and various synthesizers. After years of immersing himself in electronic music and experimenting with different genres and instruments, he became completely captivated by the unique sound of the handpan, which quickly became his greatest passion. He is always interested in collaborating with artists from different musical backgrounds, as he is inspired by their collective energy.
