Before our Breakings, Annika and I were exceptional people, but still living in the reality that most people share. Want to find out more? Check us out.

Pre-Breaking:

Aaron: Aaron Bigeleisen is a modern renaissance man. Aaron began his professional career at the age of sixteen as an award-winning classical singer, ranking number one in the United States in his age group, and being awarded the Presidential Medal in the Arts, an award given to only 10 artists a year. After graduating with a degree in Vocal Performance, an independent research degree, and German and Movement minors, Aaron became a personal growth junkie. He participated in a four year, 1200 hour Alexander Technique teacher training through The Alexander Technique School of Philadelphia, and has done more personal growth, shadow work, inner child, and movement workshops than he would care to admit. 

Aaron is also a professional educator and community leader; He was an adjunct professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, ran an entire high school music department by himself, and has done private voice, Alexander Technique, and coaching. he became a men’s work facilitator in 2021, and founded an urban intentional community based on the values of men’s work, hosting bi-weekly men’s work circles, potlucks, community concerts and personal growth events. He also started a community permaculture garden in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. 

Pre-Breaking:

Annika: Annika Mongan is a certified badass. She founded two intentional communities, one urban and one land-based. She is a graduate of Multnomah University with a degree in Theology, with a focus on ancient Biblical languages, and was the first ever female recipient of the Excellence in Theology and Biblical Studies award as well as the first person to ever receive two national awards, namely the Excellence in Bible and Theology award in addition to the one mentioned above. She is an ordained minister, has been a leader in the Reclaiming witchcraft tradition, and is a recent convert to Judaism. She has worked in soup kitchens, founded ministries, hosted new and full moon rituals, has been a nationally touring musician, and so much more. Annika also has been a translator and guest speaker for events as far-ranging as Pagan festival and conventions, to Jesus Freak festivals and large Christian conferences (rubbing elbows, sharing stages, and discussing theology with a long list of well-known theologians/thealogians and famous authors) . She also had the #1 rated blog in the religion section of Patheos, called The Bornagain Witch. She is trained as a ZEGG Forum facilitator, has done two levels of Authentic Relating training, circling facilitation training, and a whole host of other personal growth/spiritual healing workshops.
