Phillipe Wigger

Co-founder & co-lead of Curame · Event organiser & music lover

Hello, my name is Phillipe. I am a co-founder of Curame and someone who loves bringing people together, creating special experiences and celebrating life together.

What fills my heart and keeps inspiring me are the encounters between people. I believe that music, dance and shared experiences have a special power to connect us, open up new perspectives and bring us a little closer to ourselves.

With Curame I want to create spaces where people can simply be who they are. Spaces full of joy of life, openness, creativity and mutual respect. Through events, music, dance, ceremonies and workshops, we want to make encounters possible that reach beyond the moment.

For me, it is not only about organising beautiful events, but about letting a community grow in which we learn from each other, inspire each other and gather new experiences together.

I love bringing ideas to life, connecting people with different backgrounds and talents, and creating something special together.

My vision is a world in which we take more time for each other again, see our differences as an enrichment and shape life with more awareness, joy and connection.

Because it is often the simple moments we experience together that stay in our memory the longest.

Venus Muñoz

Co-lead of Curame

Rooted in ancestral wisdom, guided by nature, and inspired by the medicine within.

My name is Venus Muñoz, and I was born in Mexico, a land where nature has always been more than a landscape.

Today, my intention is to honor and share these teachings through ancestral prayers, plant wisdom, and traditional herbal preparations. Each offering is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and cultivate gratitude for the abundance that the Earth so generously provides.

I believe that plants are not simply resources, but living beings with whom we can cultivate a relationship of respect, reciprocity, and care.

My dream is to inspire others to rediscover the wisdom that already lives within them. To remember that healing is not only something we seek outside ourselves, but something we can awaken through presence, awareness, and connection.

Because deep within each of us, there is a medicine waiting to be remembered.
