Flosha

I am Flosha. I attempt to train myself externally and internally, seeing Acrobatics as my Sadhana, while writing about what I learn. I try to explain and to promote ideas, to develop an "anti-entertainment" game and search for ways to liberate myself from money.
In the Sarvodaya Network I want to show how in the philosophy of Vinoba, in which I found my own, spiritual practice and revolutionary zeal can (and should always go) hand in hand. It is meant for everyone interested in spirituality and everyone interested in changing the world.
The AcroLib is a project, in which I collect all my thoughts and experiences in training acrobatics and collect open source ressources. It also contains an "International Glossary" of acrobatic terms, in which I explain acrobatic terminology, including words from different acrobatic cultures around the world.
We describe Phoenix as "a radically immersive action rpg that sucks less" and as a "gothic drama". Externally it is a video game based on the original vision for GOTHIC (2001) as it has been imagined in 1995 to 1999. It takes the form of a drama, clad in the robe of a particular gothic aesthetics. It can basically be seen as an interactive book, which a few friends and myself put all of our passion and philosophy into. It is a game that isn't meant to entertain, trying to transcend the medium.

The "Disentangler of Confusion" (original German name: "Entflechter der Wirrnis") was once my attempt to write a book in which I basically tried to disentangle all the confusion that I had about life. I started writing it when I was about 19. But I was never satisfied and it never ended, or in other words, I wasn't able to disentangle my confusion. In 2026 I re-envisioned it in form of an ongoing collection of reflections. It doesn't have to disentangle all the confusion, it is already worthwile when it disentangles a little of it and can serve others as it serves me. You may consider it as a blog, with an index that grows over time, in which the entries are updated whenever I change my mind or discover anything new; you may also see it as a book in progress, written in public. Coming soon.
I am designing websites since I am about 12 years old. Most of it I thaught myself and learned on behalf of Phoenix. The website here and all the websites that I link to on this personal page have been made by me. Here I show all of my websites that are currently online, describe how I make them and why, describe my webdesign philosophy and give you the opportunity to reach out if you want a website for yourself or your own project. Coming soon.
The Gothic Archive is a subproject of Phoenix. It is a collection of pre-release material to the videogame GOTHIC that Phoenix is based on. We collected all of this material in course of many years on behalf of the development of Phoenix, which is inspired by all of these old and almost forgotten ideas for a game that has never been made in the way it has been envisioned and promoted. We decided to present it to the public in form of a website, so that others too can get an idea of what GOTHIC was once about.
Sometimes I make photos, mostly portraits or acrobatics. Some of them I have collected here. My photos give a little glimpse into the world of some of the most skillful acrobats in the world today. Coming soon.
SinY is an online coaching team, founded by Galina Sinyavskaya and Olga Yatsenko from Ukraine. Galina is an acrobatic gymnastics coach in the National Team of Ukraine. I consider her as my teacher, have learned endless things from training under her and witnessing her coaching style, training structure and her particular approach to coach handstands. In theory I also coach handstands and other acrobatic balancing skills online, but currently I have no clients and little time.
Sometimes I make sketches or little drawings, sometimes I spin and weave some rough scarves or blankets. Sometimes I build something with wood. Everything related to physical and digital art (which is not put into Phoenix) and craft I put into here. Coming soon.
(A)social media sucks. Surveillance sucks. Digital abuse sucks. Manipulative algorithms suck. Ads suck. Anything claiming to be "social" while actually being nothing but for-profit driven greed sucks. fsocial takes a stand against it. We try to inform about the dangers of social media, why you shouldn't use it, why you should boycott big tech corps making money with data and what you can do instead.
