Vika Matuzaite

About:

I’m a trainer/ facilitator, a community organiser, activist and DJ. I love when all those worlds intersect and am passionate in doing so myself through connection, vulnerability and authenticity. Creating spaces of any size for genuine dialogue, mutual support, care and empathy building is what drives me. I have found that the NFE universe is the most suitable for that (both from a perspective of flexibility of practices, but also from a value standpoint)!

Vika Matuzaite has 3 references for past work as a trainer.
