study groups

In today’s world, artificial intelligence gives us access to an overwhelming amount of information at previously unimaginable speed. It’s a significant milestone in the evolution of how we share and receive knowledge. However, this development also comes with a tendency toward consuming information quickly and superficially—processed in just a matter of seconds. To bring more balance into our society, I believe there is a need for spaces that encourage deeper understanding and personal connection.

 

Move Empowered is a space for meaningful study and self-discovery, centered around topics like relationships, success, creativity, self-worth, and high sensitivity. We explore these concepts in small, focused study groups using carefully selected books. Each session invites participants to reflect on key ideas together, relate them to their own life experiences, and engage in conscious group dialogue. This process of shared contemplation helps transform knowledge into lived wisdom—fostering real growth and inner resilience.

Here are the study groups I offer:

You are not
what happens to you

Our natural emotional state is that moment of calm and peace when we just know that everything is okay—and we feel a subtle or strong impulse to act, to do something that not only benefits us but also the people around us.

 

When life brings us experiences that don’t match what we had imagined, that feel unfair or undeserved, we feel a deep sense of confusion and an urgency to shift the course of that experience so it aligns more with what we had hoped for.

 

Resilience is a skill we can develop that helps us return to our natural emotional state—the one where we know that all is well. The foundation for building resilience is knowing our identity. Like water, which can shift into ice, vapor, or liquid, you too can transform a thousand times—but you never stop being who you are.

 

We tend to pay attention to everything that happens to us in life, but we rarely choose what to focus on intentionally. Our attention is often undisciplined—it's the external circumstances that dictate where it goes. Resilience also has a lot to do with our ability to direct our attention, to consciously choose what internal or external things we want to give our energy and focus to.

 

My work is based on practical, hands-on tools that allow us to track and evaluate our resilience over time. I use techniques grounded in observation and direct experience.

about

Natalia Villanueva García

Some careers follow a straight line. Mine has been a symphony—composed in movements, driven by intuition, and shaped by both ambition and reinvention.

 

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, into a family of entrepreneurs where dreaming was expected—but building was the real art. At 18, I left everything I knew and moved to Vienna. I didn’t speak the language. I didn’t have a plan. But I had music—and a vision I couldn’t yet explain.

Just two years later, I became a mother. While completing my studies, building an international music career, and launching my own ventures, I was also raising my son—who today continues to be one of my greatest sources of growth, reflection, and grounding.

In 2012, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and received the mdw Recognition Award. That same year, I founded the Max Steiner Orchestra, Austria’s first symphony orchestra dedicated to film and video game music. A bold idea that captured international attention, leading to an invitation to the Cannes Film Festival in 2013.

 

Since then, I’ve collaborated with world-renowned artists like Hans Zimmer, Anna Netrebko, Alexandre Desplat, David Newman, Danny Elfman, James Horner, and Andrew Lloyd Webber—experiences that sharpened my ability to lead complex music productions with clarity, precision, and emotional depth.

 

In recognition of my creative leadership, I was honored by the President of Colombia as one of the 100 most successful Colombians abroad.

 

But even as I built a life at the center of the music world, I felt called to something more inward-facing. I wanted to understand what really sustains human creativity—not just on stage, but in life.

 

In 2018, I completed an MBA in project management at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. In 2022, I added another layer—earning an academic certificate in Spirituality in the Psychosocial Professions at Sigmund Freud University. 

 

Since 2023, I’ve served as a faculty lecturer at MUK Music and Arts University of Vienna, guiding students in film and commercial music as they discover their own creative voices.

 

I also contribute to leadership and community as a board member of the Female Leaders Network at the WU Executive Academy and the Network of International Women in Austria (NIWA).

 

Now, I bring it all together in MOVE EMPOWERED—an initiative dedicated to resilience, emotional clarity, and personal transformation. Because somewhere along the way, I realized: the real work is not just in what we create, but in how we hold ourselves through transformation.
