Nina Dreher-Göddertz

CZT EU4

Hi, I’m Nina – so happy you’re here! I discovered the Zentangle® Method in 2020 and instantly fell in love. Since becoming a CZT in 2021, I’ve had the joy of teaching classes worldwide, both online and in person. My journey has taken me to CZTAE™, Zenacity™ in Singapore, the Conzentric team, ZenAgain™ by Zentangle Inc., Musterquelle, and soon to Zentastic Tokyo. Each of these experiences continues to inspire and connect me with the global Zentangle community. When I’m not tangling, you’ll find me close to nature, with my horses, or spending time with my family and friends. And of course, I’ve always had a passion for pens, paper, and all things creative – they’ve been my companions since childhood. With my background in fitness and meditation, I love bringing creativity, calm, and joy into every class I teach. Hosting my first retreat, Oasis of Zen in my hometown of Zons in 2026, is a dream come true – blending my love for Zentangle, community, and the magical atmosphere of this medieval town on the Rhine. I hope my courses spark your creativity, bring you inspiration, and fill your heart with plenty of Zen. With love, Nina 🤍
