Iceland Watermelons and a Horse Called Spark
Newsletter from February 16, 2026
Hi dear student,
I am so thrilled to share with you the official release of my newest book: “Icelandic Watermelons and a Horse Called Spark”. Four years (or actually a lifetime) in the making, it is my sincere and very personal offering to a world in need of slowing down, integrity, and finding our way back to a soulful, compassionate, and sustainable way of living.
It might seem that my main effort over the last few years has been to pass on the lore of making wooden puppets in our online community. Our marvelous students, though, know that there is a deeper level to devoting time learning a craft and living the life of an Artist. It offers grounding, enhances awareness, reminds us to breathe and find our secure and purposeful place in an increasingly challenging and fast-spinning world.
I have shared elements of the books with you in my Newsletters or during our free online Masterclasses and read some chapters for my students in our online school. Now it is finally available for everyone.
No fancy launch, no splashy promotion, just a silent and sincere book release for everyone who might be interested in reading the contemplations of a passionate puppeteer living on a little island close to the Arctic Circle.
“One of the best and most enlightening books I’ve ever read! It will get you to truly slow down, breathe, and think about the important things in life. The stories Bernd shares will stick with you long after you read them, and you’ll be thinking about what your next adventure should be just to appreciate the world and nature as much as he does. Funny, loving, purely wonderful.” – Lauren Eckhardt
May I introduce you to: “An Alphabetic Survival Manual for the 21st Century – Icelandic Watermelons and a Horse Called Spark”, available now on Amazon.

Sending warmest regards from the Whalefjord in Iceland,
Bernd
