Overview
About Me
Back after a looong break. 06.04.24
I'm originally from Tirana (Albania), I grew up in Trieste (Italy), I have lived in Spain, Belgium and I spent relevant time in France and UK. So, multiculturalism is my first feature.
My background includes Musical Studies, Humanities, Political science, Personal Development, Holistic Practices (Yoga, Meditation, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Ho'oponopono..). I have explored many paths: philosophy, anthropology, psychology, religion, physics, arts, neurosciences, etc. When I had enough about western, "mainstream" knowledge, I started learning more about holistic disciplines and oriental philosophies/religions. That path of self-discovery, started when I was a teenager, led me to gain a wide understanding of human nature and building tools to navigate the complexity of modern life, by mixing ancient and modern knowledge.
I am passionate about regenerative practices, culture and sustainability. Currently, planning a professional reconversion and re-organizing my skills, while exploring different life-styles, more in synch with natural elements and my chore values.
I love wild nature, animals, children, traveling, singing, dancing, hiking..
and every situation or people with positive vibe and full of life. I dance Argentinian Tango and I practice Yoga and meditation.
I'm an artist, teacher, ex event organizer - fluent in 5 languages -, holistic life coach, systemic constellations' and women's circle facilitator, with a background in humanities, music, dance, yoga, meditation and more than 25 years of personal research, studies, workshops and practice on personal development and holistic approaches.
PHILOSOPHY
"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the rest of the world calls a butterfly."
"Know yourself".
