Overview
About Me
"Deep in the ancient forests,
atop the glorious mountains,
in stillness, silence and grace...
fairy sisters, reliving the old ways
From Serbia,
land full of secrets,
where wolves and bears
still walk the forests and mountains
a battlefield
where the East and the West collide..."

I come from a Slavic Orthodox Country with ancient history and deep, spiritual life the West knows little about...
but for many years during my teens and early twenties, I have been deeply into Eastern philosophy, buddhism, vipassana meditation...
After high school I have spent a few years travelling, volunteering, hitchhiking in Eastern European Countries.
Then I went into feminine embodiment and Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science - antrophosophy. My work since 2018 revolves around women empowerment, ancestral and trauma healing, through mindfulness, bodywork and fusion of various modalities.
I am an artist and a certified Slavic Gymnastics for Women Instructor, somatic therapist and regression therapist, leading Women Circles with embodiment practices, womb healing and bodywork.
We use breath, voice, movement, touch and art, as well as depth psychology and astrology to transmute stuck energy, emotions and negative patterns.
Apart from basic education in drawing, painting, design and sculpting I have spent a lot of time learning traditional handicrafts such as crochet, knitting, weaving, felting, sewing ect. I love sharing this knowledge but also expanding it by learning from those who are more experienced!
I love all things esoteric, as well as mythological, psychological, alternative and natural. I have explored different systems such as Human Design, Mayan and Chinese Horocope, Slavic Horoscope, Western and Vedic Astrology, Feng Shui, Yoga, Neotantra, Waldorf Pedagogy.. some more than the others.
In the past years, I have been drawn more and more to eurithmy, the art of modern, mystery dance and want to travel to California, Weed, to visit one particular eurithmy school. I am working towards this goal financially and would like to achieve studying eurithmy either in California or in Dornah, Switzerland, before birthing children. I still have plenty of time, but it it ticking :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music, Books and Movies would be an extremely long list. I can't keep it simple, the world is full of very good music, books, and movies! :)
I enjoy Gabor Mate's, Peter Lavigne's, Rudol Steiner and Carl Jung's work, psychological, phylosophical, esoteric, antroposophic or mythological literature, but also epic fantasy, science fiction and Japanese Anime.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I did not speak - for months.
I have learnt a whole new language, just to study Slavic Yoga for Women!
Okay, that's two :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach Serbian or Russian alphabet, traditional handicrafts, drawing or painting, using wild edibles as food, Slavic yoga for women, different somatic experiencing, embodiment, breathwork or shadow integration practices.
I can share wild stories and liberating worldviews, I cook delicious food! :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
Immense gratitude and good fortune that comes by doing good to others.
It depends on the situation, how long I stay and what my hosts are interested in!
