the curriculum of Tending the Sacred Flame has been a guiding light in my life. I am incredibly honored to share it with you as we renew our vows to life- as the most self accountable, discerning, heart centered, protected, aligned, joyful and genuine versions of ourselves — proficient in the mandatory senses and spiritual training these times call for.
As the world seemingly crumbles, we are reminded of a flame that's been burning since before time
A flame destined to illuminate the darkness

crossing thresholds of initiation as communities is a concept older than time — revered by our ancestors who knew these rites of passage as necessary and sacred to the evolving human. we embark on a journey to re-stitch this ancient intelligence back into our modern lives.
these teachings bridge the sacred with the mundane, piercing veils of programmed illusion & superficiality. when approached with sincerity & reverence, they carry the potential to truly transform us from the inside out. they are equally practical as they are cosmic - requiring discernment, courage & self responsibility.

𓇣 roots/ρίζες 𓇣
i was born near the sarasota stargate of indigenous seminole land, in current day florida, of greek parents whose parents immigrated from various parts of greece and called egypt home along the way.
I have had intuitive gifts since childhood, as we are naturally inclined to. after recalling particularly poignant and useful past life memories, going through an enormously difficult journey of maturing into adulthood, I have found incredible mentors, teachers, animal guides, spirit guides and ancestors along the way who’ve helped me refine my natural gifts and taught me so much about being in service to others with integrity, safety and coherence.
I’ve journeyed to the ancient land of Egypt annually since 2021 where many of my gifts were re-membered and sharply refined, along with moving to my ancestral home in the mediterranean and resurrecting dormant ancestral gifts of my lineage. among them are a sense of direct cognition, a sense of premonition, natural healing abilities, past life experience as a birth and death doula, messenger between realms and mediator. I have received teachings and directions in the dream world that bridge the practical with the cosmic. I work closely with particular bird spirits who support in my healing sessions. I’ve been working with them since 2019 and not spoken of this online, as it’s a very sacred and protected tradition I don’t know anyone else to carry in this way.
I have 8 years of experience holding sacred space in online sessions and courses, hosting extended retreats, women’s circles, group workshops, being assistant to large groups undergoing profound transformation in egypt. my official training includes:
—400 hours of ‘yoga teacher training’ + trauma informed approach, beginning in 2016
—1 year training & apprenticeship with a prominent western astrologer + the experience of giving over 300 professional astrology readings since 2018
—mentorship with multiple amazing wisdom keepers since 2019 who’ve taught me a variety of techniques & traditions- exposing me to psychic surgery and authentic native american ceremonies
—a 3 year training and ordination steeped in: death doula training, exorcism, marriage counseling & officiation, working with elements, guides & guardians, temple mysteries of egypt, ancient healing modalities, cord cutting, protection & purification, ceremonial leadership, dream training, baby blessing, consecrating homes, oracular training, qigong fundamentals & more.
I believe that as long as we’re on earth, the training never ends, and neither does the fun. we are both the teacher and the student, and life is the ultimate mystery school. I am honored to continue learning and growing with this gorgeous cohort of souls.
With gratitude, love & excitement,

ancient mother goddess
This song began being sung as a prayerful invitation to the women who were to join us in crete during the autumn 2023 gathering. they came, and in spring of 2024, many of them returned for the 2nd and 3rd time. during our time together in nature, the prayer song grew as voices were layered & harmonies laid.
It’s with absolute amazement that i share the ‘theme song’ of the mana yi academy, which is simply the temple space we gather to venerate the teachings of love & life - both virtually & in our retreat gatherings.
may the love of the divine mother & father always be with you.
deep gratitude to Zin, rose, isabelle, beth, christina, megan & yasmine for their collaboration & participation in co-creating this beautiful song.
