Who am I ?

I was born in Greece and had the chance to grow with principles of freedom, spend summer time close to nature and live on basic needs. My parents were not hippies, nor extremely conscious at that time, but they gave me what I needed to enable me flying away from home at a very young age. I was a kind child, discerning and straight forward and this often created intense reactions towards me. My only way to have the space I needed to explore myself and find my own way was to leave home and, later on, my country.

My love for life together with my admiration towards nature and my intellectual capacities brought me to study Biology and then specify in Neurosciences. Through my studies I travelled within Greece, France, Canada and Switzerland. And I am still travelling.

The human brain is the most sophisticated organ nature ever created. Its biological function together with the psychological outcomes so unique for each one of us, triggered a big quest in my life : to thoroughly understand how all this works. I was not afraid of challenges or difficulties, I was motivated by them! Life replied to my calling for knowledge with a long series of adventures that did not give me the answers right away but rather armed me with the capacity to learn even more than I have ever imagined.

"I asked God for flowers and he gave me rain"

Today this phrase resonates in me so strongly : once you plant the seed of a flower and keep the intention to have a flower blossoming out of it, all you need from nature is rain. In that way, instead of just one flower this seed will one day become an eternal field of flowers, constantly rebirthing and expanding. Isn't that much better than a short-lived bouquet ?

My story began with a very scientific perspective as this is the first and most credible truth the mind can conceive.

I also grew up in a culture that always looked up to great minds and philosophers. So I started my challenges with hard core science, went on to a doctorate degree and post-doctorate experience to end up with a great paradox that would make me depressed : the more I learned the more I'd realise that we know nothing in reality. And a major key piece was missing from the puzzle, and I couldn't find peace inside or joy or satisfaction.

At that point I started doing yoga.

And something started stirring up in me urging me to go deeper. And I did. And I found that missing piece of the puzzle. So I am humbled before creation today, I am in love with all existence, I see beauty in every soul and I finally feel ready to marry the mind with the heart and share that with you.

Hoping that this can stir up something in you as well.
