I have always believed that what we seek is inside of us. A treasure to be discovered by listening our heart, love is the way to connect with our essence, holding the hand inside others, finding the road to our home, ascending together and sharing the path of growing.
My life has always been a search for the divine truth and a willing to find the garden of alchemy where all the prayers blossom.
I have Born in 1981, Studied Philosophy, Theater , Filmmaking, practiced Meditation, Sufism, Kabbalah, Amazonian Shamanism, Native American Red Path and ethnic Archaic music. I have learnt many ancient rhythmic patterns played with Al Kindi Ensemble gave concerts all around the world with my frame drum.
The Rhythms and the ancient tunes has opened a portal for me to tap into Music of Spheres.
During my travels in South America I met a lot of spiritual masters and learnt to work with the forces of Nature, self discovery and ancient healing techniques.
I worked with voice healers, composers and therapists , released an album in Spain called Spreading the wings, Organized many women circles and healing ceremonies of Toltec, Quechua, Mapuche, Amazonian and Lakota medicine.
Collecting different prayers and power songs from all around ancient paths which leads to devotion became my way to create and share a common language of love through music and dances of universal peace with my sacred instruments .
My life path is dedicated to open spaces to inspire lovers to find their unique essence to use self expression to create a harmonious community and build a conscious evolution.

Pure Blessing
Born in a sunny day in June 1989, as a love child.
Since I was a child, unconsciously I always tried my best to stay in the love direction, to stay in love, to be love. When they asked, “how I see myself in the future?” I could only say that “I wanna do something with my hands”.
So I followed my heart, I painted, created, studied Sculpture.
With practicing meditation and rituals, came the curiosity for nature, healing myself with/through nature and remembering that I am nature. I started to study herbs, the healing plants, smudging and started to get more aware by what I eat, drink, put on my skin, whom I connect, how to protect my energy, and these made me more connected with body, mind and spirit.
Through my journey on this earth, through my transformations, I started to believe the best education is through experience and the learning path never ends.
Nowadays I’m in a stage that I bring all of my experiences together to give birth to what I’m craving. To art, creating ceremony spaces, decorating, designing, doing rituals, connecting and many more to discover.
So excited to unify with you birds at this beautiful family gathering...
