Why I’m obsessed with self-actualization
I grew up in a small town in Greece where it seemed like, people had no dreams. Well, I had massive ones. The kind of dreams that burn you up inside if you don’t chase after them. The ones that bring you to tears before they’re even realized. The ones that keep you counting down days for 3 years, saving up money for 7 years, and the kind of future vision you’ll suck up anything for.
I dreamt my life like a scrapbook of experiences.
Shots of ecstasy, shots of awe. Then shots of mindfulness, - turns out that makes an even better blend.
I dreamt of a life shaped by different cultures, philosophies, and people’s stories. I was open to be influenced by spontaneous plans and strangers’ invitations in order to learn something new, think differently, be different. In order to get to the core of it all…
…And answer the big questions:
What’s the point?
What’s my purpose?
& Who am I?
Good news - If you know the thing you’re looking for is there, you will eventually find it! - I now have answers to all three! ;)

I knew that there must be more in life than what I was taught (or seen from examples) growing up. I knew there was greatness inside me. Potential. And I wouldn’t stop until I brought that to life.
That became my life’s mission.
I studied psychology to understand the nature of the mind, and when that didn’t do it, -when in fact my mind was so stressed that psychology and counselling failed- I found meditation! I realized that I am not my body but a soul residing inside it. That I am energy, as we all are and everything is. And on the path of seeking deeper into meditation, I stumbled upon yoga and even became a yoga teacher; Because when I taught yoga I would get x10 the benefits of yoga - we’re talking immense amounts of gratitude and presence on the day-to-day.
And then, like many other seekers of purpose, meaning, and self-realization,
I found psychedelics.
A modality I was called to ever since I read about them in 2015. I felt an instant knowing, as if I had finally found the missing piece to the puzzle of all those things I believed existed and was still looking for.
It did. I still am.
Everything I know now, everything I am, and everything I support others with has not been the result of any single tool or practice.
It has been the product of a 7-year journey in personal and spiritual development workshops across the world, learning the art of happiness and getting better at the practice of healing.
