Aleksandra Nimue Kosakowska
My consciousness path started from studying cultural anthropology. Becoming to know different cultures and their ways of living, I realized that the one that the Western civilization has created is just one of many and it's not the most healthy one.
While studying and later also teaching anthropology, I was deeper and deeper falling in love with the primal cultures. Their understanding of Nature, knowledge about the body, spiritual awarness and ability to celebrate life, gained my greatest respect. It also awakened the inside longing. For natural living, for comunity, for celebration in harmony with the nature, for knowing my true nature and manifesting it.
The longing took me to study massage, medical techniques from Far East and participate in shamanic and permaculture workshops. It also inspired me to explore womanhood. I understood that it's by supressing female qualities that we created a culture that goes against the Nature and it's by supporting them that we can bring our society back to harmony.
Studying, exploring and writing about all these things was great, but at some point Life told me that there was time to really experience something. I was 28 (in 2008), when I met my spiritual mother, Etira, and inspired by her story I left my home-town and a teacher job in Olsztyn (Poland) and went hitchhiking through Europa. I felt ready to experience that when you surrender to Life, it takes you exactly where you belong (at the moment) and give you exactly what you need (for now).
I didn't know where I was going, but after some time of traveling I found myself in Amsterdam, where Etira used to live at that moment. Staying with her and her partner for about half a year, I've learned a lot about living in freedom and working with the body. After our paths went apart I felt strong enough to start my own "Freedom Journey" practice, offering massage, bodywork and workshops for women.
Invited to cooperate with Art of Loving in 2010 I found myself at Aardenwerkvakantie
this way discovering great, though temporary, community way of living. There I also met Salvador. Aardenwerk became my family in Holland and Salvador my partner in exploring tantra, natural ways of living and surrendering to the Spirit guidance.
In the summer 2013 I followed Birth Into Being training with Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova, this way becoming to know the most profound way of aligning with my essence and healing. Many things started coming together and after some time of living in Rhenen together with Salvador and creating together Body Consciousness - Earth Consciousness, I took initiative to organize Body - Earth - Love Festival on my land in Poland the last summer. It was the most magical summer I could have imagined. So magical that I decided to stay here for good and make The Dragons' Nest my home :)
