Hi! I'm Marina.
– our interdependence with life’s grand forces has always fascinated me.
The Mystical and the Profane: I wanted it all, and still do. For me, there is nothing more worthwhile than exploring this apparent dichotomy.
While the interplay of these forces was always present in my life, I could say that in my 20’s my personal exploration pivoted towards sex. I started asking deep questions and was led onto wild, new paths. I was sexually explorative, had open relationships, lived in experimental communities, did (societally questionable) sexual healing work, studied yoga and traveled a lot.
Everything I was learning pointed me towards the ancient wisdom tradition of tantra. I was insatiable and wanted to know more while always putting into practice that which I had already learned.
Then I became a mother and a whole new world of womanhood opened up before me. These years of early motherhood and married life were the hardest and simultaneously the most rewarding years of my life. I lost myself, willingly in the role of a mother and unintentionally in codependent behavior and unhealthy relationship patterns.
Now in my late 30ies – with the kids bigger and separated from their father – my interest is leaning towards the exploration of awareness. I found Non-dual Shaiva Tantra and with it finally the context and deep understanding of the tradition that I had been looking for.
In more recent years I have trained in Somatic Experiencing, energy healing, coaching and astrology while all the while feeling ever more drawn to the creative act of writing.
Having gone through harrowing hardship and empty darkness I have learned to appreciate the gift of life, the face of the Goddess, in all its scary and sparkling richness and vow to continue doing so as well as supporting others to do so. Today, I live a deeply grateful life in Costa Rica where I raise my two boys, dance, laugh, grief and create.
Not one step is taken in isolation and I am deeply grateful for the richness and immense wisdom, generosity and love of great souls who inspire me and help me birth myself over and over again.
Among my beloved teachers and mentors are Francesca Redden, Ernest Morrow, Christopher Wallis with Tantra Illuminated, Chameli Ardagh with Awakening Women Institute, Gitanjali Hemp with Syntara System, Adam Elenbaas with Nightlight Astrology, Diana Richardson, Olivia Byrant with Self:Cervix as well as Marion Rose with Aware Parenting.
I want to express particular gratitude to my mother Angelika “Angel”, my guardian elder, my lifeline, my cheerleader
– I am forever grateful for you.
