I am an author, group therapist, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY) therapist, journalist, and curator. I teach Integral Yoga and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY), facilitate singing workshops (Bulgarian and Balkan songs, Small Songs, and Healing Singing), lead self-exploration groups, and develop cultural projects at the intersection of memory, community, and healing.

In 2023, my book  ” The Ahr Valey of Compassion. 89 Fragments of life after the floods”. 

was published.

I practice a form of reflective journalism in which research, memory and personal experience meet. My own subjectivity is not something I try to hide; it is part of the way I make sense of the world.

I see the core of my work as Memory Work. Over the past years, I have developed and facilitated projects in Bulgaria, Germany, and Cuba that explore memory, collective experience, and social transformation.

From 2005 to 2021, I was co-curator and director of the international GOATMILK MEMORIES FESTIVAL in the small Bulgarian village of Gorna Bela Rechka. There I learned how art, traditional culture, and shared remembrance can bring together people from very different backgrounds—and how cultural work can help us understand the past while shaping the present together.

The voice is one of my most important working tools. My practice is interdisciplinary, combining group analysis, trauma-sensitive bodywork, journalism, artistic practice, and cultural work. I completed my training in Group Analysis between 2008 and 2014 with the International Working Association for Group Analysis (IAG) in Altaussee, Austria.

I am particularly interested in the power of the past, individual and collective trauma, memory and compassion, women and migration, and new forms of community. Again and again, my work returns to the same question:

How can people reconnect—with themselves, with one another, and with their own history?
