I navigated a fulfilling international career within the Arts, Culture, and Education sectors for fifteen years, spanning from Europe to Asia via Amsterdam, Singapore, Italy and Slovenia.
Having settled in London, I successfully managed several interdisciplinary research projects where I came to experience that even if institutional spaces offer a degree of wellbeing programmes, the day-to-day responsibilities that often require multitasking over a long period of time, can easily result in physical and emotional burnout.
Amidst a personally challenging period, I came to realise it was time for a profound shift. During that time, I have lost several family members and my connection to family roots became shaken. This has triggered a deep transformational healing process, which has evolved into a creative practice and a marriage. Along this path, my love for sound re-emerged as a guiding force, revealing the interconnectedness between our bodies and the resonance of the Earth as Universe's manifestation.
In 2018 I enrolled into a course called Situated Practice where I researched relational poetical methodologies and have practiced attunement to Nature as an-other-than human element in our environments discovering its vibration as site specific practice. During this time, I also trained as a Sound Energy Medicine & Nada Yoga practitioner under the guidance of Lola Lhamo from the Vibroacoustic Therapy Association. While still in this process and a few years later during Covid lockdown, I relearned to engage with music and ambient soundscapes. After that the love for dance brought me to attend movement and improvisation dance classes where I sharpened my intuition through embodied practice.
Through this journey of self-discovery encompassing dreamwork, sound, and movement, I learned to embrace synchronicity and have listened to the calling of my inner space manifested through NEJA TARA. Neja, as my sounding name and Tara as the divine deity in Buddhist mythology and as the greenest magical river that runs through the land of my family roots.
This creation is fuelled by the desire to be of service and transmit the healing vibrations of sound, bridging the gap between Body and Spirit. With this, I hope to lighten up and connect each individual to its earthly, energetic and cosmic bodies.
