Everybody has a story to tell:
here is mine
My Life in Words
My name is Christina Kottori.
​I grew up in Athens , the capital of beautiful Greece. My early years where filled with polarities.
A lot of insecurity and unsafety grew in me as a result of my parents getting a divorce when I was 3 and in the same time a lot of attention and love because of that.
I was an only child until my mother married again and then I had a sister when I was 9.
That created a new condition of motherhood in my early years meaning being a child I was called to raise a baby.
My teenage years were full of depression and suppression as the overprotective love from my family felt restrictive and manipulating sometimes violating as well.
I read my first book about human psychology when I was 15 and I knew from that point that I wanted to dive deeper into the understanding of myself. The deep pain I felt urged me to go deeper. Who am I?
I started my journey of self awareness when I was 21 . I decided to ask for help as I felt at a dead end.
My relationship back then was showing me the parts that I needed to heal. I felt blocked in my expression and in my sexuality. So I started therapy with my beloved Kiki, a woman that would stay in my life for 14 years.
After I finished my studies at the University of Peiraeus on Business Administration I worked at a summer job on a small island called Alonissos that would become my paradise.
Being on this island I experienced an awakening around what truly matters. I realized that no material wealth would make me happy. Nature, eros and community where actually the ingredients of my recipe for Paradise on Earth.
A year later I would embark on a journey to the unknown staying at Florence ,Italy with my Lithuanian friend Kristina. There I would experience a freedom I was missing. I would experience the careless life of a student that I had missed during my student years in Athens.
When I returned to Athens I became involved in politics and the green party. I became a political activist and explored a hippie lifestyle fighting for human and environmental rights.
Living Myth
Born and raised in Athens Greece, nurtured by the golden olive oil, nectar of the Gods and Goddesses, shaped by the Aegean waters, where Sirenes sing the mystic songs of the ancient ones and Nereids muse the waves.
Here, Persephone, holding the torch of love, shows the way to Hades, the Great Mystery.
Here, Athena distills the truth with her sharp wisdom and clarifies the field from unneeded battles.
Here, Aphrodite expands love through the echo of Eros and the beauty of her Heart.
Here, Zeus the universal master holds the presence of all beings.
Hellas, Greece means the land of Light and I, am a Hellenic Priestess, a wayshower to a new lineage of Light on Earth.

Several years later in 2012 I had another awakening when I attended a dramatherapy seminar about the Greek Goddesses. Artemis brought me a huge realization about my wounded femininity. That year, through the exploration of archetypes of Greek Goddesses I realized the power of woman circle and went back to work with the core mother wound.
I started also studying ancient Greek theatre that helped me heal parts of my blocked expression.
In 2014 I dropped theatre and politics and decided to make a new start.
In 2015 I travelled to Thailand and did a Yoga Teacher Training. On this little island of Koh Phangan, I experienced an extraordinary spiritual awakening and I felt a deep belonging I had never felt before.
In 2016 I returned to Thailand where I did a 6 weeks training called Mystical Dance. That training was about feminine embodiment and empowerment through dance, tantra and shamanic practices. After this 6 weeks I was a different person. I stayed in Thailand for almost 6 months and my life would change forever.
I felt freed from social conditioning and became aware of all of my core wounds.
The following years I continued travelling around the world , seeking new experiences and learning new healing modalities as well as meeting likeminded people from all over the world.
I travelled to India, Bali, Canada, Israel, France and Costa Rica.
In 2020 I came back to Greece where I stayed on Corfu island for 4 years.
​
All these beautiful experiences led me to who I am today.
I am here to help others liberate themselves from their own conditioning and pain.
I am here to be a guide for others towards self awareness and self realization.
I am here to support and empower others to become their own authentic selves.
As a Priestess I hold Temple journeys , ceremonies of deep remembrance, of resurrecting the spark, the spirit and once body and that is by entering back to the Temple, into the womb space, into the darkness and remember the absolute beauty, magic , potency, power it offers us.
There is a permission and allowance in Temple space to get to be fully seen in your vulnerability, opening your heart , feeling the expansion and awakening , letting go of any degree that is in the way of becoming your full potency.
Welcome home beloved heart,
I am here to support you and guide you into a mythical journey of self growth and expansion
Together we generate a new culture of Light to offer humanity another path,
a path of the Heart.
Together we enter the chambers of the Heart where Love, the infinite Source, resides.
“When a group of people gather together freely around a divine idea and begin to work on themselves in the direction of this idea, then, if there are enough of them, they carry within themselves all of humanity and they can make it evolve.
From their work emanates a communal spiritual strength, which is like a sun in the soul of the earth and of humanity.
This sun, in turn, works throughout time to attract the divine idea and to bring it to life within the reality of the earth.”
