ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Hi there! I’m Simona.
In the music scene, I’m known as Apsarā, and on the spiritual path, I guide as Sumanā. My mission is to be a bridge: to distill and share the living wisdom traditions of the East in a way that resonates with the modern West.
My wisdom comes from immersion and not just instruction. While I hold academic degrees in Indian Classical Music, Jazz, and Indology, the true essence of my work was forged through direct experience: years living in ashrams, visiting important temples and sacred places, learning from masters and gurus and of course doing my own research and sādhana (spiritual practise).
I integrate this journey into everything I share. It is through these pathways of wisdom that I seek to inspire and guide you on your journey back to wholeness, a sacred re-membering of your true Self:

The philosophy of sound, Dhrupad,
Sanskrit, Mantra, and the power of the voice.

Vedanta, Meditation, and Yoga.

Ayurveda, Jyotish, and Indian philosophy.

Healing arts.
