Today we’d like to introduce you to Anya I.
Hi Anya, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I was feeling lost, and I longingly wanted to reconnect with my heart and my soul. It wasn’t until I danced around a bonfire under a full moon in December 2019 that my incredible journey of empowerment, accountability, community, and spirituality began. I finally returned home.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Learning to look at and embrace every single side of myself was a challenge. Being able to look at myself in the mirror, or connecting with a full moon and telling myself “I deserve better” can still be difficult. Learning how to show up for myself with love and compassion but also understanding as well as healing my shadow self and my traumas to become empowered and fearless. Once I finally embraced being in a community, having the freedom to express myself authentically and be apart of a loving community changed my world.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I record Youtube videos for my blog: The Season of Anya, and give my community tools and advice on how to heal our hearts and souls by living a spiritually balanced life through learning about Yoga, Magick and Witchcraft. My popular topics give viewers an understanding of working with the seasons such as the autumn/spring equinox, and the winter/summer solstice as well as other pagan days of importance. Each season brings on different energies we can work with and different lessons in spirituality learn from and can use to enrich our every day lives.
When we learn how to connect with the land and listen to the whispers of Spirit, we begin to understand how to live a life of balance and of spiritual harmony. Our experience here on this earth how we grow from our life experiences is our story to tell; we can create an incredibly beautiful life here on this earth so long as we remember to listen to Sprit and give back to our communities.
I plan to start hosting witchy yoga retreats where participants will learn how to have fun again as well as yoga sessions, group discussion, and witchy spiritual workshops and empowerment rituals.
I am also wrapping up my first book that is essentially a spiritual self help book that gives you practical advice on how to learn how to heal yourself and how to show up in the world differently through building an incredible mind body and soul connection with Yoga, Spirituality, and Witchcraft. Currently shopping for publishers, wish me luck!
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Give yourself the opportunity to stand under the next full moon and make a vow to yourself. Connect with your heart and get lost in the moon’s beautiful aura and dare to make a change in your life. Then put in the hard work of the daily grind in order to make that change happen. Make it known that you are the only one holding yourself accountable for that change, and decide how badly you truly want it. If you dare to dream, then keep making showing up for every full moon to recommit to your dreams and your life will never be the same.
