Welcome beautiful soul, it’s so nice you found your way to us!
I’m Alexia, the creative energy behind the Conscious Collective. Although we have a physical location in the quaint village of Finikaria, in Limassol - Cyprus, there are many practices, offerings and gatherings that take place in other spaces, places and realms! I invite you to take your time exploring what has been so lovingly curated and birthed into being across this site.
My personal story, just as many personal stories do, encompasses numerous re-births and transformations within this lifetime alone. There are timelines within this, that have stood out as being moments of profound truth, shaping the direction of my life into where I find myself now. Everything constantly flows, such is the nature of the cosmos and it is the flexibility we bring to these constant life movements that make us the ultimate yogis, the masters of living this embodied dream.
I can not share a story of awakening with you, as I never forgot my divine nature. As a child I had friends in various realms, so strong was this connection that my mother used to set the table for us at dinner, including placemats for my invisible friends every night. It was a blessing to have had an awakened mother, as it allowed me the space to keep my clairaudience and develop my clairvoyance. Bringing into this lifetime the injuries of a previous one, my hips and feet where affected on a physiological level and I was born with dysplasia. I spent my infant and toddler years in a pavlik harness and once removed, had to learn how to walk in a straight line. My mother, a yogi herself, ensured I got support from a trained friend who became my first yoga teacher. Yoga naturally became a part of my life, at first to help with my walking and posture but as I grew into a more troubled teenager, yoga became a gateway to my spirituality.
At age 17 and while working as a waitress at the local rock club, I met a shaman. It was not unusual to meet interesting personalities at that place, people from all walks of life would come to listen to some good live music and the energy was relaxed and welcoming. It was the first time I had come across the term shaman or even heard about energy and I was instantly drawn to exlpore this mystical world further. I spent months listening, learning, and practising energetics. It came naturally to me, I knew things I hadn’t realised I had known before. I remembered past lives and saw parts of this one in its future. By the end of my twenties I had moved to Nepal and was learning all about the rituals and mythologies of hinduism. Living with a Brahman and his wife, I learned about pooja, the essential part of any Hindu in showing reverence and making a connection to the divine, through song, ritual, prayer. Prem taught me about the Gita and we spent countless frosty Kathmandu nights analysing the deeper meaning of passages in the Vedic scriptures. And Minu, taught me how to care for an altar during our daily morning pooja as well as cook up some delicious momos. When I became pregnant with my child, I was already living in Japan. In Osaka I learned about Shintoism, the kami, which dwell in all things and nature itself, rituals of cleansing and rights of passage. Shinto’s major conceptual focus is on ensuring purity, practices that became central to my own spiritual journey. After 14 years of living across the asian continent, travelling extensively, training as a yoga teacher, learning from the local ways of devotion in each place I visited, I returned to my own home country. At the very start of my return, the Goddess Artemis presented herself to me on a night with a full moon and I became initiated into the mysteries of the goddess as her priestess. Part of this path was to unlock my own energetic blueprint and reiki became the medium that allowed this to happen. Receiving my first reiki Attunement in 2020 was a moment of profound truth, consolidating all codes and wisdom I had received, integrating and at the same time activating all the energetic information within.
I was now, a ligthworker.
There are so many more beautiful parts to the “story” and many more moments of initiation, downloads and wisdom to share. Too many to fit into an “about” section without it turning into a book. Perhaps I will share them with you over a cup of cacao, or around the fire pit.
Being blessed into this life, it has always been my hearts offering to create spaces for souls to come together in sacred work, igniting and re-igniting each others light within. The Conscious collective was born with that mission, to hold space, intimate, warm, beautiful, welcoming space. A space where wise ones and curious ones, of all walks of life, can come together to co-create the golden future that we are already activating. At this moment in time, this place is in Finikaria, Limassol, but it is wherever you are, wherever the intention is, wherever the heart is in power.
We are all guardians of the light, holders of the frequency. When we remember this with our entire being, we activate the force of love, restoring the earth and the entire cosmos back into sacred balance. The Conscious collective is a place where we can remember this, where we can fill up our soul with joy and step out into the world to share it.
