I am a Phylax.

A lockbox, a weaver; the Greek word for a being that protects and safeguards treasures in carefully secured threads.

I have a rule for myself: I will not help someone unlock their treasures, which may look like Pandora’s box of nightmares at first, unless there is a structure in place to keep these treasures safe and valued. I don’t relate with the concepts of trust and “safe spaces” found in the Western therapy models where there is less threat from falls, more conformity, less to safeguard, and less consequence for falls or loss by those in the dominant culture. It is easy to allow yourself to trust fall from a 3’ high Liberty Bell where your historical roots surrender you either into the arms of an African American slave harvesting your crops, tending to your children, fueling and sourcing up your financial markets, or a handmaid, nanny, or support figure from a poorer part of the world. It is a much bigger act of surrender if you come from a culture 2500+ years old where every financial, marital, material purchase or land acquisition is weaved within a social fabric, likely frayed, bunched, and perforated by infiltrations and bunched knots and currently navigating repair amidst the other part of the world’s repeated and perpetual attempts and insistence on accessing these areas and breaking them down spiritually to not know their true histories or worth.

I have had many opportunities to be wealthy, to live without integrity, to misalign, both in this life and ancestrally, over and over. I am repeatedly, continually fighting invitations by dominant culture to forsake my values and choose to orient to hold pure structures— I have chosen an ascetic, monastic life and financial orientation to carry the purest signals for the treasures I have been given by God and my ancestors to hold, which is incredibly challenging to maintain in this society. I am at core an alchemist, a refiner, and I innately add value to what the rest of the world may perceive as trash or discard. I can see the highest version of what someone or their children can be before the world tears them down in order to lower the rate they’re willing to pay for these treasures. The typical patterns of the commodification are familiar, trite, lazy and insipid, easily recognized by me and I’m extremely equipped to anticipate these strategies. I. will always be encouraging you to recognize yourself as the treasure and keeping your treasures safe as a matter of personal integrity and ethics.

Nikola Tesla: A humble Serbian Orthodox man whose work was taken by the CIA, classified, used to generate Lockheed Martin cloaking weapons. His work with electricity draws from the ancient traditions of priests and lineages working with pine and mastic and developing the electric principle deeply in their body, through lifetimes of work with resin and amber. He died alone of a heart attack, and broke— since then, millions have been made off his patents and work, and Serbia experiences hyperinflation and government corruption. His namesake is now a $1.43 trillion dollar company. He loved pigeons; the word for dove, a symbol of peace, is pigeon in Greek. Pigeons and Doves have longtime been symbols of Peace in the Balkan region, as have eagles been a symbol of intelligent leadership and vision. Pigeons are often used for influencer photoshoots as they have become acculturated to experience nourishment from the crumbs thrown at them— they were also used to carry ham radios in World War II as they have a deep ability to sense magnetic fields.

Λάβετε, φάγετε, τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου

Take, eat; this is My body

Ancient Builders, the cultures that supported them , and their lineages have long been coveted for the invigoration of spiritual material, vitality, and energy they provide dominant culture with, as they are catalysts and spiritual awakeners for those who have a longstanding disconnection from their spirit, the planet, animals, and are learning to build social fabric from scratch.

King Tut was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 in Egypt; he is also a feature in the British Royal Museum, and shipped around the world to archeological museums, coinciding with many financial crashes to the Egyptian people and the advent of dictatorial and imperialist policies around the Suez Canal Crisis.

Greek and Balkan shepherds, who were aligned with the rhythms of nature, time, and seasons used to work within communities that created handicrafts, looming and sheepskin rugs. While there are still some shepherds and handicrafts, since the fall of the drachma currency in 2001, the hyperinflation and bankcrupty in these markets, their nature connection and way of being has become financially inhospitable. It is possible to find these handicrafts at Ikea, however— the patterns, designs, and artistry have been replicated and are now made by factory automation, similarly to Persian style rugs and textiles from India and Sri Lanka.

This is an ever-evolving offering for which I'll be deepening in my explanations of and description of as I work with more people who have found me. 

Note: I am not operating these sessions as an Licensed Mental Health Counselor and am providing a separate session than the therapy and somatic sessions I provide. While I incorporate psychoanalytic and mind-body techniques, these sessions are not covered by standard medical therapeutic models and fall under a category similar to massage, reiki, acupuncture, etc. 

Previously these sessions were widely available to everyone, however due to the nature of spiritual detox I primarily offer these sessions to clients who are from lineages that incorporate ancestry prior to the advent of the Gregorian calendar (Balkans, Middle East, Egypt down to Ethiopia, east to Iran/Persia, with consideration for Hindu cultures, Kashmir, and works through conflict around the partition of India, pre-British Colonial rule). This is to maintain and not disturb the social fabric of the areas, as the financial systems, land, culture and people may have been taken over by dominant cultures and similar patterns of white supremacy, monarchist and imperialist ideals have infiltrated the cultures and regions which create lack, scarcity, war, land ravaging, commodification, conflict between men and women, and harm to animals and children. 

There is a specific amount of service work I do in spiritual records for these cultures separate from these sessions for prevention of calamitous things such a birth defects and severe health conditions; however, most of these cultures have been reduced, minimized and commodified by the West and are being offered box solutions (including in the mental health world) that further the feelings of deficiency, inadequacy, inferiority and subsequent divison. I am advocating for change within the system so that cultures and regions can have individual identities and be empowered within themselves. 

I offer a separate session for those who are from parts of the world connected to the Eastern Hemisphere and Germanic Peoples which have a different focus, as the social fabric can tend to have a completely different structure that needs to be developed and defined through a lens separate from distribution, extraction, commodification and financial systems. The focus is different, an it can actually be more challenging as there is not as much to reclaim and more to define and develop. Their culture, art world, and financial system is largely built on top of other cultures, and this creates big feelings of imposter syndrome, inadequacy, lack of identity, and working with colonization histories. There can be huge vacancies, intellectualization of emotions, and struggles with gender identity as a result of animal husbandry practices, for which I offer deep healing, supply chain rectification, nature connection, planetary connections and self-actualization work to help them be the change within their culture.

I have worked with indigenous clients as well; however, my culture incorporates some of their spirit animals such as aquatic and aviary birds, and I recommend that those clients utilize healers from within their culture as I don't wish to offer a structure that is different than what they ancestrally would have had-- it isn't natural nor beneficial to well-being. 

Heinrich Schleimman's archeological dig of Troy; now found in the British Royal Museum

Heinrich Schleimman's archeological dig to uncover Troy and the Minoan civilization; the treasures uncovered and subsequent antiquities and their financial appraisals can now be found in the British Royal Museum.

The Sandworm in the Movie Dune: An ancient weaver in sand whose excretions would generate the spice, blue eyes and precognition in the people from Arrakis, a planet continually being visited by an Empire focused on harvesting the material that would fuel and move their ships— an analogy for their consciousness vessels. Those from inside the culture became priestesses, devoted to the well-being of their people; those outside the culture who navigated the Empire’s ships, imbued in the spice repeatedly were called space guild navigators, going through folded space, wormholes, consuming bits of spice to develop the brief flash of psychic abilities in order to bring the invaders to harvest spice on Arrakis— they died early deaths similar to radiation poisoning, due to their inability to handle the spice. Some part of the Order of Bene Gesserit consumed the spice, the “Water of Life” to try to unlock ancestral memories and develop mind-control and hypnosis techniques, but upon consumption of the spice their organs gave out and died. Those on Arrakis who did not step in the familiar architecturally woven pattern were consumed by the sandworm- only those who stepped in sand in a pattern that honored the rhythms of the planet and natural order of things did not set off an alert for the sandworm. Some even learned to ride the sandworm’s back.
