Protection & Renewal
Rooted in ancient ritual and personal heritage, this post explores the deep meaning behind the Mati (Evil Eye) and Martis—red-and-white bracelets traditionally worn in March in Greece. These symbols inspire the way I approach systems change, community care, and equity-driven consulting. A reflection on protection, renewal, and what it means to welcome spring with intention.
Owls, Wisdom, and Vision
Owls have long symbolized wisdom, protection, and clarity. In ancient Greece, the owl of Athena represented foresight and strategic vision. My lifelong connection to birds, from childhood to my work today, reflects this enduring wisdom. As a consultant, I help organizations navigate complexity, align strategy with purpose, and build resilience—much like the owl, which sees through darkness to reveal the path forward. I continue to learn from birds, honoring their role in both my ancestry and my approach to guiding transformative change.
Lessons from the Olive Grove
Harvesting olives in my family’s village near Sparti is more than tradition—it’s a lesson in patience, resilience, and deep connection. Just as the olive tree thrives across generations, meaningful change requires care, collaboration, and long-term vision. In my work, I strive to cultivate strategies that endure, much like the roots of these ancient groves.
