I am on Tinos because of Livada. One summer I asked my art and healing friends where I could go to experience art and healing, not tourism, on a trip to Europe. My dear friend Vijali Hamilton immediately told me, “go to Tinos Greece where I carved my serpent”. Now Vijali had made her world wheel where she circled the earth asking women her 3 questions, what is your essence, what is holding you back from being it, and what can I do to help you get there?” In Tinos Greece she carved a serpent on a huge hard boulder next to the sea in winter, an amazing task. She carved the serpent to bring the earth energy back to women, bring healing serpents back to the people to heal them and return them to their essence. She painted on the huge boulders paintings of women connecting the sky earth and sea. I went to Livada when I arrived in Tinos years ago and did ceremony there for art and healing to bring serpent energy back to Tinos and it’s people, and went there last weekend with my wife and family to swim and eat in the taverna. Livada feels like a sacred site, it has a quiet sacredness like a ceremonial site or cathedral or church. You feel it’s energy and are at peace and deeply connected to the earth, healing and nature. When I am at Livada I feel my first days, my days with family, my days now with my wife all swirl in a vortex of energy. That is how sacres spaces and place move in time to be out of time, into prayer.
