I met Mariam Prokou in an unconscious need, which took shape as a search to return to my ‎authentic self and allow it to find expression in the movements of dance and in the beauty of ‎femininity as a source of vital energy. Mariam Prokou is a Priestess of the art of oriental dance. ‎She can initiate us, in the sense of an introduction through teaching; to guide us so as to make ‎contact with all our female qualities, to embrace them and to allow them to find expression in our ‎own distinctive way. Once we achieve that as women, we can then connect with our male ‎qualities and harmonize them with the female ones, so that care, love and compassion become ‎equal to strength and action. The full internalization of the gifts of both actions and the chance to ‎make possible their unity in and out of ourselves contribute to a world of peace, maturity and ‎evolution. ‎‎
