Bee Deva (2016) Painting by Sandira

Sandira is an artist and photographer. She was born in Brittany, in North-western France. Early on she figured out she wouldn't fit into the boxes that society was offering her. She spent a major part of her young life traveling, and backpacking, with very little money and with a confident trust in her inner guiding star, in a quest for the authentic nature of life, and, ultimately, to understand who she was. 

She found an anchor in Portugal, in the free love and Peace research center of Tamera. Then life sent her biggest challenge, and maybe her biggest gift: she became ill. Very ill. For 5 years, on a few occasions having serious conversations with death... Until the deep decision to choose life came through her with its indisputable majestic clarity. 

Her erotic body had shut down during these years and little did she know how it would burst forth in an uncoiling of her creative flow….

This initiatic breakthrough was accompanied by the birth of her book, "Bee Wisdom: Teachings from the Hive". The Bee has always been one of her muses, her inspiration, her whisperer...

And this was just the start. Eros and sacred relating are an incredible drive for artistic manifestation. Nothing can stop her. Nothing can stop us. The world is changing, and she is not missing that train.
