Trust that which you know

and cannot explain

Lia Haraki

Living is a creative practice.

I create artistic experiences, participatory environments, and transformative practices that invite people to experience themselves differently—and through that shift, rediscover connection, authenticity, and possibility.

  • I am an interdisciplinary performance artist, a creator of transformative practices, and an embodied creativity mentor, using my own methodologies as practice-based tools that cultivate resilience, authenticity, and creative agency for living, creating, and becoming.

    My performances

    I have been creating performances, sound, and interactive experiences with the body and voice as central mediums for over twenty five years, with my works being presented locally and internationally.

    My creative works are safe frames for people to experience themselves embodying high frequency emotions like joy and acceptance and interesting states like awareness and discomfort. In a way my performances function as invitations to inspire and move people outside their comfort zones and remember their authenticity as a way to their soul’s calling.

    My methods, tools and practices

    The creative process of making works all these years has brought several methods, tools and practices which inform and support the creative process of living. I offer them in the forms of workshops and lectures.

    My one on one guidance

    I have been mentoring artists and creatives in articulating their creative universes for over twenty years (University of Nicosia, the Onion coaching). At the same time I am coaching individuals who have decided to become aligned with their authenticity and remember the essence of who they are (embodied authenticity and trauma-informed coaching). Holding space, guiding, and supporting humans to become their most true and free versions of themselves is at the core of who I am and what I came into this lifetime to do.

  • I believe art and life are both creative and transformative processes, which are necessary to each other. You need to transform your perception of reality to create a new one. Both processes are challenging and empowering  as one needs to step from fear into courage, from habit to Repatterning, from an old to a new version of self. My work as an artist, practitioner and guide is to support people who have consciously decided to enter this process.

Running projects

Idealist for searching for her own ‘truth’ as an artist, for new sensibilities. Idealist in believing in art as a social practice and in dance as a vehicle for spiritual, social and personal empowerment.
