Umansky
I am an artist who writes. My worldview has been shaped by broad experiences gained while growing up in Moscow, living in Germany and the USA as a young adult, and traveling widely ever since I was a teenager. Having received a formal education and professional experience in the field of urbanism, I moved on pursuing my passions as a yoga teacher and an independent interdisciplinary researcher, weaving together interests in ethnophilosophy, linguistics, and expressive arts. Over time, the journey has led me to develop a particular interest in illuminating cultural heritage of indigenous peoples of the world. Meanwhile, writing and photography have become my channels of creative self-expression and connection with the global community. I am inviting you to join me in discovering beauty, aliveness and mystery that abound the world we live in.
Enjoy the precious reciprocity you find along the way!
With love and gratitude,
Elena
