A JOURNEY THROUGH ART AND ESOTERIC EXPLORATION
Maro Vedava is a Greek mystical visual artist, fusion belly dancer, yoga instructor, independent scholar and a devoted priestess of the Goddess. She is the creator of Moon Nectar Temple in Thessaloniki, a sacred space dedicated to the exploration of the Sacred Feminine through ritual, dance, and magical arts.
With a background in film-making from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Maro pursued a research master’s degree in Media and Performance at Utrecht University, while also studying Western esotericism at the University of Amsterdam. Her interdisciplinary work led to the development of two independent scholarly publications, namely Exploring Psytrance as Technognosis : A Hypotheses of Participation (2015) and "The Dance of Aurora: Media Priestesses and Auric Fields" (2022).
Her search for meaning led to her initiation into the mysteries of the Great Goddess in 2012 by the universe.
This marked a profound shift in her, guiding her deep dive into the hidden history, symbolism, and Mysteries of the Divine Feminine. This path has since shaped her lifeview, informing her research, digital Goddess Art and mixed media Mystic Visuals, all developed in the context of media priestessing. Through the years, Maro has organized events and exhibitions in Greece such as the Participatory Visions – Visionary Art Exhibition, Technognosis: Art, Media & Psychedelic Event and the Earthereal Series: Photo, Painting+ on Wood with the painter Achilleas Gatekeeper. She has also participated in international events such as Boom Festival, Free Earth Festival and Priestess Convocation with presentations, workshops, dance and art.
SUBTLE ENERGIES AND EMBODIEMENT
Maro’s love for movement began in a very young age with over a decade of classical ballet training, complemented by modern and contemporary dance, tango argentino, and traditional Greek dances. In 2016 she started her yoga teacher training (200 h + 500 h certifications by Anahata Yoga Academy) and educated herself in Indian Philosophy, exploring also the Shakta Tantra tradition. At the same year, she comitted herself to self-studying tribal fusion belly dance through online videos. Covid gave her the chance to connect and study further with international dancers from around the globe. Maro has performed internationally in festivals like Sofia Tribal Fest (Bulgaria), Tribal Festival Krakow (Poland) and in Jasmin Kalathaki’s Shows in Athens. In 2022 she became the lead dancer and choreographer of Moon Nectar Tribe, who appeared with Midnight Shamans Band. Maro teaches live dance classes in Thessaloniki and online, offering opportunities for students to connect deeply with their bodies and their feminine side.
RITUAL PRACTICE
As the founder of Moon Nectar Temple (since 2021), Maro facilitates women’s circles and all-gender ceremonies that offer immersive experiences of embodied connectivity and sensual spirituality. She invites participants to explore the sacredness of their true nature through the Alchemy of the Nectar. Additionally, she hosts international dancers and priestesses who share their wisdom and practices in workshops. Moon Nectar Temple is also her personal art studio, where she creates her costumes and dances, and her handmade jewelry, including the Moon Nectar Earrings.
