About the founder
Yana Spasova
Ever since she was a child Yana has been on the road. Originally from Bulgaria she spent her childhood years in Austria and Germany, her 20s in the USA, and her 30s in China, from where she traveled the whole Far East. She speaks 4 languages. Her nomadic life has allowed her to interact with all sorts of people and gain a spectrum of experiences and realisations, which inspired her to write the philosophical book “Waking Up to Being”.
By profession Yana is a healer. She holds a Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is passionate about teaching TCM to medical professionals and non-medical folks around the world. She founded the Holosapiens Project in 2008 and additionally has been developing various TCM teaching programs for different student levels, currently offered in two languages. She is also a Buddhist practitioner.
"Waking Up to Being" is a fairy tale about self-discovery, a thought-provoking book that challenges the status quo and invites the readers to leave their comfort zone. It is a dream-like story that combines magic realism with folklore, mysticism, mythology, Eastern spirituality, humour, and childish naivety.
