ABOUT ME

Welcome to Heart of Goddess

My name is Alessandra Lanzavecchia and I can accompany you, with gentleness and love, on a path of transformation, knowledge and reconnection to help you rediscover your essence, feminine power and your true self.

The energy of the Goddess can inspire you to open the door to the Goddess within you, so that your life can transform and become a mirror of who you really are and of what your truly desire. That’s how it was for me

But if you feel stuck and need references, new cues, and models, then I know how you feel.

Let me tell you a piece of my story, because to get this far and create Heart of Goddess I travelled an often uphill and lonely road, and now I have come to understand that it could have been much easier.

Seven years ago

WHEN I DECIDED TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS

Seven years ago, after countless experiments to hold and reconcile different worlds, I decided to leave my profession.

Although I enjoyed it, because I worked for the emancipation and rights of women, it no longer corresponded to my vision of life. My instinct told me that there was another way for me to dedicate myself to women’s power, something which I had been drawn to since childhood.

I didn’t know what it was though, and what’s more, I was surrounded by people who saw my choice to leave my job as something absurd.

I decided to follow my dreams and dedicate myself entirely to yoga, which I was already teaching, but only part-time – and to the study of the Sacred Feminine. In this way, I began to bring together all my bits and pieces which I had lost in what I hitherto ‘had to do and had to be’ – more to please others or to follow a social model, rather than for my own happiness.

And today I can say that following that voice was the greatest gift I could have given myself. Trusting in what then seemed unattainable has led me to discover who I really am. And to live a life where I can express it through my Heart of Goddess project.

The exploration of the sacred feminine has returned to call me

I have always worked with womxn, and ever since I was a child I have felt that each of us had great untapped potential. After a long period of intense and profound study of yoga and of reconnection with the Indian Goddesses, I left for Glastonbury, a small village in England that according to folklore is the site of Avalon.

At Glastonbury, there is the “Goddess Temple”, which hosts many courses for those who want to deepen their ancient knowledge of the Sacred Feminine.

There, I attended a two-year course as a Priestess of Avalon, to rediscover and deepen my knowledge of the Goddesses, and to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the Sacred Feminine and the Great Mother. And I became even more dedicated to working on myself, a work which continues every day, to recover, give voice and heal the parts of myself that I had hidden and forgotten.

Finally, my path of reconnection with the Goddess, the study of yoga and women’s empowerment merged, transforming my life and my work with the feminine.

And so, my paths and Heart of Goddess were born and raised.

It can be easier and faster for you than it was for me, if together:

We work with the energies of the cycles of nature, the seasons and the Goddesses, so that through the big (nature and the goddesses) you may understand the small (yourself).

We work with the body. The body is the temple of our soul, for me it has always been important to learn to listen to it and take care of it. Yoga, dance and free movement make our emotions flow.

We celebrate life’s events, giving thanks and cultivating presence and joy. The cyclicality of nature reminds us that by celebrating life’s important moments, we can understand and experience them fully.

You are not alone. Feeling that I am in a safe, shared space with other women has given me the opportunity to open up more and more: not only with them, but also with myself.
