My first post on Steemit ~ Welcome to my journey to primordial spirit!

Greetings everyone, I'm very excited to join this platform!;)
My name is Kati Astraeir, and I'm originally from Poland (at least in this lifetime), currently living in Tucson, Arizona.
I am a multimedia mystical and visionary artist, sound healer and musician, nature photographer, medicine woman, gateway keeper, and I am running Galactic Center venue.

One of my jobs is to assist humanity in the journey of ascension, anchoring of the higher frequencies & being a wayshower.
I am on a very interesting journey, and I have a lot of wisdom to share from my experience! When I was born until the age of four I was exposed to a lot of creativity through art and music. I was drawing since I could hold a pencil in my hand, and even back then I was recording my singing, I loved creating songs in the present moment, and I would play instruments.
When I was 4 years old I entered the dark night of my soul for the next 9 years, I got separated from my instruments, my voice got shut down because of the fear, I stopped singing, I wasn't able to speak my truth. Colored pencils were my only tool of survival & together with the help of music they saved my life. It was such a perfect divine orchestration because I would refocus more into expressing music visually. I was pushed very deeply within, and into my dream world, moving beyond the pain, and my limited ego. My art became my tool of escape to my imaginary worlds where I could feel safe. At the age of thirteen I escaped my home, and I embarked more consciously on my healing journey, and at this time I connected with the presence of Thoth as my guide. I was in such a deep darkness, and for many years I would face a lot of my shadow through my art, learning of how to release and transform the energies into the higher forms, creating the free flow. I got very interested in studying about esoteric & hermetic wisdom, natural universal laws.



After feeling some completion with healing from my childhood, I realized that there are many lifetimes of layers of the conditioning to shed. I had to delve deeply into the darkness to find the light. During one of the darkest times this simple yet powerful vision came through:

It was the first representation through my art of my higher dimensional self, and this little ink piece became like a bridge, shining the light on my path, showing the way, reminding for me to trust, and it shifted my whole focus. Darkness is still always the gateway, but I don't have to dwell here for too long anymore. I started to explore many different aspects of my higher dimensional self, working more with my guides, deity energies, plant and animal spirits, learning of how to become a pure vessel for the divine energies moving through, grounding & connecting myself with the source.
Music became for me a great tool, fueling my creation. I learned of how to to create in the trance states, surrendering for the guidance of the sound, using my intention, so I can create from much deeper parts of myself, expressing my pure spirit. Because of this many musical masters from all over the world started to resonate with my visions, and over the years I collaborated with many of them, creating album covers.. ( Steve Roach, Igneous Flame, Raison D'Etre, Max Corbacho, Amir Baghiri, Craig Pruess, Jaja, Numina, Aglaia, Byron Metcalf, Rob Thomas, Algol, In Meditarivm, Tholen, Esoteric Psychomanteum & others.) I was always on a musical journey, exploring a lot & traveling through many different styles, and music would assist me in a major way in the process of my awakening. The sound guides my journey, it brings me Home.
I started to connect with the land where I live, reflecting in it & seeing more and more beauty. I lived pretty close to very old forests with ancient oaks, and they became my great healers and teachers. I would often explore on my own, getting lost, just to find myself. I was practicing moving beyond my ego, merging with my surroundings, and opening myself up into the vision, being able to see with my inner eye, beyond duality into unity consciousness. One day I had the experience with the Goddess, she embraced me with her wings of unconditional love, and this blasted open my heart.

I started to expand into universal love & cosmic consciousness, realizing my life's purpose. In one year I had a lot of lucid dreams, where I would get triggered by a beautiful sight in nature, I would become conscious, and always I had a camera on me to capture it, zooming into it like into an infinite fractal. Around this time my whole reality transformed & I would start using my art for planting the seeds, and creating my dream more consciously. I went to the art school in Poland, but one of the first things that I had to do after I was done, it was letting go of everything that I was being taught, to be able to express from my true self.
I started working with plant consciousness, and one day journeying with music of Steve Roach, I experienced opening of a dimensional portal, and I had like a flashback from my another lifetime in the desert. At this time I awoke deeper into the present moment, I acknowledged deeper the healing work that was accomplished so far, and I looked into my future. I knew that I need a change in my life. I asked the Universe: "Send me to the most perfect place for my growth and development!". I also remember directing myself to the galactic family, offering myself in service for the Gaia and humanity. At another time thinking about reality of my dreams I said out loud: "I would love to have concerts with my favorite musicians in my house!". I dared to dream something what at the time seemed like the impossible, and in a very short time afterwards I connected with Steven Eye, a sculptor and a community leader. Ever since I landed on the other side of the globe, in Tucson, Arizona, and for many years Solar Culture became my home, where indeed we would have a lot of my favorite musicians performing here. I've developed a very deep connection with this land that nourished me very deeply, showing me that indeed I am in the most perfect place for my accelerated growth & development. I was so insanely shy, and I had to shift into the english language, being thrown straight into a situation where I have to interact with community, learning of how to communicate. This change allowed me to move beyond my old patterns & blocks, and while being in nature by myself, I started to let my voice to flow again in trust and surrender, reclaiming my power back. I started to work with crystal bowls, which assisted me greatly, and in later years I picked up didgeridoo and other instruments. As a big introvert I could never imagine before that I would be running a venue, but this was bigger than me, and in the years to come my other request got fulfilled, and I started to run a venue that I called the Galactic Center. It became like a sacred space portal for the emerging galactic culture. It turned out to be a great way for me to offer, to share with my passions & come out from my hiding, holding the space for the transcendental experience of music, taking people on the journey back to their own center. I am hosting here concerts, sound healing & DJ events, lectures, classes, on our walls we have here global visionary art. Once a year during the gem & mineral show we are riding here a big wave of acceleration, holding the space for the global community moving through. I have a lot of my favorite musicians offering through here of course;) Whatever happens through here is such a great assistance in my further awakening, it's like a spiritual academy, where I get to design my own programming. I am getting here the best musical training in direction of freeing of my own expression, and I get to help others at the same time, it makes me feel purposeful.
Since the last year I joined gamelan band Gamelan Dewi Malam, and I am studying traditional music from Bali. I am looking forward to delve into production of electronic music, and my dream is to be able to share with some of the highest technologies with humanity. Curious how this will unfold;-)


At the moment besides drawing with different mediums, I also paint, and I am producing digital art. I have a huge passion into nature photography, sharing with the beauty of nature being seen through my eyes.

Some time ago I painted my very first mural that was commissioned by the Center for the Biological Diversity, representing El Jefe, our local jaguar. It got featured in magazines like Smithsonian and High Sierra, becoming a powerful symbol. I am looking forward to paint more murals very soon!;)

I started also collaborating on some bigger art installation projects for Burning Man. The very first offering for the playa, it is a piece that is based on my old ink piece that connected me with my higher self..

Our second offering it was another spinner piece:


..and then we created the Ascension Temple:



I feel like over the last 11 years being in this country I was still working on completing the old cycle. At this time I am awakening so much more deeply on so many levels & I am excited for what is to come!
..as we journey deeper into the ancient remembering of who we truly are, and our multi-dimensional nature..
Ad Astra!

welcome aboard!;) looking forward to share with some magic with you!
