Nastasja Dorandi

Nastasja has been on the path of true philosophy since a very early age, a path that has shaped her own deep philosophical journey. During her perennial, spiritual, and philosophical pursuits, she has consistently searched through and explored primary sources. In this theological, metaphysical, and philosophical quest, she explored within her own self without any formal “formula” to follow. Her search was real, soul-bound, and a self-onward journey, venturing into various traditions in her pursuit of truth, wisdom, what is most real, and how ideas (concepts) and Idea (from idein, “to see” or “to behold”) take hold within a society and within ourselves. Nastasja is not a teacher, guide, or mentor. She holds that if a true philosopher wants a teacher or guide, that role must be self-chosen, never imposed by another -- there is no qualified teacher other than one’s own higher self. Among those she chose to study with was Pierre Grimes, Ph.D., of the Noetic Society; they were close friends, and she studied extensively with him. She continues her personal, self-directed studies and chooses to study with the Prometheus Trust, based in the UK. True to this philosophy, she accepts no honorarium for her time. She asks participants to read the text in advance so that everyone can engage in meaningful exploration and dialogue.
