About Me
So glad you're here! Here's a little about Anja...
Anja Sagan (They/Them pronouns) - Bio
Anja is the co-author of an international bestselling book, poet, filmmaker, an artist and Shaman with lived experience of mental illness.
Anja has an Honours BA in Fine Art, a diploma in Graphic Design from The Ontario College Of Art and is studying filmmaking.
After the deep journey Anja went through, they came to see people not by what presents itself on the surface, but as The Divine in living form. People are are infinitely greater than any labels or stereotypes and are defined by their unique lived experience and their passions.
Their work centres around the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and exploring our true mythic nature. Anja combines the elements of Nature, Spirituality and Love, working from the belief that all we experience comes from the Divine and speaks to us from the core of our essence.
Through self-referential narrative, Anja invites us to explore the mythic beauty and magnificence of the human experience
and what it means to be truly alive - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. To release ourselves from the labels and perceived divisions we have taken on - dropping the boundaries, embracing our uniqueness and our genius to share the wealth of this magnificent human, global family we were created to be.
Collaboration, synergy and unification of structures is the way for the human race to move forward and release the toxic, hierarchical, greed-based scarcity we have believed in until now. We must as a species, level the playing field and work together if our species - even our planet - is to survive.
We need to see the truth of the past, learn from it and practice forgiveness to heal and grow collectively.
When not writing, creating films or painting, Anja can be found travelling, wilderness camping, hiking in nature, decorating or creating clothes, cycling or being human furniture for their beloved animal companions.
