“Everything we create shapes who we are. We are both ‘that’ and ‘beyond that’. This is how I create.”
Creating Marina
Creating Marina is where I muse about writing, life, music, as well as do an inquiry into awakening, more popularly known as enlightenment. Various divination practices like Human Design, the Enneagram, and even the Tarot will also slip in.
Feel free to comment, inquire, and muse with me. By creating me, you’re creating you!

A little backstory…
I was born and raised in Moldova, a small eastern European country, and came to America at the age of 11. In my early twenties, I had a life-altering encounter with the spiritual realm. After dramatically changing my direction in life, I became an avid spiritual seeker, who found solace in writing, while supporting myself as a substitute teacher.
Later, as my understanding of life expanded so did my creative pursuits into music. Since 2014 I’ve been collaborating with singer-songwriter Paul McCarty of Wicked Saints. The two of us go by the name Non Duo. The name comes from the term non-dual—which means not two, but one—and points to the existence of an absolute reality that transcends everyday reality. You can hear our music here.
Drawing upon a decade of self-inquiry and a variety of non-dual approaches that go back to Ramana Maharshi and to more contemporary awakened beings such as Jed McKenna, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, Mooji, and the teacher with whom I worked most directly, Peter Brown, I realized that LIFE IS SIMPLY HAPPENING and it’s possible to be a co-creator with life.
The belief that we have to do something or be someone in order to be happy is what’s creating suffering. Out of that realization, I founded a service called, Presence Healing where I offer advice, classes, and one-on-one sessions for anyone looking to dismantle beliefs that are holding you back from realizing your true nature.
