Dragon Treasures

My story is simple and at the same time as deep as any human story. My name is Nadia.  I will be your guide. I'm the Dragon Lady.

As a child I grew up in the city. I spent my summers in the village. There I met a herbalist. Her mission was to collect herbs for the state . With her I took my first steps in studying plants. I learned their properties and special traits. I learned to observe listen and respect nature.

For my family the connection with herbs was a way of life. Smelling the plants and letting our thoughts travel. These memories never left me,they just slept.

As I grew up life led me to a completely different world. For almost 20 years I worked creating silver jewelry. It was a beautiful and creative part of my life. But deep inside herbs and nature were always calling me back. 

Meeting Kostoula Sarikaki was a gift of life. A woman with incredible knowledge of wild greens and everything Cretan land offers, combined with endless love and talent for cooking, especially Cretan traditional cuisine.She opened her heart and knowledge to me. She showed and explained to me which herbs are edible not just as facts, but as a daily act of love and care. This knowledge passed from person to person.

Together with my husband, we decided to leave the city in 2015. We moved to a very small village, Stratos Selinou. Herbs were everywhere. Here memory woke up again.  And here I felt I belong.

Today through the Dragon Treasures seminars, we do not sell knowledge. We share it.

We share a way of life.

If this story sparks even a small flame in you, if it gives you the courage to change something in your life, then we have already achieved our purpose.

The Dragon Treasures team is me and you. People who share the same beliefs: that it is never too late to change
