Fotoula Adrimi BA(Hons), MSc
Fotoula's story – Spiritual Teacher
In 2006 I had a spiritual awakening. The ability to see, hear and feel the unseen worlds, that had left me when I became a teenager, returned to me together with the knowledge and skills of healing and esoteric communication I had practiced in other lives. Gradually I remembered lives as a teacher in the temples of ancient Egypt during the Golden Times, as well as Atlantis. I also remembered several lives when I had walked the shamanic path.
​
This awakening changed my life as I could once again communicate with the enlightened beings. The years in-between I lived a conventional life, graduating as a town planner in the university of Thessaly in Greece, and Sorbonne Paris IV in Paris, working in the Regeneration team in the Glasgow City Council, Scotland, being married and paying a mortgage.
From 2006 my life went through a gradual change, where I evaluated what no longer served me and walked away from unhealthy relationships and conditioned structures. This, I have found, is an unfolding step in our journey of soul evolution.
I am now entirely focussed on being a spiritual teacher of this evolutionary path of the soul, empowering people to expand spiritually and release the unhealthy conditioned ways that limit their soul’s expression and their wellbeing, as well as that of the planet and all living beings. Since 2006 I have trained extensively with other wise teachers and practiced and taught the teachings channelled from Enlightened Guides. I have helped many people find their calling, and in time, become practitioners and teachers themselves.
My work currently centres in three key teachings of light
The Mystery School of Ancient Egypt is an unfolding spiritual teaching that is immensely deep and rich. I remembered these teachings with the help of Goddess Isis, who gave me a framework for bringing this ancient wisdom to our modern times. There is now a growing community of Initiates who have felt the calling to return to the temple of the Living Light. We share this work in person in Glasgow and online and every so often we organise a sacred pilgrimage to Egypt for our community, where we can practice the teachings, initiations and rituals in situ.
Shamanism is my passion. The drum is my heartbeat and the healing work a deep calling. I carry an ancient lineage through my family but I have also trained in core/classic shamanism with Sandra Ingerman and completed teacher training in 2013. I have worked with western and indigenous shamans from various traditions: Mexican, Peru, Mayan, Toltec, Native American as well as the shamanic path of the Himalayas through Bhola Banstola. I have completed seven moon dances, three vision quests and trained as a sweat lodge facilitator (waterpourer). I am also a Master firewalk instructor, and in my homeland of Greece we have an unbroken sacred tradition of fire walking. I have shared these ways in community through circles, workshops, practitioner trainings, advanced practitioner trainings, shamanic retreats and online shamanic courses.
The Rays of Divine Consciousness is an exceptional teaching that helps us heal our spiritual DNA, raise our vibration, and become aware of the karmic seeds that we carry that may obscure our inner vision and cause the repetition of difficult events and unhealthy patterns. This teaching was offered to me in the Celtic Land of Scotland in 2012 and I have been practising and sharing it ever since in a retreat settings and through The Isis School Monthly Rays transmissions.
Fotoula's Book – The Golden Book of Wisdom
Since 1999 I lived and worked in Glasgow, Scotland, and have taught in Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands. I have also led four spiritual pilgrimages to Egypt.
My first book, The Golden Book of Wisdom: Ancient Spirituality and Shamanism for Modern Times, an Amazon UK bestseller, is an epitome of spiritual learning, mysticism, and soul evolution. I have also contributed in"You Heal You” by Jane G. Doyle
My second book on the Esoteric teachings of Ancient Egypt is due to be published by O-Books in 2024-2025.
