The Philosophy Behind the Course

Inspired by the Waldorf educational model and the Finnish education system, this course provides personal development tools to help parents assess their parenting goals, dreams, and priorities.

As Nataša Pantović beautifully puts it:

“Knowing that every woman and man is a star is one thing, but walking the path and giving individuals the empowerment to act—within this matrix of choices—is something entirely different. If we are not ready for the Cosmos to manifest in all its forms, including rebellion, we risk suppressing their life-force.”

A-Ma Alchemy of Love or Playing the Glass Bead Game with Pythagoras (AoL Book#1)

Author: Nataša Pantović

Format: Paperback: 244 pages   Size: 6 x 9"

A-Ma Alchemy of Love
A Historical Novel by Nataša Pantović
Published: 2017

In A-Ma Alchemy of Love, a captivating historical fiction novel, Nataša Pantović weaves an intricate tapestry of mysticism, philosophy, and political intrigue set in 17th century Macao—a crossroads between the East and West during the Age of Enlightenment. Amidst the backdrop of the Dutch attack on Macao in 1622, the Reform of the Chinese Calendar in the 1630s, and the pivotal appointment of Father Adam Schall to the Chinese Board of Mathematicians in the 1650s, the novel explores the complex intersection of science, religion, and ancient wisdom.

A Mystical Journey of Transformation

The novel centers around Ama, an African alchemist and Goddess, who embodies the wisdom of the ancients. A guru, lover, storyteller, and mystic, Ama gathers an eclectic community of artists, philosophers, priests, and scientists in her coffee house—a sanctuary of creativity and intellectual exchange in the heart of Macao. Her presence is magnetic, as she leads the way in uncovering the alchemy of love, healing, and union.

Through Ama’s journey, the reader is taken on a mystical exploration of the ancient world, where spiritual truths are hidden in the folds of history, art, and mythology. The novel addresses gender and ideological struggles, presenting a narrative where science confronts the Church, male against female, and East meets West. It’s a story of discovery, revolution, and enlightenment—one that asks difficult questions about history, identity, and love.

A Novel of Truth, Love, and Union

As Nataša Pantović explains, “This novel is about the search for truth, but from the goddess perspective—about love and union, of the priestesses who have given us the first commandment, ‘Do not kill.’” A-Ma Alchemy of Love is a journey of transformation, where Ama challenges the status quo, seeking not only to inspire but to instigate a change in how we understand ourselves, our histories, and the world around us.

In the words of the author, "All my characters have strong political, ideological, and moral commitments; their ideas are groundbreaking. It is a science against the Church, male against female, East against West conversation." The novel is not just a historical account but a reflection on society’s evolution, offering a blend of myth, art, and dreams to break the rhythm of storytelling and deepen the reader's engagement with the themes of truth and transformation.

Conscious Creativity: Ancient Europe's Mindfulness Meditations (AoL Book #7)

Author: Nataša Pantović

Paperback: 128 pages    Size: 6 x 9"

Conscious Creativity: Ancient Europe's Mindfulness Meditation
Learning from Ancient Greek, Egyptian, Chinese Mystics about Creativity and Creative Thought

In Conscious Creativity: Ancient Europe’s Mindfulness Meditation, Nataša Pantović takes readers on a journey through time, exploring the mystical and creative practices of ancient civilizations, from the Sumerian Moon Goddess Sin Priestesses to the visionary insights of Pythagoras. This profound exploration weaves together the wisdom of the ancient Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, and Balkan mystics, offering a timeless guide to understanding creativity, consciousness, and the power of the subconscious mind.

A Journey Through Ancient Wisdom

Walking in the footsteps of ancient female wisdom, this work explores the role of creativity as seen through the eyes of priests, scientists, and artists throughout history. The Sumerian Moon Goddess, Sin, and her priestesses set the stage for our understanding of spirituality and creative flow. In parallel, the Vinča culture of ancient Serbia, the New Kingdom of Egypt with its goddess Axen, and Babylonian symbols provide a rich tapestry of thought that reveals the interconnectedness of sacred sound, art, and divine inspiration.

The book brings forward insights from Ancient Greece, where gods like Zeus, Pan, Athena, and Venus represent the profound relationship between creativity, divinity, and the natural world. These deities and their associated rituals provide the foundation for understanding the human spirit’s creative potential, through the lens of Pythagoras’ mathematics and music, which bridge the spiritual with the scientific.

In addition, the ancient Maltese goddess and the Balkan Orphism rituals that later found resonance in Christian traditions highlight the intersection of religion, creativity, and mysticism. The Dionysian cult of ancient Europe further underscores how the sacred, art, and ecstasy of creation were intertwined.

Understanding the Subconscious Mind

A central theme of the book is the power of the subconscious mind—the creative force that shapes our thoughts, behaviors, and realities. The teachings of Carl Jung are explored in connection with ancient mystical practices, particularly the use of sound frequencies to connect with divine energies. These sound frequencies, seen as the voice of the gods, played an integral role in the development of early writing systems, spirituality, and sacred rituals.

Drawing from the yin and yang philosophy of Chinese mysticism, the book explores how opposites—such as the East vs. West and North vs. South—can be transcended to achieve a more harmonious understanding of creativity and consciousness. The balance between the left and right brain is presented as essential for unlocking the full potential of creative thinkers and future leaders.

Devotion to Truth, Beauty, and Research

At its core, Conscious Creativity is a tribute to the life-long devotion to truth, beauty, and the pursuit of knowledge shared by ancient philosophers, mystics, and artists. From the insights of Leonardo da Vinci, whose research into both art and science epitomized the unity of thought and creativity, to the mystical Christians, Sufis, and the Ancient Greeks, this book brings together the timeless wisdom that continues to shape our understanding of the world.

In this work, Nataša Pantović invites readers to consider the eternal question: “Can we go beyond the struggle of East vs. West and North vs. South?” The answer, as the book suggests, lies in the integration of ancient knowledge, a deeper exploration of the subconscious mind, and the cultivation of both creative and analytical thinking.

Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Dreams (AoL Book #9)

Author: Nataša Pantović

Format: Paperback and e-Book  Size: 6 x 9"

Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Life

A Metaphysical Novel by Nataša Pantović
Published: [Year]

Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Life is a deeply philosophical and metaphysical novel by Nataša Pantović that invites readers on a transformative journey through life, consciousness, and interconnectedness. Set against the backdrop of Findhorn, UK, and spanning across the continents—from Serbia to Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malta—this novel blends real-life experiences with mystical concepts to explore the profound wisdom of the Tree of Life.

A Journey through the Interconnectedness of All Life

The Tree of Life symbolizes the connection between all living beings, a theme explored through the lenses of various religious traditions, myths, and mystical philosophies. This universal concept transcends cultures, representing the intertwined nature of existence and our relationship with the Micro and Macro Cosmos.

At the heart of the story is Maya of Power, whose journey takes her into the Field of Dreams, where she discovers the Alchemy of Soul. As Maya ascends and descends the Spiral of Consciousness, she learns profound truths about human connection, the importance of Ubuntu—the African philosophy that **“a person is a person through their relationship to others”—and the practice of Wu Wei, the art of “action through non-action.”

The novel explores themes of divine intentions, spiritual growth, and the interconnectedness of all beings, weaving personal stories and universal truths into a tapestry of soul searching, healing, and awakening.

A Story of Adoption, Healing, and Growth

Drawing from Nataša Pantović's own life experiences as an adoptive parent, the novel incorporates true-life stories that delve into the human soul’s journey on Earth. It’s a story of love, growth, and transformation, examining how we shape our identities through relationships with others, and how our individual stories intersect with the greater narrative of life. The book also touches on adoption and the power of connection, both between people and with the Earth itself, creating a powerful and inspiring message for readers from all walks of life.

A Philosophical Exploration of Consciousness

In the novel, Pantović presents the idea that the subconscious mind or chitta has its own "body" and that as we ascend the Spiral of Consciousness, we begin to see how we relate to each other in our collective quest for Goodness. The journey is not only about self-realization but about understanding the shared human experience and the deeper knowledge that emerges when we live in harmony with all sentient beings.

"The Universe’s Micro and Macro Cosmos is at our feet, searching to manifest as deeper knowledge and understanding of our little Self within Conscious Living with all the sentient beings on our little planet Earth," Pantović writes, inviting readers to awaken to the truth of their interconnectedness.

A Metaphysical Masterpiece

Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Life is more than just a novel—it is a metaphysical exploration that challenges the reader to think deeply about life, relationships, and the spiritual evolution of humanity. As Maya’s story unfolds, we are invited to explore the inner workings of the universe, the power of the subconscious mind, and the universal wisdom of Ancient Worlds that have shaped human consciousness for millennia.
