SANDRA KOKIC

From the beginning, my path has woven art, body, and spirit together. I first trained as a tailor and costume designer for theatre in the early 2000s, before stepping onto the stage through Dance Theater & Dance Therapy. In 2007, my practice deepened into Dance Meditation — a doorway towards Tantra. Pilgrimages to India and initiations into Tantric meditation practices opened a new dimension in my work: the body as temple for Self expression and for healing through Art.

In 2009 I entered Drama School, and by 2011 Paris called. From 2013, I lived there for two years in an ongoing love affair with the city. The expansion unfolded inwardly & outwardly — an internal transformation that shaped both my art and my presence. Alongside, I created five short films with all-female casts, exploring myth and female Identity and archetypes, while still guiding others as a Tantra Therapist. I realized that the Guide and the Director were also the Actor. Divine Feminine Storytelling was born.

Around 2020, I began with pilgrimages through France, filming and recording women’s voices in churches and cathedrals — a reclamation of the Divine Feminine in spaces long silenced.

My lens has always been drawn to women. Interestingly though I have worked as a Tantra guide more with Men. I love seeing them in their power & potential. And I love seeing Women in their power on screen, while creating spaces for this to take place.

The first I photographed on analog film was in 2000, and that thread continued towards filming them. After more than twelve years as a Tantric Guide, my work now fuses embodiment with art — where the camera becomes ritual, storytelling becomes transformation, and image becomes soul.

For me all is spiritual. And the Divine Feminine is calling us to be respected, remembered and reclaimed through our artistic expression and in the depths of our bodies and minds.

My work is to make that embodiment – visible & experienceable.

For you and the world.
