Biography

By profession I am a master in philosophy, a certified teacher of animal protection and a yoga instructor. Also, past and present, I am an activist with extensive experience in various areas of animal rights, from the theoretical, educational practice, channeled into my writings. I have collaborated with leading non-governmental organizations, promoting veganism and the equal treatment of all sensual beings. Some of them are: Novi Sad Humanitarian Center, Association for the protection of animals Novi Sad – SPANS, Animal Friends Croatia, Freedom for Animals, Feniks, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) etc. I was the founder/leader of the organization Animal Friends in Serbia.

As a long time journalist, I published many articles on bioethics, aesthetics, ecophilosophy, yoga and healthy lifestyles. I am an author and co-author of numerous collections of papers, scripts, journals, books and bulletins. As a practical philosopher, I am engaged in research of biocentric ethics, deep ecology and social activism. I have independently performed as a lecturer at congresses, symposiums, forums and round tables on various topics.

These experiences affected what I am doing today. Within associations for nature protection, I teach animal protection and the environment in several elementary schools in Novi Sad. I am a volunteer with Anonymous for the Voiceless and Animal Save Movement where I participate in educating the public about the treatment of animals and spread a clear vegan message. Ahimsa Yoga & Art is the name of my yoga school and the workshop of objects of applied art that I create, by which I promote the philosophy of non-violence.

I am a member of Bioethics Society of Serbia, International Forum of Teachers (IFT) of the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics, Association for the Environmental Protection Refugium, Club of Teachers, Independent Journalists’ Association of Vojvodina (NDNV), Namaste India Club and Research Foundation International of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), where I implement innovative educational programs. Also, I am a member of a sports association Fit Land, association of independent societies and instructors Yoga Serbia and Yoga Alliance, accredited with two designations: E-RYT 200 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) and YACEP (Continuing Education Provider), by which I promote the integrity and diversity of yoga.

I see my personal and professional growth and achievement through continually raising the level of my own knowledge and skills, using available resources as well as personal experiences, in order to realize the ideas that I stand for.
