Bio for Paula van Strien

Paula van Strien holds master's degrees in Art History, Business Administration, Philosophy, and Cultural Studies, providing her with a rich interdisciplinary foundation for exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality. Her academic background, combined with her experience as a software developer, gives her a unique perspective on how digital spaces can be transformed into sacred ones.

Paula became fascinated with how digital technologies could be used to create meaningful spiritual connections across distances. She explores how intention, symbolism, and technology can merge to create powerful ritual spaces that transcend physical limitations.

Paula's work focuses on creating digital environments that serve as liminal spaces where the material and spiritual worlds meet. As both a technologist and spiritual practitioner, Paula bridges ancient practices with modern innovation, demonstrating how digital tools can enhance rather than diminish spiritual connection when approached with proper intention and respect for tradition.
