My name is Tiare Valouria, (She/Her) I am an animist, sorceress, and multi-disciplinary artist based in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, and Tualatin Kalapua, Mollala tribes – also known as Portland, OR which has been my home base for 20 years.

Mystically driven, theatrical dance is my passion while my specialties are Fusion Bellydance, Classical Temple Dance, Vaudeville & Ritual Theatre. I was born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands and spent my formative years dancing classical ballet and Kahiko in the Hula Halau, while also studying numerous courses in theater arts. In 2002, I began to immerse myself in studying the spiritual lineages of Trika Yoga, Vajrayana Sadhana with Swami Chrtanananda and Lama Wangdu Rimpoche under whom I became a devotee, a Vajrayogini and Chod initiate and blossomed into what has now become 20 years of practice. 

Fun fact – I am the artist formerly known as NagaSita, and many of my previous workings can be found under that name. Ceremonial embodiment has been a lifelong pursuit for me, and my mystical practices have always played a role as key components in my Ritual Theatre offerings. Portland is where I began my career as a performer, & toured with a circus for 8 years eventually growing into the role of teacher, choreographer, director and producer. I birthed the Valourian Theatre company here, and have produced a considerable number of shows in the Pacific NW, always bordering on the avant-garde and conjuring the wyrd.  

It is my personal mission to bring about an awakening in the collective to the sacredness that is in everything, our inherent magical power and the responsibility that comes with it within the web of consciousness. I have been blessed with the amazing opportunity to teach my Ritual Theatre – Temple Tableaux Format in 8 different countries, and I am now pouring all of my loving attention into new Valourian Theatre works while refining the Mystic Arts Practika here at Animara.

I am a certified Vinyasa yoga instructor, Vajrayogini/Chod Initiate and devotee of Hekate with an extensive background in Ritual Magick, Folk Magick / Conjure, and Sorcery. My dance background is built upon Ritual Theatre, Fusion Bellydance, Indian Classical Temple dance, Modern Contemporary, Vaudeville, Ballet, Folkloric, Hula and Butoh. I currently offer regular Moon Yoga and Elemental Fusion dance classes through the Animara platform, in addition to the occasional workshop immersion and/or intensive deep dives , and always set a goal for keeping my classes fun and encouraging, with a teaching approach that is pleasantly informative, fused with a focus on feeling good in your body and attuning to the cosmic signatures of the present moment, therefore easy to digest, profoundly opportune and always inspiring.
