Four Ways to Freedom

Four Ways to Freedom is a personal development and spiritual framework founded by Evangelos Diavolitsis and Nishta Matarese. It weaves together four pathways: mindfulness, money, movement and mystery. The work brings the path of awakening together with meditation, movement, art and business, and teaches the principles of Dharma in modern language. Their approach is non-dogmatic, creative and experiential, offering practical, embodied tools for spiritual awakening.

Evangelos describes himself as a playful and forthright Dharma teacher, movement facilitator and coach. Raised in a Greek-Canadian household, he earned a degree in Urban Planning and left his first week on the job, drawn instead to psychology and existential questions. For over 25 years he has trained under Qapel and Catherine Sensei of the Tibetan Buddhist Namgyal Lineage. He is a certified 5Rhythms teacher, mentored by Gabrielle Roth, and a Behavioral Money Coach trained by Deborah Price.

Nishta grew up under the Texas sky, where nights spent sleeping outside awakened a lifelong search for mystery and wisdom. She entered the Dharma path at 28 through the Ridhwan School of the Diamond Approach and spent many years immersed in the teachings of Osho. More recently she has studied Vajrayana Buddhism and Western Mysteries within the Namgyal lineage. She is a certified Behavioral Money Coach and a certified Open Floor International teacher, with more than 25 years of embodiment and movement practice.

Together they lead movement and meditation retreats and workshops internationally. Residential mindfulness retreats are built around meditation, supported by Dharma teachings, shadow work, conscious movement and digital detox. They also coach individuals and groups, with a focus on behavioural money coaching, relationship issues and mentorship for people going through a difficult spiritual metamorphosis. Their teaching is heartfelt, humorous and clear.
