Lilit Avakian

archiver, mentor, artist

  • I was born to Armenian immigrants in the deep south of Louisiana. At age 9, I found myself relocated to Chicago where I spent my teenage years. After moving out at 17, I acclimated myself to life as a solo woman on the road.

    My love for exploring the road less traveled has gifted me a creative edge in the way I mentor, facilitate, and document my story.

    My deepest gift is in sharing resources to support a birds eye view way of living. I support my clients in simplifying their lives, so they can truly know what it feels like to be present.

    I do this through facilitating creative workshops, sharing nervous system regulation techniques, hosting seasonal group containers, mentoring 1:1 through philosophical synthesis, and developing hands on cultural research on human dynamics.

  • Inside my monthly membership, The Living Archive, is an invitation to consume more intentionally.

    Where can we gain deeper insights through exposure to new cultures, unknown places, and lost traditions?

    I deliver information slowly, on purpose. An affordable way to receive nudges, reflection points, and fresh perspectives each month.

    Enter here!

As an Armenian artist, I aim to investigate the essence of unspoken human relation through movement, poetry, land, and sensational exploration.

With support from my collection of living archives, I develop works that embody philosophical, sociological, and psychological findings of a diaspora woman on the road.

The unity of research, contemplation, and sensation actively guides the way I process my representations of the unspoken, natural intelligence within, and it’s relation to historical and contemporary expressions.

“Having Lilit as a coach has been a true joy and a transformative experience. I love how she incorporates movement, dance, visualization exercises for grounding and reflections. Her insights and guidance have helped shape me as a coach, activating ideas, creativity, and self trust in me.

Motivating me to push forward with my ideas and goals in becoming a healing arts facilitator. Lilit is brilliant, poetic, artsy, and intuitive with her approach for transformational healing. I highly recommend Lilit for anyone looking to activate creativity, healing, and inspired change!”

Naela | 1:1 resourcing client

I was raised in Houma, Louisiana, a town one hour South of New Orleans. My parents were just 17 and 19 when they found out they were expecting and traveled to start a life in America.

Every meal was a feast, every conversation was 10x louder than normal, 24/7 facetime calls to over seas relatives, and a blend of Armenian and Russian language I could never quite fully grasp. Through research and artistic expression, I have grown to deeply appreciate the uncaptured beauty of Home. The Living Archive is for those with wandering questions, curiosities around their roots, and those craving a gentle nudge towards using art as a vessel to connect with their genius.
