Meet Tanya Lea | Modern Bard & Founder of Harmonia

Enter My World

I’m Tanya Lea. If labels are helpful, the one that fits best is modern bard. I work through story, symbol, and reflection, speaking to the full spectrum of human experience rather than a single spiritual lane.
 

I’ve always lived between worlds. As a child, I perceived what others couldn’t, held conversations beyond the visible, and moved through a vivid inner landscape that never truly quieted. Like many intuitives, I learned how to adapt. I learned how to blend in, how to soften what I sensed, and how to function inside the structures of everyday life.
 

Alongside this inner world, I built a grounded creative career. I spent over a decade working as a photographer, producer, writer, and digital project lead, moving between creative direction, storytelling, and project execution. Whether behind the lens or behind the scenes, my work consistently centered moments of transition, identity, celebration, and change. I didn’t recognize it at the time, but I was already doing what I continue to do now: holding space for people to be seen without performance or polarity.
 

In 2012, my life entered a period of unraveling. A divorce. An autoimmune disease. A collapse. A reorientation of identity that included closing my photography business and turning inward in a new way. During that time, my intuitive and mediumship awareness came back online fully, without negotiation. I began working with mirror reflection as both witness and inquiry, using self-observation as a living practice rather than a concept.
 

Not long after, I began sharing collective Tarot readings publicly through online platforms and live readings. That work unfolded organically and revealed a need for community, grounded teaching, and shared language around self-divination as a tool for self-development. Through this process, I stepped more fully into the role of teacher, using divination not as performance, but as a reflective practice meant to be lived.

What I Teach and Why

When you take my digital courses or join my live workshops, I’m not just the teacher. I’m the student as well.
 

I learn through live dialogue, shared reflection, and the feedback that continues to shape this work over time. These offerings are not one-and-done. They are living teachings that I revisit, refine, and deepen as the community engages with them.

​

I don’t teach people what to think. I teach how to listen. Structure matters here. History matters. Mythology, Tarot, Runes, and symbolic systems all carry lineage and form, and we honor that foundation so you feel grounded and fluent in the language.

From there, the work opens. Once you know the structure, you learn to trust yourself. If a symbol speaks differently to you in a moment, that inner knowing becomes part of the conversation rather than something to override.

​

This work includes shadow exploration and somatic practices that support integration, awareness, and self-trust. The goal is not mastery or perfection, but relationship. With yourself, your intuition, and how you move through the world.

​

I teach what I’m actively practicing.
And I remain in the work alongside you.
