Bologna, September 2025 – How can one tell the story of a writer who unites the luminous roots of South Africa with the green silence of the Apennines? One must follow her journey, catch the nuances: the writing, the inner search, the creativity that takes shape not only on the page but in every gesture of daily life. This is the story of Elira Thalen, an author who dedicates her spiritual work to those who seek listening and awakening.




“Distant roots, nearby horizons: from South Africa to the Apennines, the creative life of Elira Thalen.”




A journey between two worlds

Born in South Africa, a land of contrasts and vast horizons, Elira carries within her the memory of immense landscapes, intense light, and a profound sensitivity. Her arrival in Italy marked a change of rhythm: from the energy of the Global South to the quiet of the Bolognese hills.
“The Apennines,” she says, “are a silent and fertile home. Here, words rise like springs, simple and authentic, like the voice of the Soul when you choose to listen.”

A creative soul

Elira is not only a writer but also a creative. Her life is filled with projects, visions, and insights that go beyond the written page. Each of her works is born as an artistic experience: a union of words, symbols, decrees, and structures that speak directly to the heart.
For her, creativity is not an intellectual exercise, but a natural act: a way of giving form to the invisible, of translating vibrations into language.


Writing as an act of memory

Elira’s work is not a manual, nor a teaching, but a living transmission. The pages breathe, vibrate, and invite the reader to rediscover what has always been known.
“I don’t write to teach,” she explains, “but to remember. The memory of the Soul is already within us, ready to blossom. It only takes a gesture, a seal, a word: and suddenly the memory is alive again.”

Her work and its themes

Her spiritual work, The Power of Discipline – Spiritual Edition, weaves together the Universal Laws of the Kybalion, decrees, and seals in a path leading to inner freedom.
Originally published in Italian, it has since been translated into English and Spanish, reaching readers in different countries.

The themes she explores are universal:

  • spiritual discipline as a way of centering,

  • the dialogue with the Soul as life’s compass,

  • contemplation as the language of the heart,

  • conscious creation as responsibility.

Each of Elira’s works is conceived not as a text to be studied, but as a traveling companion: a living presence that accompanies those who read it.

The Apennines as home and inspiration

Today Elira lives in the Bolognese Apennines, in a setting that alternates between nature and simple daily life. Like other artistic and literary figures who have found refuge in these hills, for her the Apennines are a laboratory of life and writing.
“Nature teaches,” she confides, “and the voice of the Soul is its echo. Walking through the woods, watching a sunset, or simply sitting in silence: this is where the truest words are born.”

Questions and answers with the author

What does writing mean to you?
“Writing is a dialogue with the most authentic part of myself. It is giving voice to what doesn’t pass through the mind, but already lives in the heart. Each work is a bridge between the visible and the invisible.”

What is the strongest message you feel for your readers?
“That there is no need to search far. Everything we seek is already within us. My work doesn’t give answers, but reminds each one of their own path.”

How has South Africa marked you?
“It is a land of light and contrasts, and that vastness is always with me. Italy and the Apennines have taught me intimacy and rootedness. From the encounter of these two worlds, my voice is born.”

How would you describe your creativity?
“I don’t consider it a talent, but a natural flow. Creativity is the breath of the Soul, and I choose to listen to it and translate it into forms that can accompany others.”


A quiet yet growing community

Her first work has begun to circulate not only in Italy but also abroad, thanks to translations. Her readers include spiritual seekers, artists, visionaries, and ordinary people who feel the need to reconnect with an authentic center.
There are no aggressive strategies, only spontaneous sharing, word of mouth, and a quiet community that grows day by day.

Conclusion: a voice for our time

In an age dominated by noise, Elira Thalen’s writing represents a silent revolution.
From South Africa to the Apennines, from distant roots to the hearts of her readers, her words become an invitation to rediscover oneself. Not a guide, not a method, but a voice that accompanies, reminds, and restores beauty.
