Our Team

Lena

Lena

Lena's work is born from her own journey of healing and integration. For more than a decade, she has dedicated her life to exploring the deep connections between mind, body, and spirit. Her passion is not to offer answers, but to create a safe, compassionate space where guests can uncover their own.

She guides individuals and couples through transformative experiences using a blend of powerful, time-honored practices. This includes expertly-held psychedelic journeys, authentic Tantra, yoga, sound healing, and meditation. Her approach is grounded and direct, focused on helping guests do the real work of reconnecting with themselves and finding a more authentic way of being.

Lena's path is built on a foundation in holistic nutrition and wellness, Yoga and Tantra with decades of experience in Canada, USA and Mexico. This journey has been one of constant learning and, most importantly, of doing her own inner work. She is not a guru; she is a guide who brings years of dedicated practice and the highest standards to hold a secure container for your transformation.

Konstantin

A software engineer by trade, Konstantin has been driven by his desire to understand how everything works. His quest to understand life led him to study physics, philosophy, metaphysics, psychology, physiology, music and art.

His transformative journey has taken him from pragmatism to yogic devotion, through periods of skepticism and personal challenges, ultimately emerging as an advocate for holistic healing and spiritual growth. Through his experiences living in different countries, raising a family, and maintaining a corporate career, he developed practical approaches to maintaining balance and well-being.

Passionate about spiritual development, yoga, meditation, hypnosis, and EMDR, Konstantin has personally experienced their effectiveness in overcoming various life challenges. He holds a science degree from the University of Toronto and has completed additional training in hypnotherapy and EMDR.
