Dr Andrea Paige

Module 1

Leapt past the “fuck it” barrier, Andi courageously fires forward, charging to defend the cosmic order of our species. Holding higher standards for what it means to be human, she teaches Jedis and machines to become Applied Epigeneticists: the doctors of the future. After a decade-long, highly public career as a Naturopath, directing the wellness center at the largest retreat center in the world, running global fasting retreats and teaching yoga teacher trainings, Andi speaks on the human interface…

How can you improve your relationship with yourself by collecting more data points on your human experience (awareness)? This involves anything from embodiment to interpersonal communication. Andi teaches the things you wish you’d learned in school. Knowing 2020 would be the tipping point of our modern area, Andi founded The Institute For Aliveness, online courses humanity desperately needs, with students from 50+ countries. We have a flagship first-of-it’s-kind accredited Master’s program in Applied Epigenetics.

Andi also runs Physiological Computing - a colony ship, actively programming the future - at the intersection of human physiology & Technology. She joins Rachel in this landmark facilitator training program to continue to uplevel the standards of how we are showing up in holding space for others and seeks to impart hard-earned mastery onto those who are ready to answer the call.

Lennart Hennig

Module 3

Lennart is a growth and leadership facilitator. He explores the edges of individual and collective development through the angles of consciousness, embodiment, safety, trauma, and deep ecology using an integral framework of the whole, undivided cosmos.

His deepest inquiry is the potential we tap into when we dissolve the paradigm of separation that is underneath our identity and our whole culture, and begin embodying and integrating the truth of wholeness into our sense of self and our actions. Accepting and integrating every part of our being, embracing our full human experience and walking towards a state of authenticity and vulnerability from where we recognize the profound interdependency we are a part of.

He is particularly intrigued by the alchemical potential our collective and individual wounding and shadows hold for us, when we start honoring death and darkness as a place of growth and rebirth, and how we can step into a dialectical relationship towards more truth instead of polarization when we take responsibility for an internally regulated somatic sense of safety.

Bringing the principles of liberation, love, and leadership to individuals and organizations wanting to act from their true purpose as a conscious part of the whole is at the core of his work.

Elaine Yonge

Module 4

I am sometimes described by those who experience my offerings as a Celtic blend of a Breathworker, Bodyworker, Spiritual Sexologist and Somatic Scientist.

I sense there is an alchemy to my way of creating processes & spaces that arises from my training in older lineage traditions as a Tantra Educator and a Shamanic Minister; merged and complemented by the modern lineages of Certified Sexological Bodywork, Certified Breathwork Facilitator and her 20 years of clinical practice as a Medical Scientist. I am the founder of Master Your Pleasure, an initiation journey to reconnect to pleasure as an essential medicine & possibility for prayer. I am a Lead Faculty member of The International School of Temple Arts ISTA.

I love to share events & deep immersion experiences around the globe and online, often in 10 or more countries a year. My 'house' is in London, my 'homeland' is Scotland and my home is always changing.

I journeyed for 20 years in research and direct patient care as Medical Scientist with my own clinical practice. I bring this powerful experience of the physical manifestations of dis-ease to my current offerings. I enjoy to bridge the, apparent and illusion of a gap between science and spiritually with love and respect for both.

My passion lies in healing emotional wounds, opening to deeper vulnerable relating, awakening soul & sexual energy, and owning of our authentic personal power & fragility. This often unfolds through integrating sexuality & spirituality via the physical body, energy body, consciousness, mind and soul energies using practical experiential learning and deep transformation ritual space.

Ultimately my desire is for all of us to be more alive in our life. To appreciate and make the most of the opportunities that arise and to face our challenges, pain, shadows, power, desire, fragility, clear & heal our pain, open to love, connection, magic, pleasure, to claim and include our souls journey and to transform whatever is in the away of this ...as we move through our time here in this body, on this planet, at this time.

Vaishnavi Brassey

Assistant

Vaishnavi is a singer of the sacred, a playful voice-worker and a highly-attuned nervous system whisperer.

After a science degree and a career in film and TV production, she was extremely surprised to reconnect with her ancient priestess nature over several years in a large Indian ashram. Through a decade of burnout and chronic illness, she has crawled through some very dark tunnels and found light - leaving her with an unshakeable faith in the phoenix-like nature of the human heart.

Vaishnavi has been sensitively facilitating transformational group work since 2001: from yoga and voice workshops and retreats to Listening School to Deep Work: a 6-month women’s programme for thriving beyond old limits. One of her greatest passion projects was co-creating and launching Embodied Intimacy’s flagship online training ReSource in 2020 - fired by her enthusiasm to share the body of work that has so upgraded her own life.

Relentlessly awestruck by the magical nature of the metamorphosis that occurs within the safe spaces she holds, she is profoundly touched to witness others to deepening back into their most authentic selves and reclaiming their own inner Eden. Although she increasingly lives a fairytale woodland existence—catching songs and talking to trees whilst birds alight on her fingertips—her ongoing practice is rooted in the notion that “Paradise is an inside job”.
