Hey, I’m Nir (‘near’), and I’m here to “enhance the human experience”.
I help people to understand their mental patterns, to feel fully with their heart, and to connect with their body sensations, and what these sensations might mean.
My personal challenges, battles and patterns in life brought me to the world of Tantra: which to me, is one of the most powerful ways to deepen my relationship with myself, with others, and face the world at large.

Hi, I’m Feña.
I started my personal development journey 10 years ago with training on female sexuality and the understanding of the feminine cycles.
That took me deeper and deeper every year into trainings in Tantra and Conscious Kink. I discovered the importance of open communication and emotional intelligence, to have better relationships and deeper intimacy with others and oneself.
One day, I understood that everything I always do and learn, is connected to deepening communication with the body and the emotional experience… whatever name the technique had. Always coming back to the body experience.
I fell in love with how much healing and joy we are able to access with that simple wisdom. Not just a professional aspect, but a personal one- it’s my commitment to find ways to share the endless potential of this work in all possible ways.

Hi, I’m Kate.
I’m a musician, Kirtan leader, spaceholder, teacher and manager of The Jade Temple women’s center. My path of healing and transformation has led me through the deep study of yoga, Thai Massage, shamanism, Feminine Embodiment work, and devotional music.
I started leading kirtans and medicine song circles in 2018. Song circles unite my love for making music with the deep desire for authentic communal experiences. I am passionate about creating spaces for people to gather together, open their hearts and tap into the magic & healing power within.

We take the wisdom of ancient Tantra and Yoga teachings, and ground them with evidence based practices.
Including tools from: Breathwork, Shadow work, Psychodrama, gestalt, Mindfulness based psychotherapy, Inner-child work, to Nervous system regulation and Poly-Vagal Theory.
These practises and teachings comes from the works of Freud, Jung, Peter Levene, Pete Walker, Richard Schwartz & Steven Porges.
