The Facilitators
Grey
Grey works at the intersection of movement, therapeutic bodywork, and meditation, guiding people toward greater resilience, embodied awareness, and inner clarity. His approach integrates martial arts, somatic intelligence, and contemplative practice to support grounded transformation.
With over 24 years of experience in martial arts, Grey has developed an integrative approach that combines martial principles, functional movement, therapeutic touch, and mindful inquiry. His work is grounded in the understanding that body and mind are deeply interconnected, and that cultivating this relationship can lead to greater adaptability, coherence, and well-being.
His path has been shaped by both physical discipline and contemplative immersion. Alongside decades of martial arts training, Grey has spent extended time studying and practicing in Advaita and Buddhist ashrams across India, including two years dedicated intensively to Vipassana meditation, self-retreat, silence, and sustained mindful observation. This depth of practice continues to inform the way he teaches movement, healing, and self-inquiry.
Through workshops, retreats, and specialized trainings, Grey teaches martial arts, therapeutic bodywork, contact improvisation, meditation, and embodied movement practices. He has worked with Indian special forces, people with special needs, corporate professionals, and public figures. He also studied visual arts professionally, a background that informs his sensitivity to form, perception, and expression.
At the core of Grey’s work is a commitment to aligning body and mind in ways that support a more embodied, adaptable, and liberated way of being.
As an advanced therapeutic Thai massage practitioner trained in India and Thailand, a meditation teacher, and a somatic practitioner, her work lives at the intersection of touch, presence, and deep listening. At Lotus Beings, she teaches the practices that form the foundation of every skilled Thai massage practitioner's work: mindfulness and metta — loving-kindness as both a felt sense and a living ethic. Her meditations for therapists are designed to do what the work demands: prevent burnout, replenish the giver, and make a sustainable, heart-led practice possible.
She spent years working in the humanitarian sector, working with individuals impacted by sex trafficking in Thailand and leading mental health programming in a Rwandan refugee camp. These experiences shed light on what she had long sensed to be true: that trauma lives in the body, and so does the capacity to heal. Offering mindfulness sessions in refugee camps deepened her conviction that presence, breath, and stillness can reach places conversation simply cannot.
Trained in Hakomi somatic psychotherapy and certified across multiple yoga and breathwork lineages, Gillian also serves as Head of Wellness Programming for Manawa Tamu in Spain, designing immersive retreats that move people from mental overwhelm into grounded, embodied presence. She teaches meditation through her podcast Breathe and Release and has led workshops across four continents.
Her work is for those who want to give from fullness, not depletion — and for anyone ready to stop thinking about their life and start living inside it.
