The Facilitators
Grey
Grey has trained for 24 years across Chinese, Thai, and Filipino martial arts, including work with India’s Special Forces. His foundation is simple: if the body isn’t integrated, nothing else is real.
He now focuses on internal arts — Tai Chi, Qigong, and Xingyi — as practical systems for restoring structure, generating power, and building long-term resilience. No mysticism. Just mechanics, discipline, and internal coherence.
He teaches Thai Massage, Chi Nei Tsang, and Tok Sen across India and Southeast Asia. His bodywork is direct and functional — aimed at reorganizing tissue, not giving people a pleasant afternoon.
He facilitates contact Improvisation and somatic work to expose patterns people avoid: tension, collapse, hesitation, and mental noise that disconnects them from their bodies.
Years of Vipassana, Advaita, and Buddhist study ground his approach in clarity and self-honesty rather than performance or spiritual storytelling.
Grey’s work has one aim: to bring people back into their bodies, cut through confusion, and build a way of living that’s stable, embodied, and honest.
Gillian
Gillian guides people back into their bodies — not to escape their lives, but to meet them fully.
Her work is grounded in a simple truth: feeling is a skill. She teaches people how to inhabit the body with clarity and regulation, learning to read their own nervous system and respond with presence rather than reaction.
Nearly a decade ago, chronic disconnection and unprocessed trauma brought her to a threshold. In learning how trauma had shaped her own body and psyche, she discovered the body wasn't the enemy — it was the map. Somatic practice became the turning point that rebuilt her resilience and inner steadiness. That unraveling shaped everything that followed.
She spent years in humanitarian crisis work — leading mental health programs in refugee camps in Rwanda and supporting sex trafficking survivors in Thailand. There, she witnessed how trauma lives beyond language, held in the body and nervous system, and how healing requires more than words.
Gillian is trained in Hakomi somatic psychotherapy and certified in multiple yoga lineages, including Hatha, Restorative, Yin, and Yoga Nidra. She teaches meditation rooted in Tibetan Buddhist practice through her podcast Breathe and Release, and has led classes and workshops across Colombia, Costa Rica, Israel, Spain, and the US. She works with Thai massage, conscious connected breathwork, and pranayama as pathways back to embodied aliveness.
As head of mindfulness programming for Manawa Tamu in Spain, she designs immersive experiences in nature that help people move from mental overwhelm into grounded, felt presence.
Gillian's work is for those ready to shift from disconnection to embodiment — grounded, intuitive, and fully alive.
