Kelly has been working with the body for 20 years on the international stage as performer, author and speaker Immodesty Blaize. Off stage, her therapeutic work is underpinned by professional trainings including clinical EFT, Gabor Mate's CI approach, eating psychology, and embodied meditation. Kelly evolved her Body Compassion approach to help people in the realm of transforming and healing their relationship with their body; to live in it with less judgment, more trust, agency and confidence. For those with naturally thin boundaries of Self, understanding and appreciating their bodies - and emotions - as having implicit boundaries, invites a return to the body as a beautiful home.

William Allen is the author of Confessions of a Sensitive Man and On Being a Sensitive Man. He leads with insights drawn from his extensive work as an advocate for HSP men. He is a certified hypnotist and brain training coach, author and advocate for HSP Men.  He believes that male sensitivity is not so rare, but it can be confounding for most males living in a culture of masculine insensitivity which teaches boys and men to disconnect from their feelings and emotions. As a highly sensitive individual himself, William combines personal experience, professional expertise, and engaging storytelling to create a transformative learning experience.  William offers a course on Highly Sensitive Men through the Highly Sensitive Human Acadamy and will be offered to retreat participants at a discounted price.

Katie Mottram has over 25 years’ experience in the mental health field and is passionate about bridging Western mental health paradigms with spirituality. A founding director of the International Spiritual Emergence Network (ISEN), she advocates for reframing mental health crises as potential opportunities for transformation. In 2017, Katie launched the global 'Emerging Proud' campaign to amplify stories of personal growth through crisis, inspired by her own journey through suicidality and awakening. Her 2024 heuristic research, Is There Meaning in Madness?, explores integrating transpersonal, transcultural approaches into mainstream care to reduce pathologisation and promote holistic healing. Katie consults for the UK charity Imroc, and is currently producing a documentary through The ELEPHANT Collective, which she co-founded with Sameer. She’s also part of the Community Research Team for an NIHR study exploring the Soteria model as an alternative to psychiatric inpatient care in the UK.

Sameer is a filmmaker and the co-founder of the Kundalini Collective, an organisation established in 2018 to support individuals navigating spiritual awakenings. His own transformative ‘Kundalini awakening’ in 2006 profoundly reshaped his life, inspiring a deep exploration of spiritual and shamanic traditions across the globe.

An Economics graduate from the London School of Economics, Sameer began his career in the City before transitioning into film finance. However, his spiritual journey catalysed a shift toward a creative path. As a filmmaker, his works have been acquired by Sony and Sky Arts and showcased at prestigious festivals such as Palm Springs.

Recently, Sameer produced a British-Iranian feature adaptation of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, reimagined as The Bitter Tears of Zahra Zand. He is now developing The Elephant, a documentary exploring ‘Non-Ordinary Transformative Experiences’ and their profound implications.
