Nina Butler
Nina grew up in the South African wilderness roaming barefoot beneath sunny skies, in awe of earth’s wonders. She was a high-school drop-out who traded the classroom for a yacht skipper’s qualification and started working on private yachts in the Mediterranean at 16 years old. This was the ultimate ‘university of life’ that led her into various culinary, viticultural, spiritual, and artistic pursuits around the world. She eventually navigated back to formal education and defended a Doctorate in Philosophy in 2015. Soon thereafter, she launched a start-up offering bespoke, multilingual yoga training online. This flowered into an in-person yoga travel and adventure experience business -InRetreat - and various consulting opportunities in brand strategy and communication.

Natalie Gond
Natalie blends the use of her voice and various singing bowls and other instruments as tools for mental repose and spiritual exploration. Using voice and sound for deep healing is a practice rooted in ancient traditions, and it can be incredibly powerful in promoting relaxation, emotional release, and physical restoration.
