What is mentorship?
“Mentorship” is a modern term for an ancient process that has played an integral part of all wisdom traditions throughout history. Traditionally, it is a system of personalized guidance given from teacher to student along the path of learning. In a more modern context, mentorship is often termed "coaching", whereby a mentor shares their knowledge, skills and experience to assist others in their own lives and careers. Mentorship has long been understood to play a vital role in any path of human endeavour, especially in the arena of living an examined life.
Who is mentorship for?
Our approach to mentorship works best for people wanting to learn and grow, those seeking self development and spiritual growth without having to check their critical reasoning at the door. The purpose and process of our guidance varies depending on your needs and aspirations. Whether you are someone seeking answers to the big existential questions, a yoga teacher/student in need of professional guidance, or simply someone looking for practical advice in all spheres of life, we're here to help.
How does it work?
There are 3 options to choose from depending on your intentions, goals and the nature of your enquiry:
Single Sessions

Why should I do it?
Meeting thousands of people from many cultures and walks of life, we've found that most have only glimpsed the essential quality of being -- an experience of peace and love, free from the suffering of our limited beliefs. We all long to thrive and live from that level of awareness, but most don't know how to find it and sustain it intentionally. Humanity has made rapid technological progress in recent times, and yet much of our brain and consciousness operate as if we were still living in primitive times, overly stressed, confused and insecure. It seems obvious that if we're to survive and thrive in the twenty-first century, we must consciously participate in evolving and upgrading ourselves. That is why we have decided to offer this path of mentorship and personally work with any seeker committed to self development who is willing to dedicate themselves to finding clarity and purpose in their life.
We can all learn how to meditate, de-stress and intentionally shift into awake awareness in order to grow into the next stage of our human development. We are very fortunate that many ancient wisdom traditions and their time-tested teachings have been preserved for thousands of years. The purpose of our work as teachers and mentors is to share this ancient knowledge in a simple and accessible way through all of our offerings. Put it simply, we are dedicated to serving as your humble guides into the true nature of why you are here. Awake awareness is the foundation of living a meaningful life, yet we know very little about it. Different traditions have given it various names such as Truth, God, Peace, Love, Source, Being, True Nature, Enlightenment, Unity or Spirit, but perhaps the simplest name is Awareness. Although "awakening" may be beyond precise description, living from awake awareness is a palpable experience and therefore learnable and teachable to those who are ready. The result of this process is the discovery of a deeper sense of connection, purpose and awareness in all parts of your life. We look forward to connecting, sharing and growing with you.
With love from earth to air,
Honza & Claudine Lafond
