I speak with Jasmeen Hana about her current work to create an emerging temple village/ sanctuary in Egypt. We talk about what it takes to make our visions and sense of destiny happen, and the circular path that often brings us back to exactly where we started. Crucially, we have to have the journey to be truly ready. Jasmeen is a devotee to the Egyptian mysteries and shares about her relationship with Egypt and lessons from the indigenous elders she is working alongside.
About Jasmeen
Jasmeen Hana, of Egyptian heritage, grew up in Cairo, where her transformative journey into ancient wisdom and self-discovery began in her teenage years. By her early twenties, she had delved into Vipassana meditation, yoga, shamanic practices, and the sacred use of the blue lotus in tea ceremonies. In her mid twenties she expanded her path through acting and tantra, exploring the deep embodiment of emotion and energy.
At 30, Jasmeen became a facilitator with the International School of Temple Arts where for the past nine years, she has guided individuals through profound, life-changing experiences.
During that time she also dedicated herself to offering shamanic journeys through Egypt in the form of her beloved Nile journeys.
As a devotee of Auset (Isis), Jasmeen is passionate about building conscious communities that foster healing and transformation. She founded Bliss School as an online platform for holistic education, ritual, and growth. Through her work, Jasmeen bridges ancient Egyptian wisdom with modern practices, empowering others to connect with their roots and embody their full potential.
She is currently married and lives in the south of Egypt in a regenerative emerging temple village/ sanctuary.

Carly shares about her deep connection to her land and animals and how we can learn about true leadership - as leadership of the life principle - through humility and working with the elements, the animal kingdom and the majesty of the human body.
About Carly
My path of specializing in female biology + hands on hands in pelvic work started, as many others do, healing my own body from sexual abuse, medical gynecological injury, birth control use, a fractured connection from my womanhood + lineage. And the personal initiations of drug and alcohol addiction, STI’s, IUD’s, abortions, miscarriages, to healing myself from chronic pelvic inflammation, endometriosis and premature ovarian failure, sexual and sensual reclamation.
I believe in the journey of descent, so l dove head first into the pain, pleasure, teachings, wisdom, infinite potential my womb had to show me. To know her and be able to fully walk this path.
I am a guide into the depths of the female terrain, anatomy, and physiology.
I walk with women through our full Womb Continuum, exploring the layers of our flesh, feminine intelligence, and primal bodies. Merging the worlds of sacred and science.
All of my work is devoted to the innate intelligence within every cell of our body and to the remembrance of our feminine nature.

I speak with Luzi Pods about leading from embodied wisdom and being the architect of your own transformation. We cover the beauty and riches that can come from being your own teacher and taking all that you've learnt and letting it inform and feed your own creative artistry. We also talk about the importance of creating community and where the work of conscious sexuality, the Temple Arts and facilitation may be going as people look away from old paradigm leaders for the answers. Noting the importance of those wanting to facilitate and lead, to stay humble to their human fallibility. Luzi also shares about her work to create sacred spaces where people can meet their edges, uncover more aspects of self, experience a dose of magic AND take the lessons home into daily embodied practice so they can show up in the world with their particular gifts.
You can listen to another conversation with Luzi and Olivia on Sexology, Ecology and Transformation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_QGwFOzfZk&t=1902s

In the first episode of Integritas, I speak with Jon Eden Khan. We talk about why leadership rooted in soulful values is so needed at this time in society's evolution, the concept of clean power and how leading from a place of purity ignites leadership in service to truth, integrity and a more beautiful world. This episode was recorded close to the US Presidential Election of 2024 and draws on themes and reflections about the kind of leadership we want to see in the world.
About Jon:
Jon is a transformational leader, mentor, facilitator, and father, living in his beloved home city of Berlin.

He is founder of AVATARA, which is dedicated to humanity’s collective awakening as an expression of the one universal life, and the anchoring of that revelation in new approaches to power, education, and money. And he mentors soul-driven leaders, from top corporate business leaders and FinTech trailblazers, to LGBT rights activists in the Middle East, to some of the most respected facilitators of transformational self-development work in the world. Between 2016-2018 Jon worked as European Director of the Global Purpose Movement, and in 2014, he co-founded Synergy Forum, an initiative focussed on the integration of spiritual awakening, social innovation and systems transformation. Between 2012-2015 he worked as part of the leadership team of Zero Point Six in Interlaken, Switzerland, exploring how a deeper understanding of spiritual awakening can inform efforts toward global transformation. Jon’s path has allowed him to experience a wide spectrum of the human experience. From dropping out of school at age 13 to attend a centre for troubled youths, to 5 years of homelessness and heroin addiction in his early 20’s to getting clean alone in a room over 6 months. From re-entering education and going on to turn down a PhD with one of the foremost universities in the world, to dedicating himself fully to self-development, healing his traumas and service, to co-leading international projects dedicated to humanity’s collective awakening through new approaches to leadership, power, and purpose.
