Alaina Rose is a yogini, vocalist, and ceremonialist, with a rich history of study and practice in Classical Tantra of Nepal. It was here that she first discovered the path of Bhakti Yoga, and began sharing kirtan throughout the small ashram village at the foothills of the Himalayas.
Following a series of traumatic events that resulted in physical ailments and declining health conditions, coupled with a spontaneous kundalini awakening, Alaina has devoted her life and work to exploring the subtle energetics of the charkas & their relationship with somatic trauma-release and cellular self-healing. Plant medicine has been a profound ally in her own healing journey and the work she facilitates for others.
Her high joy is gathering community in circle together, sharing sound, ceremony, and yoga. She has lived on Lake Atitlán for the past 3 years doing just this, sharing kirtan, ceremony, vocal freedom, and retreats.

Eddie Rubio has a deep appreciation for indigenous cultures and the natural beauty of Pachamama. He expresses this through the creative mediums of visionary art and music production as Inner Space Journeys. Eddie is an earth-based multi-instrumentalist who enjoys playing instruments like the flute, crystal bowl, medicine drum, didgeridoo, guitar, charango, harmonium, and jaw harp. He has a gift for channeling Spirit and guiding people to states of unity and connection through the audio and visual spectrum.
Eddie grew up in a Colombian-American household, where the seeds of a multicultural heritage were planted. In his journey to rediscover his roots, he traveled to Colombia to study with the Kogi people of northern Colombia, and Yagé tribes of southern Colombia. With these experiences, a passion for earth medicine ceremony blossomed. He also attends Native American Church ceremonies and has worked with Bufo/Kambo practitioners. These diverse experiences informs his ceremonial work and artistic expressions.
This was such a life changing experience, I'm blown away! Thank you for organizing such a beautiful ceremony-- it was perfect!

I’ve sat in several ceremonies, and
many kirtans and song circles with Eddie and Alaina. They hold such a magical, deep, and heart centered space. Alaina brings me through portals of light, love, and activation with her pure and angelic voice and presence. Eddie helps me navigate the shadows with his humble wisdom, musical weaving, and throat chanting.
The two are a dream team and inspire me with the way they navigate conscious relationship, healing work, community building, and medicine ceremony.

I highly recommend experiencing this beautiful healing. It was potent and amazing... they thought about everything. They took care of us and made a really deep connection with nature in a place with a beautiful view.
I felt super taken care of. Their music makes the experience very magical!
“Cellular Recalibration at Lake Atitlan with the teachings of Alaina and Eddie, and the lessons learned from my soul brothers and sisters on the retreat, the power of prayer, nutrition, plant medicine, and connection has shifted my attitude and perception of life.
I was stuck in a psychological rut for many years and knew I had to take a leap of faith. What I was doing wasn't working for me anymore.
This experience allowed me to shed layers, to see through a different lens, and to feel a deep connection of oneness. The lasting effects have been profound and the positive ripple has been noticable throughout my day to day interactions.
I am blessed and beyond grateful to have been able to experience such a transformation for myself and to see the shift in my brothers and sisters as well. Much love and many blessings to all involved as I continue on my soul journey. Aho!” -Leslie B
