The Conscious Guide · About The Conscious Guide
A guide for the world we want to live in
The Conscious Guide brings conscious events, retreats, classes, gatherings and meaningful experiences together in one place, making them easier to discover near you and around the world.
What this guide is
This guide gives you one place to discover them without already knowing where to look.
Many of these experiences are easy to miss unless you already know the organiser, studio or community behind them.
For people who want to live more consciously. For people who are looking for community. For people who care about healing, nature, animals, movement, spirituality, purpose and a kinder way of being in the world.
Why this exists
Finding your people should not feel so hard.
Conscious living is not limited to what we practise alone at home.
It is also the people we meet, the places we choose, what we support and how we spend our time.
The guide makes those choices easier to find.
A class after work, a retreat when you need space, a place to volunteer when you want to give back, or a gathering that reminds you that you are not alone in wanting more.

From the founder
Why I created The Conscious Guide
Where the idea began
In 2024, I travelled to Bali and fell in love with Ubud. I loved the warmth of Balinese culture and how present it felt in daily life, with offerings outside homes and shops, temples all around, and a strong connection to ritual, spirituality and nature.
Places such as The Yoga Barn and Pyramids of Chi offered yoga, meditation, sound healing and workshops, while smaller studios and facilitators offered breathwork, dance, ceremonies and talks. There was always something happening and it was easy to try something new.
What I loved most was how normal it felt to care about healing, self-discovery, purpose and spiritual growth. It was easy to meet people who were interested in the same things. I didn't have to search very hard or explain why these things mattered to me.
Coming back to Europe
When I returned to Europe, I knew these communities were here, but finding them was different. Unless I already knew the right organiser or page to follow, I often had no idea what was happening nearby.
I wanted one place where I could see what was happening, understand what each experience offered and decide whether it felt right for me. I also wanted it to be easier to find people who shared similar interests and values.
The village I imagined
At first, I imagined one physical village by the sea in Europe. A place where people could practise, learn, heal, volunteer, eat plant-based food, spend time in nature and meet others who wanted to live more consciously.
I would still love for that place to exist one day. But when I think about what I really wanted to create, it was never only about the location. It was the feeling of finding your people, belonging somewhere and having spaces where you could be fully yourself.
The village can be anywhere
When I came back to Europe, I started to see the vision differently. We do not need to wait for one perfect place. We can create the village wherever we are: through a circle, a class, a retreat, a volunteer project, a thoughtful space or simply by bringing the right people together.
That is what The Conscious Guide means to me. It helps us find those people, places and experiences, so we can build smaller villages in the places where we already live.
And maybe, little by little, these villages will connect across cities and countries and become one big village around the world. I would still love to build the place by the sea. But the real village does not need to wait. We can start creating it now, wherever we are.
