About Us

The key to our vision lies in careful curation. We select teachers and community leaders who offer complementary strengths rather than competing modalities. We screen for authentic lineage transmission, depth of training, and most importantly, non-ego-driven collaborative spirit. No teacher claims their tradition as superior. No lineage holds power over others. We build equitable partnerships into the foundation.

Genuine: authentically certified and transmitted teachers from diverse traditions together under one roof
Connecting seekers by providing mediation instructions, spiritual guidance, and coherent context to everyone seeking wellness and spiritual connections.
Inclusive: generous giving ensures services reach all socioeconomic levels without barriers
Growth-based mindset: cross-pollination benefits everyone and all traditions involved.

Our Team

Dedication. Expertise. Respect.

Elaine Peng

Somatic Integration Teacher

Elaine is a certified somatic instructor based in Silicon Valley and the founder of Nature Somatic. Specializing in the Feldenkrais Method, she guides individuals toward deep self-connection and nervous system regulation. With a background in Education and Psychology from UCLA, her approach helps the participants deeply connect with their inner selves and build self-awareness. It also addresses anxiety, sleep deprivation, chronic pain, and so forth. Elaine’s practice is rooted in a personal journey of profound reintegration, blending somatic education with Yoga and contemplative arts.
