About me

Yan’s Journey

My inner quest began nearly thirty years ago at university, triggered by a deep loss of meaning despite outward academic success. That crisis pulled me into an experiential odyssey across meditation, self-inquiry, and non-dual traditions. Through a series of profound satoris and awakenings between 2003 and 2012, there was a deep realization of my true nature as pure awareness.  The years that followed were dedicated to the essential groundwork of embodiment and integration — expanding and stabilizing my nervous system to function through conscious surrender amidst the daily realities of career pressures, intimate relationships, and parenting.  Since 2017, I have been facilitating mindfulness workshops and guided meditation sessions, and offering 1:1 mindfulness coaching.
