Luke Iorio

Journeying with Carissa and Yeshua since December 2019, Luke entered this stage of his journey from a completely different scene and environment. 

Luke was formerly the CEO of a world renowned coach training institute. An entrepreneur and seemingly  typical business man, Luke knows all about the world of achieving, planning, figuring things out, getting painfully stuck in one’s head and entangled in too many commitments — which led him into burnout and a very dark night of the soul. 

His burnout leapt him out of his more traditional journey where his growth was backed by science, psychology, habit formation and achievement to studying multiple wisdom traditions from the Far East, through Gnosticism and Eastern Christianity to Native American traditions, and ultimately Yeshua and Christ Consciousness. 

Luke has been a coach for nearly 20 years, focusing mostly on spiritual development and transformation in the last 6+ years — with a specialty in supporting men (though not exclusively) who are in a midlife awakening. Luke takes an integrative approach to this work, drawing on coaching, circling, meditation, and somatic breathwork (which many journey-goers have now experienced) blended with Yeshua and ancient wisdoms to support his clients.

He has many more credentials but they just aren’t worth listing out! It’s his energy, presence, connection with the Divine, and ability to share from his personal experience that guides his way of facilitating now.

Nik McRae

Having been introduced to the world of spiritual evolution by his mother at a very young age, Nik has spent the majority of his life dedicated to the personal embodiment and guidance of others in the integration of their essence.

After a series of dark nights and tests of faith during his formative years, Nik began journeying with Carissa in May of 2014 just days before his 21st birthday. Little did he know what a pivotal role this would play in the evolution of his own essence and life trajectory. Since then he has served on many journeys, both witnessing and experiencing countless awakenings and transformations over the years.

Specializing in the esoteric arts of astrology, human design and intuitive energy work, Nik uses the language of the stars, metaphors, and emotional resonance to support the awareness and embodiment of our essence in a way that feels grounded and natural. Not shying away from the polarities and heavier aspects of the soul's journey, he helps us to feel safe in exploring our depths and distilling the true gifts of our being. 

While Nik has been facilitating groups, teaching classes and working with individuals for over a decade in the field of spiritual development and evolution, his greatest joy comes from the heartfelt connections that are made in the process. Sharing the experience of blooming into essence and creating lasting bonds that form the foundations of community along the way.

Uta Opitz

Uta found her way to Yeshua and Christ consciousness via a career in international business that came with its challenges and led to panic attacks and a variety of health disorders.

On her search for a more balanced life she dove deep into Yoga, Meditation, and eventually the healing arts. As she was finding more balance, and ease within herself, she began sharing what had been supportive for her with clients in 2011. 

In 2017 Uta started joining Carissa on her journeys and it has been a journey of growth and joy that keeps unfolding.

​

By Yeshua’s grace, Uta now offers individual and group energy sessions which support her clients in bringing balance into various aspects of their lives, ultimately by reminding them of their essence on an experiential level.
