Our story

Liladhar, a former monk, was born and raised in Belarus. Debbie grew up in the Netherlands. Both began traveling at a young age to the Far East, and their paths finally crossed when they were 36 in Kuala Lumpur on Debbie’ stopover to Australia.. The coincidental bump into each other in the streets of Kuala Lumpur became an unexpected love story. One that naturally grew into what you see here: retreats and pilgrimages born from decades of their own practice, exploration, and inner transformation.

From a young age, both sought meaning, purpose, and freedom from the conditioning of their upbringing. They dedicated themselves to cutting away habits and patterns that no longer served them, with the aim of reconnecting to their soul’s purpose and awakening the divine spark that makes life vibrant.

Together, they are raising their remarkable daughter, Jeya, now 8 years old. She has been traveling with them since she was three, including trips to India, often moving with a natural ease and familiarity that makes them wonder if she has been there before in a previous life. The bond between the three of them is playful, deep, and full of joy.

Through their retreats and pilgrimages, Liladhar and Debbie warmly open their hearts to share the gift of presence and time, offering space for you to explore your own path toward freedom, clarity, and connection with your soul.
