Meet our facilitators

Christo James
Christo James Dynega guides spiritually oriented individuals and couples into deeper relational truth, secure attachment, and embodied sovereignty.
With over 20 years in the holistic health and transformational field, his work bridges psychological depth and spiritual embodiment. He specializes in helping peoples untangle trauma-based adaptations, integrate shadow material, and cultivate relationships rooted in authenticity rather than defense.
Christo’s approach weaves together relational psychology, nervous system regulation, trauma healing, shadow integration, and grounded spiritual practice. His training includes certification as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator, Natural Building Expert, Trauma & Secure Attachment Specialist, Hypnotherapist, Tantra Teacher, and Bodyworker.
He does not believe you are broken — he believes you adapted.
Protective strategies that once ensured survival can soften when safety is restored. Through direct, compassionate feedback and embodied guidance, Christo supports clients in reclaiming the parts of themselves that were shaped by fear, shame, or disconnection.
Beyond one-on-one mentorship, he facilitates transformational workshops, embodied movement spaces, and relational intensives designed to cultivate deeper intimacy, sovereignty, and conscious connection.
This work is not about fixing yourself.
It is about remembering who you were before survival shaped you.
Charlie Jespergaard
Charlie Jespergaard is a maker of sacred spaces intended to support well being and inner growth, he has created The Dragon Temple, which is the mothership of The School of Embodied Wisdom. He has a strong foundation in traditional carpentry and natural building. He has also created a vibrant garden to feed all the guests of the Dragon Temple.

Charlie is a musician with a deep interest in the emotions it can awaken. He facilitates the very powerful Tantra Kriya Yoga, a collaborative breath work with ancient roots which offers a direct and beautiful approach to really experience our life energy.

 Lastly, he works with the sharing circle, offering people a space to really connect from the heart.
