Meet Deepen Guide: Zia Ray
DSCF9061.jpg

Guide of Free Bee - a hive mind experience

Emerging from the jungles of Kauai, Zia Ray brings her light, her weird, and her gifts to share with the LA community. Over the years, Zia has come face to face with her traumas, conditioning, and fears, allowing a path of radical healing, growth, and liberation, guided by the body’s intelligence.

What's your zone of genius? 

I am inspired by piercing through the veil of our culture’s conditionings. A lot of my creativity emerges from getting to hold up a mirror to our egos, our fears, our insecurities. I love to be the first person in the room to not take themselves so seriously. It ripples like a yawn. Or a fart.

How's your love life? 

I love loving love, and am currently in a deep, committed, and loving relationship with my Self. We go on dates together, Netflix and chill together, play together, laugh together, and have endless conversations about life, love, and the universe.

Why do you do what you do?

I’ve seen glimpses of a world where all beings are liberated. Where we are always tapped into our fullest expression, able to love & be loved. It’s been a hard but rewarding journey to fully love myself, and dissolve that which holds me back. Now I invite others along their path of liberation too.

Guide of #XXXPressed, Authentic Connections

Hannah Marie Muse is a High Priestess & Facilitator who has trained in the tantric arts from Bali to Bangkok, LA to NYC. Her ferocious appetite for all things sensual and spiritual lead her to creating sexy, safe, and silly spaces for people to practice living authentically and fully expressed.

What's your zone of genius? 

Being that I've trained in Tantra for over 10 years, my speciality is the body, mind, spirit connection. I'm a Masterful Ceremonialist and Ritualist who facilitates sessions and classes that guide people back to their radiant truth. It's my passion, purpose, and highest pleasure.

How's your love life? 

I am deeply in love with all of life! As for men.. Swoon! I love men of all kinds & have less of a "physical" type & more of a "spiritual" type. Are you intelligent, living on purpose, affluent, adventurous? As long as Freedom is the basis of a relationship, I'm in.

Why do you do what you do?

Because there's no other way. I was born in this body, as this human, with these interests, and the correct trauma to alchemically create the exact embodiment of what is needed to support others living fully expressed. The path is clear and full of pleasure. I'm just following my compass and saying YES!

Meet Deepen Guide: Avi Nimmer
IMG_2174.jpg

Guide of Soul-Full Reprograming

Avi works as a Transformational Soul Coach & VisionQuest Nature Facilitator. His purpose of being is helping others and self step ever further out of suffering & stagnation, and into ever greater exuberance, ease, joy, purpose, prosperity, & FUN.

What's your zone of genius? 

My zone of genius is broad and ever expanding. I help people transform their reality — no problem is insurmountable, no limitation too challenging, no block that can’t be healed & transmuted. I help people find the answers they are looking for — as are dictated and accessed fully in & by self. I walk people through their own fires, help slow down their nervous systems, create an energy of ease love & acceptance in self.

How's your love life? 

My love life is well, thanks for asking :). I am in a deepening practice of discernment with my sexual energy at this time. I am deepening connections, engaging in more consensual physical touch, opening myself up to deeper sensuality — such medicines we all desire.

Why do you do what you do?

I do what I do to deeply serve myself and others. I do what I do to create a lifestyle of freedom, joy, meaning & fun in & for myself first — we can only authentically guide others to where we know how to go ourselves, can only pour from our own cup as full as we maintain it to be. I then bring my internal medicine out into the world, for others, because it brings me a deep sense of fulfillment, meaning & purpose in my life. I can’t imagine doing anything else at this time — I love what I do so deeply.

uXskAJmm_400x400.jpg

Guide of Finders & Keepers

Chris Kazi Rolle is a matchmaker, life coach, and the founder of Together Apart, a matchmaking and lifestyle coaching company for busy professionals, helping them to find love and keep it alive.

What's your zone of genius? 

I am a healer and a helpful romantic that assists men and women to have deeper and more meaningful connections with themselves and each other. My methodology provides the genders with a process to hear and understand each other.

How's your love life? 

Full of fun and passion. I love deeply. And I am deeply loved. I've been with my wife for 12 years and our love grows deeper daily. I grew up in foster care, which taught me that you are born with relatives but you choose your family. I have familial love with people from all walks of life and I love myself more and more each day.


Why do you do what you do?

It's a calling. I grew up in foster care and my healing journey has taught me that relationships fail because people don't have the resources to succeed in them. Also, I learned from my own life that when relationships fail, it's the children who suffer most and it creates a cycle of dysfunction. I want to do my part to break the cycle.

My life is full of love. And compassion. Ask me about love and compassion - that's a good topic. I have a dream of being a general in a love army. In some ways, I sense this is already happening.

Why do you do what you do?

I am an advocate for Lasting Peace - ending the wars, fighting, and all that separates us. We're not going to get there through simply signing agreements, being nice, or doing the right thing. We have too many differences, and these differences are necessary for our evolution.

Meet Deepen Guide: Daniela Gil
daniela gil

Guide of Kash Codes

Daniela is a gifted intuitive who shares the insight and energy of Akashic (higher) perspective in support of your empowerment, elevation of consciousness, and embodiment of greater love and possibility.

What's your zone of genius? 

My zone of genius is perceiving and sharing intuitive/psychic insight and perspective! I naturally perceive people's highest potential and in holding them in the light of that vision, activate its expression. 

How's your love life? 

I like to ask, "how can I write the greatest love story possible, in this story of life?" and let the answers guide my behavior - it's lead to a life of extraordinary love, where my highest priority is love and I experience immense love! Life feels like one great romance with all.. so tantric, passionate, and mysterious, as we ride the cycles of oneness and separation, remembering and forgetting.

Why do you do what you do?

It's so obvious and clear to me that this is exactly what I'm meant to be doing. I was made for this work in every sense of the word - it's the perfect use of my innate talents, abilities and gifts - it serves others gloriously - and it inspires love, fulfillment, and well-being in myself in all.

Elise Ballard

Guide of Epiphany Circle

Elise is a writer, speaker, story researcher and author of "Epiphany" and "Epiphany: The Journal." As an epiphany expert, she loves helping people spark and fully utilize their epiphany "aha" moments.

What's your zone of genius? 

Communication. Connection. Curiosity and learning. Researching and hearing stories. I love people and am always deepening my skills for listening and encouraging people to share their stories and to build on their epiphanies. We're sharing wisdom and our gifts and talents with the world when we do, and we can't have enough of that! 

How's your love life? 

As a person who went through a crazy divorce (see Epiphany) and always had a somewhat fun yet tumultuous love life, for the first time (after kissing many a frog-who-had-prince-potential, much self-work, and of course, epiphanies), I’m in a relationship with a KIND man and it's made all the difference. Kindness is key (and DrPatAllen podcasts! ;)

Why do you do what you do?

My work is about paying it forward and getting information and what I've learned out there that helps educate, inspire and heal people as it has me. I love continually growing, sharing, gathering and deepening the experiences and tools of our epiphanies. It's practical and magical.

Guide at event Talk Nerdy to Me and Plant Beautification Volunteer Day

Ardilla is a consultant for people, projects, and products in the circular economy. Her company, Pollima, is expanding to create materials made from agricultural waste and mycelium.

What's your zone of genius? 

Circular economy! To rope in the resistant, I'm considering a new term: sustainable capitalism. Either way, my life is dedicated to creating new systems of production and consumption so that we don't have to convince any one person to change anything about their daily routine.

How's your love life? 

More to come…

Why do you do what you do?

I do what I do for biodiversity, for trees, and most specifically for ancient redwoods; to create abundance for all beings. I see humanity like an amoeba - and each person is a cilium. Each person only has time to make one squiggle in their entire life. If we work together, our one squiggle can move us in a positive, regenerative, and healthy direction.

Meet Deepen Guide: Sasha Marie Speer
SashaBioPic.JPG

Guide of HÜMAN by Sawubona

Los Angeles - based award winning filmmaker, artist, and photographer, Sasha Marie Speer, explores the threads that connect humans to each other, nature, and themselves. 

What's your zone of genius? 

My background is as a healer (Doctor of Physical Therapy) where I used a lot of mindset tools such as breathing and visualizations to heal. I have since delved further into these fields and bring forth my deep knowledge of the human mind and psychology in my art to help open up people's minds and perceptions of themselves and the world they live in.

How's your love life? 

I am recently engaged! Funny story, we actually met in an art gallery as I was pitching one of my shows (which you're technically not supposed to do, but how do you get anywhere by listening to the way things are "supposed" to be done.). We couldn't stop talking and have been together ever since!

Why do you do what you do?

Each of my shows has a very specific intention that relates to the theme. I make sure I am a 100% clearing for that intention before the show. As an example, for our REBIRTH show, I cleared out every ounce of my past that I hadn't yet dealt with, including the physical manifestations of my drawers, closet and file folders and set very clear goals for my future. Thus, I will be able to hold the space through my work and energy to allow visitors to tap into their own clearing for their future.

I love working in the realm of the healing arts, whether it is private healing sessions or community gatherings, by integrating bodywork, breath, sharing medicine songs, oracle readings, and witnessing and being present with people in their process.

How's your love life? 

It is continuously evolving and deepening as I navigate the relationship with my beloved Austrian-born husband/business partner of Purple Lotus Massage and Wellness, Michael Meier. My love life is a practice of compassion, connection, exploration, vulnerability, and remembering to taking risks. 

Why do you do what you do?

I love helping people reach that deep state of relaxation, finding homeostasis, and with that, deep healing. I especially feel instantly gratified when I’ve helped a woman have pain-free menstrual cycles, creating hormonal balance and a healthier relationship with herself and others.

It feels true. I've been through the fire of transformation many times and I know both the pain & the bliss of liberation on the other side of our fear based edges. I'm here to shine the light on those edges and support others in moving through their own initiations into freedom.
