Two people who both had a love of travel, of exploring inner and outer landscapes, and of creating amazing experiences for others started talking, and thought that maybe they could create something even better together.
Those two people were Ren and Ali…
seed + spark began when…
Ren Bowker
Renee is a facilitator and guide for exploring the inner world. Bringing a variety of breathwork and meditation practices together, Renee is passionate about helping people understand the physiology and energetics of the breath, to bring their body, mind and spirit into alignment, and release emotional and energetic blocks that are preventing them from living a free and fulfilling life.
Renee also has another life in the corporate and not-for-profit world, where she has spent many years facilitating, and bringing organisations and people together to work on making a difference to complex social issues.
Ali Barter
Ali is an itinerant explorer who has spent the past 12 years either travelling the world performing in a band, or as a tour operator with her company, Trunk India.
Ali is passionate about creating immersive and authentic experiences on her tours, exploring the people, food, art and history of each location to gain a deeper cultural understanding and in turn to feel inspired by the creativity and diversity of a place. Ali believes that a holiday should allow time to reflect, and be an opportunity to experience a different culture & way of life. This can happen abroad in Nepal, or, as may be the case, closer to home in fusing the unique practices of a seed+spark retreat with the geography of the Mornington Peninsula.
