The Heart’s Door Retreats
If you are here, chances are you are someone who seeks more — deeper connection, greater clarity, and a sense of genuine vitality, authenticity and purpose. We understand that search, because it has guided our own path as well.
We—Imke and Ioana—met in 2023 at a tantric event and quickly discovered a shared passion for both tantra and plant medicine. What connected us wasn’t just the practices themselves, but the potential they hold to support real, lasting change in people’s lives.
We each bring years of experience with these practices, along with backgrounds in science and a deep respect for ancient wisdom traditions—such as meditation, breathwork, tantra, and the ceremonial use of psychedelics.
We share - both in our writings and our retreats, about how breathwork, tantric practices, and sacred plant medicine and psychedelics can be valuable tools for lasting transformation — especially when conventional ways of working with the psyche reach their limits.
