Lena Laforet Del mar

Lena is a homesteader, yogi, Zen practitioner, and ceremonial cacao keeper. With an earthy presence and a voice that feels like home, she holds space with grace—inviting others into the quiet sanctuary of their inner temple. Her teachings reflect a richly woven, multicultural life and carry the depth of lived wisdom.

Often called a “keeper of the sacred moment,” Lena is gifted in the art of blessing. She guides seasonal ceremonies and sacred gatherings that reawaken our innate ability to offer and receive blessing. With reverence, she has held formal service and supported her community through life’s meaningful thresholds.

Lena’s experience spans continents and traditions. She has taught mindfulness at international teacher trainings, and facilitated retreats and workshops that blend earth-based ritual with contemplative practice. In 2015, she received Bodhisattva Vows in the Soto Zen tradition. Her formal certifications include Modo Yoga (Level I & II, 700 hours), Vinyasa (200 hours), and Yin Yoga (100 hours), with many additional hours of study and practice.
