Meet the Practitioners

Kacey Cardin

Kacey Cardin is a Professional Certified Coach, energy healer, and the founder of Chakralesque, a transformational practice that blends dance, movement therapy, coaching, and energy work. With a background as a professional opera singer and burlesque performer, Kacey brings depth, creativity, and intuitive wisdom to her work, helping people reconnect with their authentic selves and lead with bold, embodied presence.

Jeff Zacharski

Jeff Zacharski is a men’s leadership coach, retreat facilitator, and author of The Second Initiation. He works with men who are ready to strip away the layers of compromise and step into their most purposeful, powerful selves. Through his coaching, retreats, and immersive experiences, Jeff helps leaders embody the strength, clarity, and integrity they’ve been seeking.

"My practice is about bringing men back to the raw, unshakable truth of who they are. It’s where vision meets action, where the masks fall away, and the man who’s been hiding finally steps forward. I do this work because I know what it’s like to live disconnected from your own power—and I also know the freedom and clarity that come when you reclaim it. Every time I guide someone through this process, I watch them stand taller, speak truer, and move through life with a steadiness that can’t be faked."

“My spiritual relationship to plants has amplified my ability to nourish, heal and evolve as a human being. My passion is to create this experience for others; to lead them to their light and personal power through plant allies. On this path we awaken and honor the connection to self, nature and the ritual of sacred plant medicine.”

"Sound. It lives, moves and breathes in us, through us and all around us. Wherever we are, sound is emanating, vibrating and affecting us on a deep level. Sound is sacred. Sound creates. Sound can soothe. Sound unites.”

Greg Jones

"A mission of mine is to find true wealth and abundance in life, I’ve had the beautiful but rare opportunity in finding that through the wisdom of the things around me in nature. To understand that my summer's work is for the fall's harvest to help me strive through the cold winter, has not only taught me but granted me the ability to help others understand the beauty and challenges of life."

"At the heart of the Arrow Journey lies the profound truth that everything we’ve endured—every unwanted challenge, every misplaced energy—holds the seed of medicine within it. Like an arrow, we learn to transmute what no longer serves us into a tool that hits the mark of our true purpose. This is alchemy: recognizing the gifts in every struggle, pulling the medicine from it, and allowing that healing to fuel us forward.  



In stepping into your warrior, you reclaim your strength, your clarity, and your power. This journey is about rewriting the story of what has been—using the medicine of your experiences to propel you toward the life you envision. Here, transformation is tangible, potent, and real—where every arrow points to your deepest truth and your highest potential."
