  • Founder

    I'm Kene, one of the founders of Libélula. Originally from England, I had a challenging start in life and struggled with addiction for many years. It was through the transformative power of plant medicine that my life was truly turned around. Alongside meditation, yoga, and grounding practices, I began to reconnect with myself and find a new path of healing and purpose.

    The passing of my father from cancer was a profound moment that deeply shaped my journey. His loss planted the seed for what would become Libélula. My father is the reason this retreat exists today - his memory inspires me to help others find hope, healing, and transformation just as I did.

    My dream is to support others on their own journeys, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, peace, and connection. I believe in the sacred power of plant medicine and holistic practices to facilitate deep healing and growth.

    I am truly committed to creating a safe, loving space where everyone can discover their inner strength and potential.

  • Founder

    I'm Maisie, one of the founders of Libélula. Originally from England, my journey has been one of continuous learning, healing, and deep connection with myself, others, and nature. I’ve loved natural and sustainable living for as long as I can remember, and sharing that passion with others has always been a dream of mine. I’m deeply creative - whether through food, art, music, or expressing myself in ways that feel authentic and nourishing.

    My connection to nature is at the heart of everything I do. I am an avid gardener and forager, and I truly trust in the healing power of plants. Nature has been my greatest teacher and source of inspiration. I believe that authentic transformation happens when we reconnect with ourselves, with our roots, and with the earth.

    Together with my partner Kene, I dreamed of building a retreat that honors indigenous traditions and fosters genuine healing. My role involves ensuring that every aspect of Libélula reflects our core values - safety, inclusivity, and heartfelt support. I am deeply committed to guiding participants on their unique journeys and creating a space where heartfelt transformation can unfold.

    I look forward to welcoming you and sharing this beautiful journey together.
