Our History

 Andras is a visionary, artist, and lifelong seeker of truth whose life began amidst the chaos of World War II. Born in Hungary, he witnessed the 1956 Hungarian Revolution at just 12 years old and became a refugee—a transformative experience that shaped his lifelong commitment to peace. His journey has spanned continents and disciplines: from vocational counseling under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1965 to advocating for racial integration as a YMCA Youth Program Director. Even then, Andras challenged the status quo, listening to voices others refused to hear and consistently standing for human dignity.

In the corporate world, Andras rose quickly as an advertising executive in New York City, managing the global launch of Pampers. However, the ethical cost of the industry prompted him to walk away and pursue his true calling: the arts. He immersed himself in New York’s vibrant theater scene as an actor, producer, and co-founder of an underground SOHO theater. This chapter launched a successful film career, including an Academy Award-nominated short film and the founding of a film school and production studio in Los Angeles. Andras’ creative works have ranged from character studies to documentaries on aging, spirituality, and the human condition.

His artistic and spiritual pursuits merged when he encountered H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and became a teacher of breathwork through the Art of Living Foundation. Andras helped bring this ancient practice to both Hungary and Hawaii, expanding its healing message worldwide. He also embarked on a decade-long journey exploring the lives of Vincent and Theo Van Gogh, performing in a one-man show that illuminated their shared message of brotherly love and artistic passion. For Andras, performance has always been a vehicle for deeper connection—with self, others, and spirit.

Today, Andras continues his work as a teacher, guide, and “Heartist in Resonance,” blending method acting, yoga, and holistic philosophy into “The Art of Being.” His goal is to teach teachers how to teach—emphasizing not just knowledge, but the process of knowing. He draws from a rich well of experiences, including training with acting legends, studying interspecies communication, participating in early consciousness research, and competing as a national-level athlete. Andras’ life is a living testament to the power of curiosity, courage, and creativity in shaping a more conscious world.

Mayana is a survivor, mystic, and guide who journeyed from the confines of fundamentalist Christianity into a deep Knowing of herself and her purpose. After experiencing childhood trauma and domestic abuse, she developed Fibromyalgia—an awakening point that led her to a path of self-healing, spiritual awakening, and multi-dimensional integration. Her personal transformation, fueled by mystical experiences and deep introspection, became the foundation for helping others move beyond belief systems into embodied wisdom and holistic wellness.

A natural leader and community builder, Mayana’s education came through hands-on service. She co-founded Literacy Outreach in Washington State, creating innovative after-school programs that dramatically improved student outcomes while empowering teachers, parents, and interns to co-create nurturing learning environments. Her work continued at the national level when she contracted with the U.S. Department of Education following the Columbine tragedy, uncovering systemic flaws in school violence reporting and advocating for reform—recommendations that, though not implemented, reflected her bold commitment to truth and justice.

Her strategic acumen led her to consult for Another Way School in Utah, where she restructured operations, guided leadership, and helped sustain the school through the pandemic with safe, outdoor learning. As a passionate advocate for immigrants, she built Cleaning Stars – WE SHINE, a thriving cleaning business that empowered Guatemalan workers and remains active decades later. In Idaho, she served with the Transportation Department’s Highway Safety Division, managing grant programs, producing an award-winning teen bike safety campaign, and pioneering a statewide safety coalition grounded in holistic, community-driven principles.

Mayana’s work is now rooted in conscious community building and spiritual evolution. In 2009, she founded the “Call Circle” gatherings—monthly councils where people came together as their highest selves to co-create new possibilities. Her Sacred Geometry Readings offered energetic direction, helping participants tune into collective movement and transformation. As co-founder of Peace Production, Mayana is dedicated to teaching how to co-create for the benefit of future generations—holding space for the awakening of humanity through intention, resonance, and right relationship with all life.
