Our Story
Meet Ashik & Laxmi
We are Ashik and Laxmi, partners in life and facilitators of awakening. Our work is born from our own journeys of healing, discovery and the ongoing practice of showing up for ourselves and each other with presence and honesty.
Ashik
Ashik is an international Tantra master and founder of Awakeland Portugal, a reforestation project and conscious event centre. He has been on the Meditation, Breathwork and Tantra path for the last 25 years with an innate curiosity for the essence of individuals and conscious relationships. Inspired by Osho's teachings, he integrates joy with trauma awareness and the art of intimate relating. Influenced by nature and shamanic wisdom, Ashik emphasises presence as essential, creating safe spaces to drop performance and be fully engaged in the present moment. His Sanskrit name, meaning 'Lover', reflects his dedication to awakening the divine connection within each individual.
Laxmi
A lifelong student of the sacred arts, having immersed herself in the transformative practices of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and Tantra for over 25 years.With a deep reverence for the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, she has evolved into a passionate advocate for self-discovery, sensuality, and radical self-love.Laxmi’s journey is one of profound personal awakening, and she now dedicates her life to empowering others to embrace their authentic selves, helping them unlock the divine energy within and cultivate a harmonious relationship with themselves and others. Through her wisdom and warmth, she inspires individuals to explore their inner landscapes, fostering a life of pleasure, balance and profound connection.
Together
Together, we offer a unique blend of structure and spaciousness, practice and play, depth and lightness. We believe that awakening is not a destination but a continuous return to what is real, what is alive and what is true.
