Neelam Taylor

Intuitive Spiritual Mentor

Breathwork & Kundalini Facilitator.

Holistic Psychotherapist

Neelam Taylor is a devoted guide for soul healing and transformation. With over 27 years of experience in the healing arts, she is an International Breathwork Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, Holistic Psychotherapist, Energy Medicine Woman, and Mentor. She is the founder of Awakening Breathwork Academy, where she trains internationally certified trauma-informed Breathwork Facilitators, weaving ancient wisdom with embodied somatic therapies. 

Her passion lies in guiding others through deep spiritual awakening and the healing of generational and collective trauma. Her own healing began through overcoming domestic violence in early childhood, and this path of pain to purpose became the foundation for her life’s work.

In 2023, Neelam answered a powerful calling to sit with the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca. Traveling solo, she began her initiation in the jungle of Mexico, where she experienced her first profound encounters with the spirit of the vine. This journey then led her to Peru, where she continued her path of remembrance, sitting in sacred ceremonies in the mystical Sacred Valley and deep in the heart of the Amazon jungle with authentic Shipibo maestros and their communities.

Over six months, she surrendered to the teachings of the plants and walked the path of deep inner revelation. It was in the jungle that Grandmother Ayahuasca gave her a vision, to guide others into this work through safe, authentic, and integrative experiences. She saw clearly that many seekers were entering this realm without the protection or guidance needed to truly receive the healing. Experiencing first hand some of the difficulties western travellers can face navigating the traditional tribes of South America. From this vision, Vine of the Soul was born.

This retreat is not simply a ceremony, it is a sacred initiation. Rooted in trauma-informed preparation and holistic integration, Vine of the Soul blends plant medicine with Breathwork and Holistic Psychotherapy, creating a container for deep and lasting transformation.

Neelam now walks beside those called to the medicine, holding a grounded, heart-led path into the unknown. With fierce integrity and spiritual devotion, she bridges the worlds, offering a safe passage into the jungle and a return home to the soul.

Benjamin Johnston

Shaman

Shaman Benjamin Johnston’s journey with plant medicine began with a profound awakening that led him from a challenging upbringing in the UK to the heart of the Amazon. After years of searching for strength through bodybuilding, addictions and external validation, his path took a transformative turn in 2017 when he answered the call of Ayahuasca. Through deep personal healing, Benjamin shed layers of conditioning, past traumas, and physical toxicity, emerging with a profound connection to the medicine.

For over seven years, Benjamin has dedicated his life to studying and working with master plant teachers, immersing himself in the traditions of an esteemed healer family in the Amazon. Honoring the lineage and wisdom that has guided him, he now serves as a bridge between the medicine and those seeking healing.

His presence ensures a safe and grounded environment, supporting deep inner work with humility, strength, and wisdom. With firsthand experience in transformation, he understands the courage it takes to surrender and is committed to assisting others in finding their own path to healing.
