Daemond Mano

YogaMcc owner and integrationist since January 2019. Daemond grew up in Calgary, but he is a traveler by trade, having visited over 30 countries in his life. One of his favorite things to do is understand how other people live on this earth. Like most of us, he has often wondered why we are here. Daemond has sat with Monks in the Temples of South East Asia and has spent time with Aboriginals in Australia learning about Dreamtime. He has journeyed with Shamans in Central America and created concoctions with witch doctors in Africa. He has read and researched much in the vein of spirituality and science and connections between the two, a field called Epigenetics.

Daemond is also very passionate about building community and safe containers for seekers to grow into their highest vision of themselves. For him this all starts with a foundation of friendship. Daemond’s primary practices are Meditation and Breathwork. He is certified to teach Clarity Breathwork, Numa Breathwork, and has studied breathwork at the Omega Institute in New York. He is also certified to teach Active Meditations from Osho Humaniversity in Holland, Systemic & Family Constellations, and was given permission to teach the life’s work of Zen Master Nissim Amon, a modality called Trilotherapy, which includes Zen Buddhist meditation. He also enjoys integrating sound into his offerings and is certified by Jonathan Goldman in sound healing. He’s very passionate about sharing all these tools with the humans around him that feel called to explore the depths of who we are.

“My time at Villa Sumaya retreat has been truly remarkable, leaving an indelible mark on me. Throughout the retreat, I have undergone a profound journey of self-discovery, peeling away layers to uncover my authentic self. With each session, I gained deeper insights into my emotions, unearthed and healed past traumas, and ultimately connected with my true essence. The unwavering love and support from Dae, Jeri, and the entire group were essential in my transformative journey. Their genuine care and encouragement guided me every step of the way. I’ll forever cherish the love-filled atmosphere and the profound experiences I encountered at this extraordinary retreat, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Atitlán, which truly stands as one of the world’s most enchanting destinations.” – K, Guatemala Retreat Participant

 

When I first heard about the retreat I was curious about attending but also apprehensive. Jeri and Daemond were encouraging and really made enormous efforts to answer all my questions and guide my thinking and confidence to attend. Villa Sumaya was a beautiful location in every way. The location was serene and peaceful, the food was deliciously prepared, all the spaces in the centre held a special ambiance that was calming and peaceful. As a result of this beautiful facility the entire group was immediately relaxed and immersed in the sessions so thoughtfully facilitated by Jeri and Daemond throughout the entire week. Each session brought a different perspective on self-discovery and exploration into living a more loving and meaningful life. Everyone in the group developed close, respectful and loving relationships with one another. The fire, sweat lodge and cacao ceremonies brought a sacred connection to the culture of Guatemala. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone that is looking to put a pause in their life and find a new pathway to living a more balanced and connected life with themselves and those they love and cherish. – Evonne Black
