In 2021, Jake Housdon walked away from his executive role at a tech company to create a retreat center in the Peruvian Amazon.

After a decade in SaaS sales, he’s redesigned his life and is no longer choosing between his hustle and his health, his drive and his thrive.

His three loves in life are people, plants and creativity. He’s a devoted student of each and likes to hang out where they intersect.

If plants are on one side of a Yin Yang, and people on the other, he’s the wavy line in the middle, a bridge.

He likes to geek out on astrology, herbalism, ayurveda, alchemy, plant medicine, eastern philosophy, shamanism, flow states, creative ritual, and metaphysics.

He also spends some time advising tech startups and coaching founders.
