We are a collective of healers & facilitators with the purpose to bring alignment, peace and universal love to all beings.


The Academy for the Soul is a sacred space, a temple-inspired school devoted to inner awakening and embodied wisdom.

Our roots were planted in 2019 by Jun Jared, emerging from his deep personal and spiritual evolution. Initiated and continuously refined through his dedicated practice and study of yoga, the academy evolved organically over time and found its current shape through seven years of devotion to breathwork study, yoga practice, meditation, ecstatic dance facilitation, and spiritual exploration.

Today, we are a collective of sacred space-holders and facilitators who have been trained by Jun Jared. Our team currently hosts Ecstatic Angel Dance gatherings and Sacred Breathwork sessions in Bali, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

Our Team of Angels

Founding Heart, Trainer & Lead-Facilitator

Jun Jared

I’m Jun, the founding heart of the Academy for the Soul. I was born and raised in Switzerland. Over the past decade, I have lived in Indonesia, evolving from my previous life and career as a designer into a teacher of yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dance, and spirituality.

My passion comes alive when I am by the ocean, surfing glassy waves alongside sea turtles and colorful fish, or when I chant sacred songs in the early morning hours, cultivating gratitude and love for God/Source. My heart’s wish is to anchor unconditional joy and love on this Earth, so that we can enter an era free of judgement, fear and ignorance.

Lead-Facilitator & Trainer (USA)

Ashtar Anandi

I am a teacher of Kundalini Yoga, various meditation techniques, and co-creator of Sacred Breathwork & Angel Dance, devoted to the path of self-realization and the embodiment of peace. Now living in Hawaii and shaped by years of travel and deep inner work, my journey has been one of remembering, returning again and again to what is true beneath the noise.

I also guide others in regulating their inner world with sacred enthogens, reconnecting to their authentic self, and living in alignment with their soul. My approach is both grounded and deeply intuitive, rooted in lived experience, devotion, and the understanding that true transformation happens through consistent, embodied practice.

I am passionate about music and mantra, creating safe and sacred spaces for others to open, express, and come home to themselves. My heart’s wish is simple: that you remember how to return to peace within, and live from that place of truth, presence, and love.

Soul of Events & Lead-Facilitator (Germany)

Susi Knupfer

I’m Susi, a Kundalini Activation Process Level 2 Facilitator and space holder for deep inner transformation. I am based in Germany, where I guide people through KAP, Sacred Breathwork, and emotional integration work.

Since childhood, I have always seen the potential in people, beyond who they think they are. To witness their unfolding, to walk beside them as they grow, is not just my work… it is my deepest purpose. I create spaces filled with love. Safe, open, and alive, for both adults and children to reconnect with themselves.

My path is devotion to life itself. I love to travel, to discover myself in new places, to listen to the whisper of the ocean, to feel the sun on my skin and the earth beneath my bare feet. I love being a mother. I love to move, to dance, to express, and to fully embody my true nature.

My heart’s vision is simple yet vast: that every human remembers their light, experiences the highest form of love, and steps into a freedom that allows them to be everything they came here to be.

Lead-Facilitator (Australia)

Sofia Carestia

I am Sofia, born and raised in Argentina, and for the past decade I have been living in Australia.

A deep personal breakthrough led me into profound healing through spiritual practice. This awakening aligned my path toward a more meaningful purpose, devoting myself to service, to the divine, and to supporting others in their own transformation, bringing heaven to earth.

I facilitate Breathwork, Angel Dance, Kundalini & Yin Yoga and Bodywork.

I move through life with a smile, embodying a grounded sense of presence and love. I am a creative at heart, I love dancing, singing, and bringing colour to life. My heart’s wish is to ignite the remembrance of who we truly are, so we stop seeking peace outside of ourselves and come home within.

Heart of Festival & Event Management

Johanna Kremer

My journey has been shaped by a deep curiosity for personal growth and creating a life that feels true.

With a professional background in event management and many years of working independently, I bring structure, organisation, and a strong sense for people into everything I do. I have been living in Bali for over 9 years, raising two children and building a life that balances movement and stillness, structure and flow.

My path has taken different forms, always guided by the intention to live with freedom, authenticity, and connection. Today, I integrate my experience in business with my passion for well-being and conscious growth. I believe that real transformation begins when we come back to ourselves.

Heart of Logistics & Facilitator (Spain)

Domin Martinez Galvez

I was born in Spain and, over the years, my life has become a journey through different countries, cultures, and paths of inner growth.

After more than a decade working in international sales, I chose to leave the corporate world and follow a life more rooted in presence, meaning, and inner alignment. My path has included Christian theology, Buddhist practice, meditation retreats, yoga teacher training, and spiritual exploration across Asia and Europe.

Something not everyone would guess about me is that I also come from a very structured, rational, business background. So I naturally love building bridges between the spiritual and the practical.

I’m passionate about meaningful travel, honest self-inquiry, yoga, music, and creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves. My heart’s wish is that we remember how much more unites us than separates us, and learn to live more truth, compassion, and presence. Let's bring the sacred fully into everyday life!
