Who you'll meet.
Maja
Co-Founder
Maja is the reason Casa Arkaana feels the way it does. Every stone, every detail, every boundary — she's the one who makes sure the space holds you properly. Her eye catches what others miss, and her clarity keeps the container safe and intentional.
She's trained across multiple yoga traditions — Hatha, Vinyasa, Iyengar, prenatal, and trauma-informed practice. She's a permaculture designer, a moon dancer in the Mexica tradition, and a bio-decodificator. She travelled through Asia and the Americas before settling here. When Maja holds space, you feel it — not because she tells you, but because everything around you has been considered.
Asdru
Co-Founder
Asdru has been on this path since he was fourteen, when his father taught him to meditate. By twenty, he left Mexico to find his own truth — seven years in England, travelling through Europe, Southeast Asia, and India. When he came back, he reconnected with the traditions that had always called him — the Red Path, the sweat lodge, plant wisdom. That reconnection changed everything.
He went deep into permaculture, agroforestry, and natural farming in the mountains of California. He learned how to work with water, energy, and the natural forces — and how to design with the land instead of against it. That training is what shaped Casa Arkaana. After four years of hosting, hundreds of guests, and over 40 retreats, the land does most of the work. Asdru makes sure everything around it supports what you came here to do.
