Meet Your Holistic Sherpa: Faisal Khattak

"A guide who knows the terrain because he has walked every mile of it."

Faisal didn’t find this path in a book; he found it through necessity. Like many who arrive at Ruhani, Faisal once lived a life defined by the "noise". The relentless pace of modern success, the high-octane pressure of the entrepreneur, and a nervous system stuck in a permanent state of survival.

His transition from the noise to the quiet of the Guanacaste jungle wasn't just a career change; it was a total realignment of his identity.

Why a "Sherpa"?

Faisal chose the title Holistic Sherpa because a Sherpa’s job isn't to climb the mountain for you, but to ensure you have the right footing, the right preparation, and the safest path to the summit.

After years of deep immersion in both the Jungle (Ayahuasca) and Desert (Wachuma) traditions, Faisal realized that the "ceremony" was only half the battle. He saw too many people leave retreats with powerful insights but no way to ground them into their daily lives.

The Vision for Ruhani

Faisal founded The Árbol Method to bridge this gap. His approach combines:

• Ancestral Wisdom: Years of apprenticeship with traditional indigenous lineages.

• Modern Psychology: A trauma-informed understanding of how the nervous system actually heals.

• Practical Mentorship: Real-world tools to help high-performers and seekers stabilize their peace long after they leave the sanctuary.

"I am not here to give you a spiritual high. I am here to help you find a resolution. To walk you through the opening and, more importantly, to guide you through the landing." — Faisal Khattak
