Serhii Karpenko is the founder of Himalayan Devi Temple and creator of the Himalayan Soul Portal protocol — a reproducible deep-reset method that has produced documented results in metabolic syndrome, oncological conditions, and psychiatric diagnoses.
His path began as an entrepreneur and biohacker driven by a deep curiosity about human consciousness and the body's capacity for self-healing. This pursuit led him to the American Academy of Hypnosis, where he trained in classical hypnosis, transpersonal therapy, and hypnotherapy. Early in his practice, he began achieving outcomes that conventional medicine could not explain.
The turning point came in 2022 when his wife and mentor Olena was diagnosed with stage III sarcoma with soft tissue necrosis. When medicine offered no solution, Serhii spent eighteen months in intensive work with deep states of consciousness, applying everything he had learned — and discovering what cannot be taught. Olena recovered. After that, returning to his former life was no longer possible.
To date, Serhii has conducted over 100 sacred ceremonies and personally undergone more than 300 full death-and-return experiences. Years of practice in the Himalayas allowed him to develop a protocol that delivers measurable, lab-verified results — documented through independent testing by Labcorp and 10X Health System.
His philosophy centers on reincarnation into the same body — the idea that deep healing is not about becoming someone new, but about dying to what no longer serves you and returning fully to the life you already have.
His qualifications include hypnotherapy, transpersonal therapy, and holistic consciousness therapy. He is the author of "The Nepalese Book of the Dead" — the first practical guide to navigating the space between life and death, based on the living experience of hundreds of people.
Serhii personally leads every ceremony and accompanies participants through all stages of the process. He works with people ready for serious inner work and profound transformation.
Details of this retreat
This 11-day immersive healing retreat in the Himalayas of Nepal offers a medically monitored psilocybin protocol designed for deep physical and psychological transformation.
The Himalayan Soul Portal protocol was developed over 4 years and 100+ ceremonies. It is the only psilocybin program with outcomes independently verified by Labcorp and 10X Health System, including documented cases of insulin normalization, tumor regression, and chronic pain elimination.
The retreat includes 4 guided psilocybin ceremonies and 4 microdosing sessions, daily integration circles, medical screening before acceptance, and ongoing health monitoring throughout your stay. During each ceremony, 6 participants undergo the full psilocybin experience while the other 6 participate in a microdosing session, ensuring personalized attention and safety for everyone.
Every ceremony is led by two experienced facilitators, Olena Ruta and Serhii Karpenko, supported by a team of 4 dedicated staff members. Olena Ruta is a psychoanalyst and hypnotherapist with 28 years of clinical experience and over 5,000 clients. She serves as the lead integration facilitator, guiding participants through psychological preparation and deep integration work. Serhii Karpenko is the founder of Himalayan Devi Temple and the creator of the Himalayan Soul Portal protocol.
Unlike short weekend experiences, this 11-day format allows for gradual deepening. Each ceremony builds on the previous one, creating a cumulative healing effect that cannot be achieved in shorter programs.
After the retreat, participants receive 90 days of integration support through 4 online sessions, ensuring the transformation continues long after leaving Nepal.
The program is fully legal in Nepal and takes place at a Himalayan resort near Pokhara, surrounded by Himalayan mountain views. A hospital is located just 5-10 minutes from the retreat venue. Accommodation is in private rooms with all meals, airport transfers, and ceremony materials included.
This retreat is designed for people dealing with serious health conditions, deep psychological patterns, or those seeking a fundamental shift in how they experience life. A medical screening questionnaire is required as part of the application process. Maximum group size: 12 participants.
