Kannon Yin Suedawa

Dominican-born yogi and shaman, rooted in spiritual and mystical traditions since childhood. His path has moved through yoga, esoteric and hermetic studies, and a deep immersion in the Sufi tradition including the whirling dervish practice. His understanding of life and death has been shaped by his own near-death experiences — a passage that returned him to the body not as a project to perfect, but as the ground of the sacred. Kannon brings an embodied, devotional presence to ceremonial space: steady, attentive, and unhurried. He co-holds this retreat as the work of returning — together — to the one heart beneath all forms.
