Rhea Crisan,

Rhea is a herbalist, naturalist, and the heart behind SeekSatori. Rooted in the forests and mountains of Romania, she has spent years studying the healing properties of plants, functional mushrooms, and the neuroscience that explains why nature works so profoundly on the human body and mind.

Our Story

Rooted in Nature,
Seeking Satori

A non-profit born from the mountains of Romania, guided by the wisdom of plants and the science of healing.

Rhea Crisan, herbalist and founder of SeekSatori

Rhea Crisan

Herbalist, Founder & Guide

Rhea grew up between the wild forests and mountain meadows of Romania, where she first learned that plants are not just food or medicine — they are teachers. Her journey into herbalism began as a personal healing path and grew into a vocation: helping others rediscover the intelligence of the natural world.

She has studied herbs, adaptogens, and functional mushrooms for years, combining this knowledge with an understanding of neuroscience to explain not just what plants do, but why they work so deeply on the human nervous system, gut, and brain.

In 2024, Rhea founded SeekSatori — a nonprofit space where healing is not a product but a practice. Through retreats in the Carpathians, hands-on workshops, and conscious seminars, she invites others to slow down, listen to the forest, and find their own moment of satori — their own flash of clarity.

"The forest is the oldest pharmacy and the wisest classroom. I'm just here to introduce you."

Our Mission

Healing Is a Return,
Not a Destination

SeekSatori exists as a non-profit because we believe that access to healing knowledge should not be gated by profit. We share what we learn freely — through retreats, workshops, mountain walks, and conscious conversation.

We are based in Romania, embedded in the Carpathian landscape, and we draw from European herbal traditions, functional medicine, and modern neuroscience to offer an experience that is grounded, rigorous, and transformative.

🌱 Rootedness

We stay connected to the land and its seasonal rhythms as our primary teacher.

🔬 Rigour

We honour both ancestral knowledge and evidence-based science — they are not opposites.

🤝 Community

Healing happens in relationship — with plants, with the earth, and with each other.

✨ Openness

Satori cannot be forced. We create conditions for insight, then step aside.

Heal With Plants & Neuroscience

📍 Mountains of Transylvania, Romania

A conscious seminar where ancient herbal traditions met cutting-edge neuroscience. We explored how plants interact with the nervous system, the gut-brain axis, and the body's stress response — with practical protocols participants could apply from day one. Held in the stunning mountain landscape of Transylvania, the setting itself became part of the medicine.

Yoga & Conscious Movement

📍 Romania

A gathering of breath, body, and presence. These yoga seminars wove together mindful movement, pranayama breathwork, and time in nature to create a full-body return to stillness. Whether seated in meditation or flowing through asanas at sunrise, participants left feeling more rooted in themselves and the earth beneath them.

Past Event · Sound Ceremony

Gong Healing Sound Bath

📍 Timișoara, Romania

An evening journey into deep rest and inner stillness, guided by the resonance of gongs and singing bowls in Timișoara. Sound baths work on the nervous system directly — slowing brainwaves, releasing tension held in the body, and opening a door to meditative depth that takes years of solo practice to reach. Participants arrived as strangers and left as a community, changed by the same vibration.

Duration 2 hours
