The journey does not end in the Himalayas.

It continues in the people and places you now know exist. Those people are part of our community, they are companions too. (our partners)

Matthéo Manticello

Graphic of the French flag with blue, white, and red vertical stripes on a rounded square background.
The image shows the Union Jack, the national flag of the United Kingdom, with a stylized rounded rectangular shape.

Matthéo is the founder of Les Compagnons du Vent. He designs journeys the way he imagines films, guided by emotion, contemplation of details, and the unknown. He’s been a little lost at times (and probably still is), but he’s learned that being lost can be a doorway, especially when you’re lost together.

Filmmaker. Retreat architect by accident. Monk-ish by nature.

Not sure, World.

Carlos Cervantes

The image features the flag of Portugal with a coat of arms in the center. The flag has vertical green and red sections, with the coat of arms displaying a shield with smaller shields and castles, surrounded by a yellow armillary sphere.

With great kindness, selflessness, and unconditional generosity, Carlos is someone you feel grateful to call a friend. Beyond that, he is a remarkable teacher of Transcendental Meditation, someone who brings both heart and mastery to the path, a steady light on the path for those who seek inner-peace.
