About Marius Miliunas

My path toward health and spiritual work began humbly, in my own wounds.

I entered this world on a winter morning, a fitting prelude to the cold I often felt as a child among my peers. I was timid, small, and largely unseen, though I loved climbing trees. They offered a vertical escape from the turmoil at home. More often, I hid in my room, where I learned to survive by disconnecting.

Winter turned to Spring when I left Michigan to study graphic design in Georgia, far enough from my past to imagine I could turn over a new leaf. I made friends who accepted the wounded version of me—polished by a new mask. I learned to perform by adapting.

Then came Summer. I made it to New York City and built a successful career as a web developer, earning more than I knew how to spend. On paper, everything worked. Yet an ache lingered—a quiet drought in the middle of abundance. I was spending nearly a third of my 168-hour weeks inside an office. One day I found a worn copy of Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth at a subway garage sale. Something inside began to stir.

Drawn by the promise of freedom, I left the Big Apple one autumn and used my savings to start a company. I lived abroad for the first time—first in Lithuania, the land of my ancestors, then in Sri Lanka, Berlin, and Colombia. I stepped away from 9-to-5 life, even as I worked longer hours than before. Alongside the hustle, meditation and journaling quietly deepened. Then, one spring morning, the startup collapsed, and my search for purpose truly began.

Another autumn marked a sharper turning point. On my first solo hitchhiking trip from Lithuania to Odessa, I returned to my tent to find my passport, savings, and computer stolen. Stripped back to essentials, I returned to New York and the office job. That season forced me inward and revealed a hard truth: freedom without rootedness is fragile.

Five years later, I left again—this time with more clarity. I hitchhiked through Europe and New Zealand, then returned to Lithuania to root rather than roam. I bought land, began cultivating a food forest, and completed a coaching certification. The direction became clear: I wanted to work with humans, not computers—with trauma and truth, not code. Over time, tools like NLP, hypnosis, and Family Constellations entered my life. Above all, my greatest teacher arrived in 2021: my relationship with my wife, Ieva.

Now we travel with our daughter, searching for a new home in Southern France. This chapter feels less like escape and more like cultivation. I continue my training in Family Constellations and, just as importantly, continue working on myself—committed to becoming a clearer vessel in service of others.
