Breathwork and meditation experiences designed for diplomats, international leaders, and changemakers — cultivating presence, clarity, and compassion in global decision-making. 

True diplomacy begins within.

When we learn to breathe through difference, listen without reacting, and act from grounded awareness, we embody peace — not just negotiate it.

The practice is simple, yet transformative:

Jana Urh Lesjak is a Slovenian diplomat, political anthropologist, and certified breathwork facilitator.

Having spent years representing her country in multilateral settings, she discovered that the qualities needed for true diplomacy — empathy, listening, balance — arise from inner presence.

Her work bridges these worlds: 

bringing the art of conscious awareness into the halls of international dialogue, leadership spaces, and personal transformation.

She believes that when leaders breathe with awareness, the world breathes easier too.
