On July 17–19, Embria Village hosted the first Biohacker’s Mastermind, “Turning Wellness Into Business” - an international retreat bringing together 17 wellness professionals and entrepreneurs from Finland, Estonia, Serbia, France, and the US for three days focused on business development, knowledge sharing and recovery by Lake Saimaa.

Designed for professionals building or planning to build an international business in the fast-growing wellness industry, the mastermind focused on turning wellness expertise into scalable business concepts. 

Participants worked on positioning, product development, target audiences, explored how content, events, communities and AI can support business growth, and exchanged ideas and opportunities for collaboration. 

The program was facilitated by Teemu Arina, author, speaker, biohacker and serial entrepreneur, and Leigh Ewin, breathwork instructor, wellness coach and facilitator, bringing together complementary perspectives on wellness entrepreneurship and international growth.

Business sparring was balanced with the setting and experiences that make Embria Village special: the surrounding forests and Lake Saimaa, sauna and smoke sauna, swimming, breathwork, shared dinners and plenty of time for informal conversations. This combination of focused work, recovery and genuine human connection created a natural environment for new ideas and partnerships to emerge.

We’re excited to see Embria Village becoming a destination for the international wellness community - a place where experts and entrepreneurs can meet, exchange knowledge, recharge and turn ambitious ideas into new projects and businesses.
