    Farnaz N. Reneker

    Co-Founder // Director

    Farnaz is a Co-Founder of Wellspring & Founder of The Temple Architect. She is a healing practitioner and intuitive channel: a keeper of the unseen, a calibrator of coherence, and a designer of harmonic spaces for soul remembrance.

    After an accomplished career as a physical architect, she now architects sacred energetic temples where the body can reorganize, the breath can return to rhythm, and the nervous system can remember how to rest. Her work translates subtle, encoded information from the field into embodied insight, helping people restore alignment with their original design.

    Through sound, breath, and the unified energy field, Farnaz creates precise conditions for realignment, listening beneath the surface of the body and field to restore harmony. In private sessions and group sound journeys, she constructs living temples of safety, resonance, and coherence, inviting a return to wholeness.

    Vice President, Board of Directors

    With over two decades of leadership and expertise in the video game industry, Andereea faced the challenge of leaning into her masculine energy, until attending the Burning Man event for the first time in 2018 – an experience that opened her eyes to other aspects of her core and the collective of humanity.

    Since her spiritual awakening, Andreea has been committed to living a more conscious, authentic, and intentional life with an open heart. She strives to embody the principles of radical inclusion, radical self-reliance, communal ffort, civic responsibility, and immediacy – with a sprinkle of vulnerability.

    In restoring balance, Brooke taps into the wisdom of her Hawaiian roots and believes that we possess the power within to realign to our inner harmony. She is passionate about creating a community to help others tap into their innate power, find flow, and spread Aloha.
