Co-Founders
Momo and Mara geek out on healing and self discovery. They met serendipitously during the pandemic, working with Calliope's sister company Hummingbirds Global. Momo lives in Tokyo, and Mara in Northern California. Though there's physical distance, the two had the same desire to gather others who believe that introspective journeying and embodiment practices are a powerful catalyst for social change. By practicing and learning together, we have the opportunity to make a profound impact in the world. Calliope is a community for dreamers. Come dream with us!
