The Conscious Earth Institute was created to support global wellbeing through individual transformation.
We are driven by the conviction that personal and planetary wellbeing are not separate. They are one. The mass conflict, division, and disconnection we see in the world around us is rooted in a deeper crisis of consciousness within each of us. When we are driven by fear, unresolved inner wounds, and patterns we have never examined, we create that same discord in our relationships, our communities, and the world around us.
We therefore work with individuals through one-on-one coaching, helping us understand our inner world, heal what is holding us back, and return to the wholeness that is our true nature. We also train therapists, coaches, and spiritual practitioners, equipping them with the skills to elevate their client work through embodied spiritual presence and become empowered healing agents in a world that needs it.
Our approach integrates Internal Family Systems with somatic work and universal spiritual principles. We do not view people as broken or deficient. Knowing that each person is inherently whole, wise, and loving, our work is to help you access and reconnect with the wholeness and wisdom that already exists within you.
As each person heals and reconnects with their own nature, they contribute to something larger: a restoration of balance and harmony in the world around them.
We would be honored to walk this path with you.
With well wishes, Dayal & Rasika
Meet The Founders
Hi, I’m Dayal
I'm an IFS Practitioner, teacher, and Co-Founder of the Conscious Earth Institute. I have over 10 years of client work, supporting individuals in moving beyond shame, fear, and limiting beliefs and helping them live from a place of inner wisdom, clarity, and deep connection.
My expertise and training comes from IFS Level 1 training with the IFS Institute, and IFS Level 1 training with the Institute for Healing and Awakening, alongside a degree in Clinical Psychology from Hunter College, Upbuild Coaching Certification, and Somatic Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training. I also served as the former Director of the Bhakti Center, a spiritual community center in New York City.
My most important training, however, has come from my personal lived experiences, as I've been on a spiritual journey my entire life, seeking truth from as early as I can remember. At 18, I became a monk and dedicated myself to a life of spiritual study, reflection, and service, traveling to India and communities around the world to learn, discover, and share. After 10 years of monastic life, I transitioned out of the monastery. My passion for this work stems from my own years of deep personal practice, which continues to this day. I aim to teach, inspire, and work with those who are eager to dive deep into themselves, take responsibility for their own growth, let go of old patterns that no longer serve them, and embrace a life filled with greater potential, purpose, and the freedom of living from Self.
Hi, I’m Rasika
I'm a Somatic IFS Practitioner, teacher, and Co-Founder of the Conscious Earth Institute. With over 5 years of client work, I support individuals and groups in accessing their true nature, exploring their inner world, and healing unconscious wounds through deep, embodied healing and spiritual presence. I also train coaches, therapists, and healing professionals to become Self-led guides who can support others in the same transformation.
My expertise draws from IFS Level 1 and Level 2 training with the Institute for Healing and Awakening, as well as a Somatic Parts Work Certificate Training with Fran Booth, Ayurvedic Health Counselor Certification from The Kerala Ayurveda Academy, and Somatic Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training from the Bhakti Center.
Beyond my professional work, I'm just like you: a spiritual being within a human body-mind system who has done my own deep work healing childhood and early adult wounds. That journey taught me that healing is possible, that you are inherently capable and fully resourced to heal your inner system, and that the real magic lies in cultivating a compassionate relationship with all the parts of yourself. I bring curiosity, warmth, and genuine care to those feeling stuck, in pain, or caught in a cycle that seems impossible to escape, empowering you with the strong sense of Self that is your own innate healing presence.
What is Internal Family Systems?
Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based transformative therapeutic and personal development model. IFS offers an unique approach to chronic stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and overall unhappiness and stuckness in life by relating to the different aspects of our psyche rather than just cognitive understanding and pathologizing. It views the mind as naturally multiple, composed of a system of protective and wounded inner parts (i.e. aspects of the mind, ego states, subpersonalities). These parts can become extreme in their emotions, beliefs and behaviors due to unprocessed wounds of the past leading to inner conflict and dysfunction that spills out into our external life.
At the core of IFS is the belief that our true Self—the wise, loving, and whole spiritual essence of who we are—is both distinct from these parts and the natural leader of our internal system. Known by many spiritual traditions as the soul, atma, buddha nature, highest self, inner light, etc, this true Self holds the innate wisdom, qualities and capacity to heal and harmonize the system. By accessing our true Self and compassionately relating to our parts, we can begin to understand and attune to our parts' needs, desires, and concerns, providing them the love, safety and belonging they so desperately need. This naturally leads to deep healing that integrates and frees up energy in our system, restoring its balanced state and allowing us to experience an authentic, aligned, and meaningful life lived from a place of Self.
