Christine Penny
a SEEKER, RETREAT FACILITATOR, AND AUTHOR
Self-development is often seen as a daunting checklist or an uphill struggle. But does it have to be? Christine Penny believes the journey toward your goals can be exciting, rewarding, and even joyful. As the co-owner of the Institute for Adaptive Mastery, she champions a fresh, empowering approach to personal growth. Christine is also training to become a certified Holotropic Breathwork® facilitator through Grof Transpersonal Training, equipping her with powerful tools to help others embrace profound change.
Christine’s professional journey is as vibrant as her personal exploration. While working with MAPS Public Benefit Corporation, she planned innovative therapist training and educational events for clinical trials, partnering with esteemed institutions like Harvard University, Naropa University, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Her expertise in holistic wellness is rooted in diverse experiences, including earning her 200-hour yoga teacher certification, attending meditation retreats in India, studying astrology in Bali and Greece, and spending over a year apprenticing with a cacao shaman in Guatemala—where she even harvested cacao alongside local villagers near Lake Atitlán.
Christine’s creativity shines through in The Adventures of Ponytail series, a collection of children’s books that nurture emotional intelligence, including All Your Feelings Help You Grow and The Magical Emotion Decoder. She also authored Whispers of the Weaver, an oracle deck inspired by a shamanic breathwork journey with an ordained Celtic priestess.
Through her work, Christine inspires others to see personal growth not as a chore but as an adventure—one that engages mind, body, heart, and spirit.
