Christelle Bonneau who lives in a simple environment with her family near Foix, Tolouse, France, has facilitated groups in previous French Yatras, as well as led bhajans during the Yatra. Christelle is one of the organizers for this year's yatra. She has years of contact with the Dharma including intensive 10 day retreats and trips to India.

Chad Bennett from the USA has enjoyed solitude, especially in the outdoors, from an early age and in 2003 he formally stumbled upon the Dharma while volunteering as an English teacher in Thailand. He still considers the wilderness, in its raw changeable beauty, to be his primary teacher. An outdoor education instructor for over a decade, he co-founded "Inward Journey/Outward Bound®" in collaboration with the Shambhala Mountain Center, Colorado, USA. These programs integrated solitude and meditation with camping skills and physical movement activities including backpacking, rock climbing and canoeing. Since 2004, Chad has spent his winters in India, on pilgrimmage and practicing meditation. He has served as manager for Christopher’s annual Bodhgaya retreats since 2006.

Zohar Lavie fell in love with meditation in 2000 and has been following after her heart ever since. This journey has taken her from the meditation cushion into exploring further ways of expressing truth and love. She now spends most of her time dreaming up and facilitating retreats that offer service as a spiritual path around the world through Sanghaseva. Since 2006 she has been teaching retreats with Ajay, Jaya and Christopher.
