CARINA

Guest Teacher Carina Iten is a Reiki Master and teacher, as well as a meditation and mindfulness guide and the founder of tendermind.ch. Her work bridges Reiki and modern energy practices in a clear, accessible, and deeply grounded way—bringing depth and presence without being abstract or removed from everyday life.

Since becoming self-employed in 2023, Carina has been guiding individuals and groups through trainings, workshops, deep-dive sessions, and individual energy work. One of her core strengths lies in translating complex energetic concepts into practices that can be truly integrated into daily life. She works intuitively while creating spaces where sustainable transformation can unfold.

Energy work has been a natural part of Carina’s life since childhood. Today, her mission is to demystify these practices and place them in a contemporary, down-to-earth context. She believes that energy work is more essential than ever in our modern lives—as a tool for self-regulation, clarity, and inner stability.

A central pillar of her work is the curation of high-quality retreats. Held in Switzerland, Mallorca, and Bali, these retreats offer an immersive deep dive into practice. Her approach is holistic, weaving together body, mind, energy, and everyday life.

Alongside her teaching and retreat work, Carina runs her own mindfulness label, TenderRitual. The label offers sustainably and fairly produced products such as natural incense, handcrafted crystal jewelry, and ceramics—ritual objects designed to bring mindfulness and presence into daily rituals.

Carina holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences and brings a strong professional background to her work. Prior to becoming self-employed, she spent over ten years in journalism, where she conceptualized, built, and launched several online magazines. This experience continues to shape her clear communication style, structured approach, and professional standards.

Carina spends several months each year living in Bali, where she finds ongoing inspiration in nature, daily rituals, and conscious living. She is otherwise based in Zurich. She teaches in German and English and is known for her ability to bridge spiritual depth with modern, real-world living—intuitive, grounded, and clear.
