About Catalyst Conscious: Movement and Mind Technologies©
Catalyst Conscious was created by Kelsey Wishik; a multimedia artist, movement practitioner, musician, guide, and instructor from the Southeastern United States.
Kelsey is a distinguished guide in the realm of self-discovery and natural connection. A yoga and movement instructor, artist, and musician, Kelsey holds ERYT 200 and RYT 500 certifications, with over 14 years of experience in yoga, 20 years in functional movement, and 20 years as a meditation practitioner. She has devoted her life to the art of embodied freedom, studying consciousness, health, and spiritual development all over the world.
Her teachings are a rich blend of yoga's philosophy and practices, somatic movement, studies in Chinese Medicine, neuroscience, pranayama, meditation, and mantra---reflecting a deep commitment to the holistic exploration of self and nature.
Kelsey’s offerings are an invitation to deeply connect with oneself through the wisdom of the natural world.
Her approach leverages her extensive background in yoga, martial arts, fitness, dance, world philosophy, meditation, intuitive expression, and self-discovery. Participants in her programs are guided on a transformative journey, designed to foster a profound understanding of self in harmony with nature.
With her global experience in facilitating workshops, trainings, events, and community circles, Kelsey offers a unique pathway for individuals seeking to explore their inner landscapes and expand their spiritual horizons.
Catalyst Conscious designs and facilitates experiences and offerings through these pillars: movement, art, yoga, music, and nature. Through developing and sharing these vehicles we can co-creatively enrich, develop, and heal ourselves and our communities.
Catalyst offers movement experiences, immersions, rewilding experiences, and education through a multi-cultural perspective blending classical yoga with contemporary, somatic, and primal movement, the Five Element Systems, principles of Taoism, shadow work integration, self-inquiry, and martial arts.
Additionally, Catalyst's mission includes building relationships, communities, and projects around its pillar focuses. Collaborations across disciplines build inclusive, creative, sustainable cultures nationally and internationally. See our Allies here.
Art--in all its forms--can bridge our many differences, speak to all languages and economic statuses. Artful and conscious projects range from Art and Empowerment Workshops, Creative cultural exchange, Residency Programs, Permaculture, bioremediation, and service work.

"Working with Kelsey was truly a magical opportunity to dive inwardly.
Her compassionate guidance allowed for a life-changing personal practice to develop. What made Catalyst so special is how it transformed my lifestyle emotionally, beyond the technique and far beyond the physical. She taught me mindful devotion."

-Annalisa Thompson
"After hearing me rave about Kelsey’s energetic, artistic approach to instruction; my husband decided to attend classes with me and he also became quickly addicted to her magnetic personality and creative instruction. Our sessions with Kelsey helped to melt away the stress we carried and would replace it with a satisfying s ense of calm that we craved. Her ability to blend challenging techniques with informative instruction and nurturing encouragement provided the perfect balance for beginners or experienced practitioners of yoga. Kelsey is truly one of a kind!
