Constantine Georgiou is the author of Ineffable Refuge and founder of Ineffable, where he guides individuals and teams toward unshakeable inner peace through an integration of Tibetan Buddhist practices and modern neuroscience. After a high-pressure corporate career ended in complete nervous system collapse, Constantine embarked on intensive training under pioneering teachers including Dr. Daniel P. Brown, Dustin DiPerna and Stephen Altair, receiving transmission in the Dzogchen and Mahāmudrā traditions. He uniquely combines ancient teachings on Waking up into Rigpa (awakened awareness) with cutting-edge approaches for Cleaning up, including Internal Family Systems, somatic trauma healing, EFT tapping, and heart coherence practices. As a former tech entrepreneur and startup coach who witnessed brilliant entrepreneurs crumble despite technical mastery, Constantine developed comprehensive protocols that address not just peak performance but foundational nervous system regulation and psychological integration - bridging the gap between spiritual awakening and embodied living. He believes the current socio-technological and political crisis requires inner technologies to find Ineffable Refuge because no one is coming to save us. His work offers no spiritual bypassing or quick fixes, only scientifically-grounded practices that transform profound insights into sustainable, compassionate presence in daily life.

in this conversation with Constantine, we talk about a truth most high performers avoid facing. no one is coming to save you. not a mentor, not a job, not a relationship, not a title.
Constantine opens up about the weight of self-reliance, what it takes to build an inner refuge & practice that doesn’t collapse under pressure and why chasing the life you think you should want will never feel as fulfilling as building the one that’s true for you.
if you’ve been feeling torn between who you are and who the world expects you to be, this one will hit home. enjoy 💙
