The Lineage Holders
Wisdom Keepers
Each practitioner carries lived experience - lineage training, personal initiation, and years of embodied practice.
Eileen
Founder | Systems Designer | Wisdom Keeper
In my twenties, I began my work in the beauty parlor corridor of a Khmer market - seated cross-legged on warm tile with a deck of tarot cards and little more than intuition. There, I learned my first lesson in power: how easily certainty seduces, and how sacred it is to help someone trust their own voice rather than replace it with yours.
What began as readings evolved into pattern recognition - witnessing how fear shapes leadership, how unprocessed pain informs decisions, and how unseen narratives quietly direct our lives. Years of apprenticeship in Cambodia and devoted mentorship refined my understanding of power as inner coherence.
Today, my work bridges ancestral wisdom and contemporary systems - designing structures that support founders, executives, and practitioners in leading with depth and flow. I build frameworks that cultivate clarity, integrity, and self-trust - in ceremony and in the structures that shape modern life.

Harley
Khmer Eisey Initiate | Founder | Soul Engineer
Some paths begin with ambition. Mine began with initiation. I trained barefoot on red Cambodian soil - repeating strikes until breath steadied and thought fell silent. Khmer martial arts was not a performance. It was an inheritance carried in tendons and bone. I learned early that power is not projection. It is alignment.
My formal initiation by my spiritual father, Kru Opagia, marked my entry into the Khmer Eisey lineage - a forest hermetic tradition predating institutional Buddhism. With initiation came responsibility: to steward teachings grounded in ethical strength, perceptual clarity, and service.
As co-founder of Somaya and collaborator in the Eisey Foundation, I design experiences that cultivate ethical power, perceptual awareness, and grounded self-trust. I engineer inner ecosystems that restore sovereignty - honoring forest wisdom while equipping individuals to move with clarity in the modern world.
“Power is alignment.”
Lok O Kong Kea
Founder of the Eisey Foundation
Kong Kea is a spiritual father and lineage holder of the Khmer Eisey tradition whose life bridges survival, devotion, and restoration. Through Somaya, he carries forward a living transmission that endured one of Cambodia’s darkest eras and continues to guide seekers today.
After leaving the police force, Kong Kea withdrew for extended periods into the jungle, dedicating himself to deep meditation and disciplined practice. In solitude, he committed to reviving a traditional Cambodian Eisey sect that had been nearly obliterated.
In collaboration with Somaya, Kong Kea is working to establish and fund the Eisey Foundation, an initiative devoted to safeguarding this ancestral lineage, supporting committed practitioners, and ensuring that authentic teacher-to-student transmission continues for future generations.

Trish
Movement | Brand Whisperer | Guide of Golden Speech
Trish is known as the brand whisperer of Somaya, shaping the relational field through clarity of language and embodied presence. Rooted in the Buddhist practice of golden speech, she understands communication as a force that can either confine or liberate. Through her voice, she awakens vision and calls others into alignment with what feels true.
At Somaya, Trish anchors the experiential layer - ensuring that care, accessibility, and authentic connection remain foundational. Her work supports participants in articulating identity with integrity, cultivating brands and lives that resonate from the inside out.
Integrating children’s yoga and elements of play into her sessions, she reintroduces joy as a pathway to healing. This reconnection with the inner child allows unresolved experiences to surface within a supportive container, restoring trust and vitality.
“Through voice, we awaken vision.”
