The Enfold Team
Steve Rio & Austin Austin
The Founders & Facilitators of Enfold
Enfold was co-founded by Steve and Austin, a husband and wife team that have been on The Path for decades. We’ve worked with various plant and animal medicines since the mid 90s and combined that work with deep spiritual enquiry, IFS and trauma-informed somatic therapy, meditation, and inner exploration.
Our orientation to this work is rooted in Buddhist philosophy, a strong meditation practice, and the belief that everyone has the potential for healing and awakening if they commit themselves to The Path.
We’re in our mid-40s, and have raised a daughter (she’s in her mid-20s now) and have a number of spiritual children (of all ages) that we support and care for. We are grounded, considered, and live the life we promote.
Arthur Lee
Guest & Community Experience Facilitator
With a background in social work, end-of-life care, Buddhist study & meditation, and psychedelic education & harm reduction, Arthur is our Guest & Community Experience Facilitator. In this role, Arthur supports guests along every step of their journey, from first contact, intake, preparation, on-site experience, and integration, while also contributing creative content and hosting our ‘Still In It’ podcast.
“The opportunity to join Enfold feels like the culmination of all the work and experiences I’ve had to date. It’s one I’m treating with deep appreciation, gratitude, and excitement for the chance to support others in a meaningful way, in service to nurturing greater love, transformation, and harmony in the world. I hope to offer our guests a caring, grounded, and lighthearted presence that allows them to feel completely safe and supported.”
Where you can find me when I’m not working:
“I start nearly every day by sitting in meditation before heading to one of my favourite coffee shops to read for an hour— usually a book related to the Dharma, Buddhism, or something non-fiction. I also love to write creative non-fiction and poetry. Most of the time otherwise, you can find me outside. Biking, trail running, exploring, or on an off-leash walk with my Golden Retriever, Willow, probably while singing a tune!”
Scott Barker
Partner + Managing Director
Scott has walked dual paths for a long time. On one side, a successful entrepreneur and investor and on the other a deeply spiritual, inquisitive soul. Scott climbed to the very top of his profession only to find it more hollow and unfulfilling than expected. Many of our guests experience a similar arc which allows him to relate deeply with them. He has been in and around the Enfold ecosystem since the early days and helps to oversee all business functions.
After walking away from his old life, Scott sold all of his belongings & went on a journey around the world spending time trekking in nature in Nepal, sitting in silence in ashrams in India, meditating in monasteries in Sri Lanka, learning in community in Indonesia and deepening his spiritual practice.
Enfold gave me my life back, now I’m here to serve and repay that gift to others.
