Nice to meet you.
Let’s change reality.
Julie Ann Otis is a knock-your-socks-off, blow-your-mind leadership consultant, channel, somatic therapist, and artist. As the CEO of Samana Consulting, she supports soul level growth for leaders ready to expand their companies and their consciousness.
Julie Ann Otis is a pioneer in emergent intelligence training. Blending neurobiology, business acumen, and indigenous spiritual traditions, she offers consulting and training that reconnects you with your intuitive intelligence, somatic wisdom, and spiritual guidance. Julie Ann is passionate about supporting executives and leaders in translating their desires into new, lived realities. Julie Ann has taught hundreds of leaders how to connect with their emergent intelligence - the guidance that is within you and all around you. She invites you on a journey - to transform your life, your business, your industry, and the world around you by doing LESS, not more.
Julie Ann draws on 23 years of experience in Buddhist psychology, Theravada meditation practices, neurobiology, artistic practices, East Asian healing arts, and Indigenous and First Nations’ healing traditions in Indonesia, Colombia, Costa Rica, and the United States. She has also studied with Seven Stones Leadership, the Focusing Institute, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Insight Meditation Society, Cambridge Insight Meditation Center, the Authentic Movement and Contemplative Dance Community, and Dell'Arte International.
Julie Ann is proud to be in the Disco Expert Network of the Disco Community, offering curated monthly experiences that explore the magic of being human with others interested in consciousness expansion.
Since 2012, Julie Ann has been passionate about connecting people with their expanded pathways of creating and envisioning. Julie Ann’s ecstatic spiritual awakening in 2011 and the subsequent unfolding of her life’s work have given her first-hand evidence of the guidance available from the collective consciousness and other unseen intelligences as we heal, grow, and create the world in which we want to live.
A staunch advocate for the healing power of emergent intelligence and guidance through art, Julie Ann has created interactive art installations for the Institute for Contemporary Art Boston, Boston Center for the Arts, the American Repertory Theater, the City of Boston, and Harvard University. She has also published three volumes of poetry and performed at poetry festivals in Mexico, Honduras, Peru, and the United States. She is best known for her installations American Therapy (2014) and Live Nude Girls (2021).
