Tertius Bune, CPC, is a Kripalu faculty member as an outdoor guide & workshop presenter and has completed both level 1 & 2 of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership training. As a Certified Transformational Coach & Mindful Outdoor Guide, one of Tertius’s guiding principles is that self-awareness and mind, body, soul alignment is more readily accessible in the outdoors, and that one of the best ways to answer life's big questions is to be engaged with all our senses in nature. A lifelong outdoors enthusiast, Tertius holds certifications with the American Mountain Guides Association, American Canoe Association, National Outdoor Leadership School, and is also a Licensed New York State Guide. Sharing his core value of “connection” is the ultimate guide for Tertius, whether it be connecting deeply to a client's vulnerability as they share during a coaching session or being totally in sync with breath and body while scaling a mountain. Tertius’s workshops and offerings support us all in achieving a life that embodies and reflects our core values.

When Tertius isn’t guiding guests on the land around Kripalu, you can find him with his wife and 4-year-old boy hiking, snowboarding together in Vermont, of course foraging for mushrooms around the woods where they live in New York, and finally, cooking up something delicious in the kitchen.
