About Holistic Life Paths

Welcome to Holistic Life Paths (HLP), a platform for healing, transformation, and connection. Founder Zachary Alden, created this platform after seeking wellness following his service in the U.S. Marine Corps 

In the years following service, Zac needed something tangible, challenging, yet full of meaning and purpose. It took 5 years of learning yoga, mudras, the ways of plant medicine, and working at different Ayahuasca centers to cultivate a path forward. 

During the summer of 2024, Zachary was initiated into the Shipibo lineage, returning annually to the Amazon Jungle to continue his studies. Later, in that same year of 2024, Zachary became an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church to better address the modern issues with a blended approach of ancient and modern traditions. 

Graduating in 2026 with a BA in Psychology with a concentration on health and healing and a double minor in yoga studies and psychedelics, Zac seeks to blend his higher education with contemplative experiences  to create in-depth courses for online contemplative learners. 

Through the academy, services, and supporting materials HLP empowers you to commit to your own wellness and healing. Backed by historical and scientific evidence, the offered services and products hold a holistic approach at the center of it all.
