Nathaniel Wendt

Owner, Service Worker

Nathaniel is a light-hearted and empathetic service worker whose first psychedelic ceremony with his family gave way to a profound calling to live a more purposeful life in service to his community.

His background as a Consultant and Quality Assurance Engineer helped him to become a skilled communicator and creative problem solver. His dedication to user experience and advocacy now extends to his role at Mandala where he ensures each client is heard, respected, and offered personalized care throughout their journey.

Nathaniel's commitment to fostering meaningful connections stems not just from his professional background but also from his role as a husband and father of three, where empathy, patience, and understanding are (usually) at the core of his interactions.

Through his diverse experiences as an Engineer, father, and psychedelic explorer, Nathaniel works to embody a balanced life—one that values creativity and playfulness as much as connection and personal growth.
