From Ages 3 to 93 — We Unlock the Potential in Everyone
Atomica Arts offers workshops, speaking, private coaching, and transformative programs that blend Theater, Mindfulness, Ayurveda, and Improvisation — for schools, organizations, communities, and individuals ready to grow.
At Atomica Arts our mission is simple: to close the gap between knowledge and experience. We believe that real transformation doesn’t happen when we learn something new — it happens when we live it.
How We Can Work Together
Workshops
Immersive, participatory experiences using Theater, Improvisation, Mindfulness, and Arts Integration — customized for schools, nonprofits, corporate teams, and communities of all ages.
Speaking
Keynotes and presentations that don’t just inform — they transform. Maria brings warmth, depth, and the unexpected power of the arts to stages of every size, in person or virtually.
Private Coaching
Personalized coaching packages for individuals and leaders — combining Embodied Leadership Presence, Ayurvedic wisdom, and Mindfulness & Meditation into a path that is entirely your own.
Two Decades of Transforming Lives Through the Arts
Founded by Maria Schaedler-Luera and Will Luera, Atomica Arts has spent over two decades helping people of all ages and backgrounds discover creativity, resilience, and connection. We work with educators, nonprofit teams, corporate leaders, trauma survivors, young children, and aging adults — because transformation belongs to everyone.
Maria is a Brazilian-born certified meditation teacher, intercultural relations specialist, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, Theater of the Oppressed practitioner, international keynote speaker, and published author whose work bridges mindfulness, embodiment, creativity, and human connection. Will is an internationally touring actor, writer, director, and improvisational comedian who has performed, taught, and facilitated creative experiences across four continents.
Integrated Approach
We don’t draw from one tradition — we weave together Theater, Mindfulness, Ayurveda, and the Arts into something uniquely powerful and deeply human.
For Everyone
We serve ages 3 to 93 — schools, nonprofits, corporations, communities, and individuals — in English, Spanish, and Portuguese
Real Experience
Over two decades of workshops, speaking, coaching, and consulting with some of the most respected organizations in the region and beyond.

What People Are Saying
“Working with Maria was unlike any business coaching I’ve ever experienced. I expected strategy, structure, and accountability, which I received — but I also experienced something far deeper and more transformational. Maria’s Embodied Leadership Presence Coaching helped me reconnect with myself in a way that unexpectedly changed how I lead, communicate, and show up in both business and life. Her approach is deeply intuitive, passionate, and personal. She creates a space that challenges you to move beyond surface-level goals and into authentic alignment with who you truly are. I’m incredibly grateful for the insight, clarity, and confidence I gained through working with her.”
Alison, Nonprofit Leader
“I first met Maria at a conference where she delivered a keynote on becoming the ‘Resilient Protagonist’ of your own life. When she visited my Applied Improvisation class at Indiana University, she brought that same clarity, passion, and generosity — and left my students truly transformed.”
Dawn Wisher, M.A. Distinguished Teaching Professor, Kelley School of Business Indiana University Bloomington
“Maria—you are an exceptional facilitator! I have been a therapist and facilitator for years, and I have never felt safer than when you are the one guiding these workshops. Please continue to celebrate, affirm, and share your gifts. The world is filled with Light because of you. Your humility and warmth shine through.”
