This passion took me also to be initiated into Yoga (and meditation) when I was 16 years-old. This practice, though with ups and downs, has been my anchor and direction all these years. And a deep love for Nature mysteriously brought me back to my roots, to study with indigenous communities and elders in Colombia, and to listen to my Mother and Father again, remembering thus, that I too am Native. I must say that this recognition and this profound unfolding in my life so far has also been possible thanks to the Awakened Life Project and the Men's Collective. Since 2016 my involvement has constantly pushed me to the edge and to die over and over again, helping me to realise that Love and Freedom are not pretty motivational ideas, but my True Nature.
I am now a custodian of a mountain right next to my home city, Manizales, Colombia, and Kumanday Territory, where we keep alive a sacred fire of awakening and transformation through Integral Yoga & Living, which also includes permaculture. We share our lifestyle and findings as an experiential invitation to discover who we are in essence, in the Origin, as Nature, and to serve a life of awakening, healing, and co-existence on this Earth here and now and for the following generations. We devote our life to awaken and embody our ancestral memory of Love, Freedom and Truth at all moments and through all relationships, and to remember how to live sustainably and in harmony with Life.
It is from this experience and my deep heart's longing that I am making myself available to you in any support I can, whether virtually or physically and in Spanish or English.
