Hi, my name is Jose.

Some years back, right after high-school, I boarded a flight to India in search of answers. 

Like most of my friends at that time, I didn’t know what to do. No matter in which direction I looked into, the path in front of me seemed a bit blurry.

I was struggling, and just like every other family that truly cares for you would, they made sure that everyone knew about it.

Because of that, an acquaintance came to me one day and told me that I should go to India, that a faraway land was exactly what I needed.  You know, India is known as the land of seekers.  The place that has functioned as the dwelling of innumerable masters, seers and sages for thousands and thousands of years.

So, I booked my flight.  As I mentioned before, I needed answers.  What I didn’t know is that I was heading straight into the land of questions, the land that is not afraid to see and recognize that there is a lot that we do not know about this existence.  That the only way to become a true seeker is to accept your own ignorance and ask accordingly.

What started as a two-month retreat twelve years ago, quickly turned into the most fulfilling adventure that I can think of.  An adventure that has taken me to places and situations that I never considered possible.  From attending various deepening programs abroad, to having the opportunity to offer retreats in Merida and other states in Mexico, this adventure has become a collection of stories that I, for sure, could not foresee from my noisy bench back at school.

From that first trip I came back with more questions than answers, I won’t lie, but something got ignited.  What I don’t know remains infinite, but one thing that I’m certain of is that this inner adventure can begin at any given moment, at any given time and it has no age limits, everyone is welcomed to join.  All that is needed is willingness. 

During a ninety-minute session, we’ll go through a meditative and contemplative process together.  We will use a few simple tools that are rooted in the yogic system.  Tools that can help us move to a state of calmness and balance within, a state of more clarity from which we can function better and more efficiently.

 

Advance reservations are required.
