Brothers!
We are living in powerful times. It is a time for all of us to reflect on the meaning of life and to find the fire within our hearts and nurture it. To reflect on our purpose, to find our courage and the vulnerability to heal. This is an ongoing process a journey. It can be of great benefit to be with other men in community, in practice and in ceremony. We are inspired to be in this space with you and we welcome you to join us for a nourishing and transforming week of movement (yoga, Qi gong and strength work), meditation, sacred ceremony, adventure, transformational breathwork, adventure and community.
This week will focus on supporting each of us in doing both our inner and outer work. We will have daily movement, meditation and breath work practices. Group work, circles and authentic healing ceremonies including a Sacred Temazcal fire ceremony and also an optional traditional rapé ceremony. A one day vision quest on a deserted island and time to rest in silence and contemplation. We will each be challenged this week to find inner strength, courage, softness and compassion. This is a time to be truly yourself, reconnect to the Fire in your Heart and your purpose.

Rodrigo Ballester
Rodrigo was born in Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. Of mestizo origin and coming from a Catholic family, from an early age he experienced what can be understood as mystical ecstasies or calls of the spirit. Between dreams and circumstances related to spiritual sensitivity and purity of being; rebellious, in his personal seek-and-find nature, and inclined toward the fine arts; walking as a couple and become a father.
Over time Rodrigo has been cultivating learning and instructions from various teachers, which now allow him to share with the best of him and his walk through this life, something from the world of healing in the American continent.
He currently continues to prepare himself, learning and cultivating his relationship with various medicines and techniques, but above all he continues to refine his way of walking through this existence, in the attempt to do it in peace and harmony.
