This campaign and reach out for support is one step of many I feel coming ahead during 2022, deepening in learning from these ways and building bridges between ancient and modern healing modalities, translating and pouring all that into what I do and support birthing new ways of being within ourselves, one another and our environment, walk life in beauty, gratitude, joy, celebration and in right relation with all for us and those yet to come.

I’m excited about getting this rolling, grateful to have the courage to lean in and ask for help and I’m looking forward to taking part in this special program as an epic way to start 2022 and deepening into this path that for so long has been knocking on my door and now it’s time to step into it full on.

I’m planting the prayers for all to align and knowing that the benefits from this will be shared and enjoyed by many!

Thank you so much for being part of manifesting this!

With Love and Gratitude,

Juan

Why I want to do this training?

It feels the natural next step for me in this present moment as this path unfolds.

I feel this program plays a key role in bridging gap between the ancient wisdom surrounding plant medicine and the modern approaches to therapy and healing modalities, setting the foundations for finding the integration point to ensure these wise and powerful plant teachers are used in respectful ways, safe spaces, and held in integrity and alignment.

As a practitioner and human being, I’m also deeply committed to my own healing, and I know this program will be supportive for shining more light into my own personal journey of healing, growth and development, allowing more parts of myself to fully land, that in time will become part of my practice and everything I do, providing deeper understanding and embodiment of the very same things that I’m called to support people with.

By experience I know that we can only meet someone to the depths we have met ourselves, we can support someone navigate and journey through something only if we have gone there ourselves. And in this field of trauma healing and plant medicine work, this is a foundational piece for holding space for profound healing and transformation in a down to earth way.

How will I apply what I learn on this training?

My intention is to bring this wisdom into my practice and the spaces I hold both 1:1 and for groups, online and in person.

In this time of transition and redefinition of my work, I’ve been working on a couple of programs aimed to support people navigate transformational experiences and gather the gifts they have, integrate and translate them into their lives. They're informed and inspired by my direct experience on overcoming stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and several life initiations and awakenings during my life's journey, 

They’re aimed to support people traversing difficult times in life that can potentially be traumatizing due to the intense nature of those moments and experiences, and the other one is aimed for the integration of plant medicine journeys and other transformational experiences like intensive trainings and retreats in different fields around self-development. I feel this training will improve my capacity to support in this way and enrich these offerings even more. 

In overcoming addiction, depression, borderline personality disorder, clearing imprints from traumatic childhood and adult life experiences, stress, anxiety, burnout and cruising through many awakenings and life initiations over the course of my life that touched and shook the core of my being; Nature, plant medicine and the wisdom of many ancient traditions have notoriously made a difference that helped me to move through many of those instances, being allies and guiding lights along the journey.

They helped me remember who I am (and continuously do so), what I’m here for, and have the courage to do the changes necessary to have a better quality of life.

The amount of healing I experienced when turning into a life more in tune with the element’s natural cycles, plants medicines is beyond measure.

This last couple of years for me have been a trauma healing journey, learning more about trauma, the way it impacts in our life, how to break through the imprints left by it and how to re-attune my nervous system and realizing how much this kind of education is important and essential as we walk into the future.

During this time plant medicines have helped me to meet different parts of myself and bring them back home, softening and revealing those parts that needed to be held and heard in order to be healed and integrated.

Plant medicines and the wisdom in them and from the traditions that work with them have been amazing allies helping me in ways beyond what I can even put into words in the process of integrating, befriending, clearing, seeing, holding, loving, forgiving, embracing, transcending and integrating aspects of myself and my life along the ride and help me achieve a better quality of life like nothing else has done.

I’m very grateful to be in this point of life where I feel ready to pour all that wisdom attained from my +15 years journey of healing and growth to help others to find a similar place of profound self-love, radical acceptance, authentic connection, compassion, ease, spaciousness, clarity, strength, and gratitude for life that I know it’s available for us all.

The importance of developing a trauma informed culture

The more trauma-informed we become as a collective the better we can approach new ways of being with ourselves, one another and our surroundings.

The healing we do now it’s not only of ourselves, but especially for those yet to come and Mother Earth.

Trauma informed modalities and practices allow different parts of us to be heard, seen and held, in order to be healed, and when that happens in our internal reality, our external reality is positively impacted and the world starts to change.

In going through my own trauma healing process, I realized how little we know (if anything!) about how the nervous system operates and how trauma can be so deeply rooted, especially in subtle ways, negatively impacting our work, relationships & health, as the protective and coping mechanisms and strategies we develop as a result from traumatic experiences (both "big T" and "small T" ones) limit our capacity to experience life to the fullest.

I believe that having a deeper and solid understanding of how trauma operates and moves within our systems is essential as facilitators, space holders, educators & healers of any kind, as it is also very important for all individuals.
