About this Retreat
Guillermo’s journey of transformation took him from a 15-year career as an automotive engineer in Germany to living in the Costa Rican jungle, pursuing his true passions.
Born and raised in Costa Rica, he fulfilled his dream of studying in the U.S. and Europe and building a corporate career. However, after over 20 years of meditation and a spiritual awakening in 2009, his path shifted, leading him to seek a more spiritually aligned way of life.
A talented musician, Guillermo has recorded multiple albums and loves sharing medicine songs around the bonfire with guests. He also hosts a podcast where he shares his personal journey and explores spiritual topics. Drawing from decades of experience, Guillermo guides mindfulness meditations at the retreats with a unique approach that integrates his spiritual awakening and deep connection to nature. After completing his Permaculture Design Course in Costa Rica, he began searching for land to create a project where he could live in harmony with nature, grow his own food, and fully embrace his vision of a sustainable, conscious lifestyle.
Alicia studied psychology in Spain, and after a career in marketing and real estate investments, she had the blessing of meeting her Master, Ma Shivā Maji, learning the deepest teachings of Spiritual Yoga.
These teachings, combined with several months in the last years living in Ashrams in different countries, have provided her with the tools and techniques to transform her consciousness and share them with the world.
Alicia is the personification of nourishing Love. She gives her whole self with sympathy and compassion to every task, small or large and to every person and animal alike.
She can be candidly honest, which serves everybody well, and has a special gift to understanding and expecting common sense at all times and in every situation.
Both Javier and Alicia have a profound knowledge of Hindu philosophy and also the needed intuition to practice and teach it.
After 15 years of a professional career working in real estate investments in Spain, Javier discovered that despite having everything in the material world, he was not truly happy.
Life had prepared him for the blessing of meeting and studying with Master Ma Shivā Maji, learning the deepest teachings of Spiritual Yoga. This path, primarily composed of Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Dyana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga, has provided him with the tools and techniques to revolutionize his consciousness, enabling him to share this learning with others.
Javier is a very pragmatic teacher, always setting an example with humility and infinite dedication. He understands Karma Yoga like no one else and always has extra energy to spare whenever needed.
Not shy to challenge others with a kind remark, he is ultimately interested only in the highest good for all, which is a role that naturally and effortlessly emanates from him.
Both Javier and Alicia have a profound knowledge of Hindu philosophy and the intuition needed to practice and teach it.
