Neuromycelia: Awaken Your Inner Pathways — A Transformative Journey to Nourish Your Nervous System and Embodied Self with Fungi, Yoga, Dance, and Sound

Therapist · Singer · Artist · Yoga Teacher A multidimensional being, just like you. Years ago, I found myself in a place of profound pain, diagnosed with two illnesses deemed incurable by conventional medicine. My healing began in silence and devotion, in the Alps—where I surrendered again and again to the mystery of life. Later, the path of plant medicine revealed even deeper layers of transformation. When people ask me, How did you do it? the first thing I say is: I did not do it alone. I never walked this journey alone. Even in solitude, I was guided. I didn’t have much human support—there were not many people, including myself, on my path who truly understood how healing works. But I was never without guidance. I always asked for help—what I call The Power to be Powerless, or in other words, the power of prayer. Silence is the medicine of medicines. When we close all doors, many things within us have the space to be revealed. In nature, we remember our own nature—earth, air, water, fire. Healing did not come from doing more, but from surrendering. Surrender, a master of life, has been my greatest teacher—and still is. I often describe it through three essential concepts: Letting go – Can we truly release? Stop repeating the story, stop holding on, stop feeding it with thought and words, and let the universe take it? Allowing – Can we allow what arises, even if it is terrible pain, sadness, or fear? Can we let it be, instead of resisting or numbing ourselves with substances or distractions? Trusting – Can we stay in trust, not as a hope that tomorrow things will be better, but as the inner wisdom that what is here, right now—even in the deepest pain—is already part of the great miracle? This journey of many years of deep healing transformed me on so many levels—some of them I never expected. Today, I walk this path in service to others. To remind you: healing is not only possible—it’s your birthright. Over time, new expressions of this path unfolded: Yoga arrived after silence. I studied and served in an ashram in Portugal for eight years. To me, yoga is both a science—because it is the science of angles and triangles within your body—and a devotion. We pray simply because we are a prayer. To be a yogi during all these years helped me stay grounded and connected—especially in moments of deep pain. It gave me the structure, breath, and presence I needed not to lose myself when everything felt like falling apart. Sound, music, and voice have also been core to my healing. Sacred sound carries its own power. Before this path, I was not a singer. When the tensions in my spine—belly, chest, throat—began to heal, I became like a hollow bamboo, a vessel through which voice could finally flow. Singing became one of my deepest medicines, and today I feel that every human being carries a unique voice. To liberate and heal is to allow that voice to emerge naturally, to flow through the empty flute. As I often say: we humans speak too much—let us sing instead. Music is the answer. In time, I also became an artist. Before this path, I was not creating. But through meditation and the state of the empty vessel, art began to flow through me. I came to see that creativity is when the creator and the created meet—when you are the empty vessel through which the universe can flow. Art became a way to remain in the now, to step out of overthinking, and to embody presence in a creative form. Over the past five years, I have also dedicated myself to a project called Life Integration – Understanding Healing. This work focuses on integration therapy—supporting people before and after deep transformational journeys. I have witnessed that often the most difficult part of any transformation is not the experience itself, but the weeks that follow. My approach offers tools, practices, and guidance to help participants continue living in grace and harmony with themselves long after the retreat ends. I could not be the person I am today without the difficulties—the “black holes”—that life placed before me. Each one carried hidden potential, a seed of transformation. It is this potential that I now invite others to discover in themselves. Through retreats, workshops, and sacred circles, I share the teachings of silence, surrender, sound, celebration, yoga, vibration, art, integration, and devotion. My work is not just to guide, but to walk alongside you—to remind you that within even the darkest moment, healing is alive, waiting to unfold. And of course, to remind us that life is celebration, and that we are here to celebrate together in an uplifting way. Namaste.
