Francesca Ruggiero

Focus: Clinical psychology

One night in 2011 she attended a sound circle that changed her life completely: the sound helped her to find universal aspects of herself and of everyone at the same time. From that moment on, for the last 5 years, with profound gratitude she is investigating sound and its effects on health. Most of that investigation she has done with Rafo. They called their mutual work, Pachayachachiq which in Quechua means teach/learn what the pacha (space/time) provides you with. As part of her research journey with sound she learnt to incorporate her handcraft work with bamboo and pumpkin to unveil its sounds as well. At the moment she is studying Analytic Psychology or Junguiana.

Patricia Roldan (Argentina)

Focus: Mantra Yoga

I began my spiritual quest when I was 20 years old doing metaphysical meditations, then I experienced Reiki and that path led me to Hatha Yoga where I felt the connection between body, mind and soul. I completed a 2 years Teacher Training with Rafael Pros in Argentina (Indra Devi disciple). Through my connection with Hatha Yoga in depth, my whole being woke up and my interior world started to evolve until it transformed my exterior world as well. I decided to change my life in 2014, I moved to Ecuador and nowadays I am living on the Longevity Valley of Vilcabamba where I teach Hatha and Mantra Yoga.
