The Art of Living Purposefully is a series of courses, workshops, books and research projects for personal and spiritual growth which together constitute a whole new way of living, that is founded upon the recovery of the lost awareness of our other self.
Our approach to human development evolves from the realization that human awareness has two opposite but complementary compartments: Tonal* (based on reason) and Nagual* (based on silent knowledge). Both parts are essential and both are sacred. Personal strength and clarity come from balancing them. If we disregard one and focus only on the other, our whole energetic system suffers and bring trouble.
Striving for that balance, our work proposals don't come from imagination or even just creative thinking, but from actual research that takes place in two main arenas: the indigenous communities with Toltec ascendancy and the non-indigenous groups and individuals looking for human development in a down to the earth way. The indigenous related research takes place through the anti-anthropology style field research on their actual communities and through the study of ancient codices from XVI century and before. On the non-indigenous side, our proposals has been implemented, verified and improved extensively in many countries over the world for more than 25 years in all kind of settings. This settings include among many others: personal and spiritual growth groups, training for therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, artists, students, entrepreneurs, authors, business organizations, etc.
I all those fields we have found again and again, that the human soul is one and no matter the context, we all need to nurture and balance the two sides of what we are.
