Had you ever imagined this moment?

To face the milestone of being part of the beginning of a worldwide

movement towards the expansion of consciousness and the opening

of the heart, which has begun precisely in the most appropriate

place: Yourself?

The purpose that drives this movement is

THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE HUMAN BEING

beginning with each one of us.

It is the intention that unites us.

3

We learn and teach how to perceive unity.

The conscious vision of the multiple facets of reality leads inevitably to an internal-external

perception from an eternal and infinite place

that ends all divisions. In this school we use methods, techniques, and systems,

as well as tools that inspire integration,

with the clear intention of getting rid of them

and to keep only the consciousness of unity.

Hence one of our slogans:

"We integrate all to restore unity"

No transformation is possible as long as we are divided

because transformation is a journey towards unity.

4

We work with Consciousness, not with Ayahuasca

The European School of Ayahuasca is not only the first school of its kind in Europe, it is also the only

ayahuasca school in the world which proposes to forsake the use of ayahuasca.

Therefore, we can state that in this school we are led by consciousness. From it we derive, to it we are

heading, and in this life we are here for and because of it.

When consciousness is genuinely liberated, all tools, techniques or methods

which drive us into consciousness must be abandoned in everyday life

to make way for a new inner space from which life and each situation are faced.

That OPEN SPACE is the integration of consciousness and the heart.

Alberto Varela

Founder, Director, and Professor of the ESA
