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
