Gabriel Rodríguez

I was born in a community in the southern region of Costa Rica, a place where for 30 years the ideal of living sustainably, cultivating the being in all its forms, and recovering the connection with nature that we’ve lost, was maintained. This is where my growth and learning began, reaching expanded states of consciousness through meditation and breathwork, while cultivating a deep connection with nature, the elements, and the energy of the whole.

Aware that my purpose was to help people, I decided to study psychology. It wasn’t until two and a half years into my studies that I realized what I was learning didn’t fully align with my vision of the mind and human existence. That’s when I knew I had to follow the call of my being. I began to heal, grow, and awaken.

At the same time, an opportunity to specialize in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy with an institute in Barcelona, Spain, presented itself. Without much hesitation, I felt it was something I had to do. This marked the beginning of my journey with psychedelics, where I came to understand the great tool they can be for many people and the states we can reach by using them properly.

However, I maintain the belief that any state necessary for growth can be reached through non-substance methods, while recognizing that for many, psychedelics can be the key they need for their awakening, but it is not the only path.

Young body, old soul.
