ANA LUISA VALDES

Sometimes life doesn’t need to be changed.
Sometimes we simply need to step away from the noise long enough to hear ourselves again.

When things get loud or heavy, we can forget what it feels like to simply be. Other times we don’t even know where to begin.

To slow down.
To breathe.
To listen inward.
To reconnect with the body, with nature, with silence — and with the parts of ourselves we’ve been too busy to hear.

A SER was created as an invitation to do exactly that.

A space to pause.
A space to soften.
A space to return to yourself.
A space to refresh your energy.

You just need a safe place that reminds you who you are.

A SER — a retreat to come back to yourself.

DM me “SER” and I’ll send you the details. ✨

Imagine for a moment...
You are in need of something deeper than rest.
A time for restoration.
In Spanish “Hacer” is to do and “A Ser” is to be. This is your opportunity to bring fresh energy into your body, mind and heart and go from doing into BEING. From “hacer” to “ A Ser”
A time to move differently—without pushing yourself beyond what is known, comfortable, and familiar.
You have been working hard.
You have accomplished so much already.
Now, it’s time to put down the paintbrush, the pen, the computer... even the thinking mind.
And come back into your body.
To breathe.
To feel.
To receive.
To experience.
To simply be.
A SER
Coming soon.
DM me A SER to get more details.

There was something incredibly special about this weekend that I’m still taking in. 🤍
Beyond the workshops themselves, I was deeply moved by the people.

Seeing clients I’ve had the privilege of working with over the years come by to say hello, sit in the circle, and share these practices with me filled my heart with so much gratitude.

I also met beautiful new souls who joined one workshop and felt called to stay for another. Others arrived because someone had shared their experience from the day before. And even those who couldn’t make it reached out with kind messages or stopped by just to say hello.

One of the most touching moments was hearing the words people shared with me at the end of the workshops. Hearing how they felt, what they experienced, and what they were able to reconnect with reminded me why I continue to create these spaces.

Because this spaces are about relationships, trust, community, and the ripple effect that happens when one person has a meaningful experience and shares it with another. Because this is universal transmutation, healing universally.

This weekend, I allowed myself to fully receive it all—the conversations, the hugs, the smiles, the support, the testimonials, and the presence. It was a beautiful reminder that we are creating something together.

A heartfelt thank you to Carnaval del Sol for trusting me with this experience.
