I entered the room and my jaw dropped...The beauty of the space. The amazing music. It was like another world and I knew we were in for something special"

Heartful was fun and depthful and everything in between. We took creative risks step by step and everyone was engaged. I haven't let loose, dropped the inner critic, and played like this since I can remember.

About Heartful Hosts

As first generation Mexican American I harness the power within my appearance and the lenses of my mixed cultural heritage to lead extraordinary experiences of connection.
I have taught workshops on group dynamics and facilitation throughout North America and
have over 3000 hours leading university level programs geared toward facilitative leadership and diversity and inclusion (AKA intercultural discovery and inspiration).
In 2009 to 2012 I was working with the United Nations and local NGOs in Ecuador.
Upon returning from the first year abroad, I was shocked by a discovery that changed my life.
I arrived at the airport and shortly after being picked up by my dad his phone rang. He answered, “bueno.” It was his sister from Mexico City. The conversation continued and I stared in shock...
My eyes watered as I suddenly heard and saw emotional layers I couldn’t perceive before having learned Spanish.
I thought about the times of confusion, conflict, and countless misunderstandings. My dad's exasperation, “that’s just how I talk.” My mom consoled, “I don’t think he meant it that way.”
Isn't it extraordinary how we can be so near to people and yet so far away?
