🌿 My story as a guide in Indigenous spirituality and a curandero 🌿
In this circle of conscious entrepreneurs in Tulum, I had the opportunity to share my story.
Not as a brand — but as a human being who has lived through bankruptcy, divorce, reinvention… and who has been held by spirituality, community, and the deep desire to serve.
Speaking in this safe space helped me realize something essential:
I’m not starting from scratch... I’m starting from experience.
✨ Being heard without judgment was medicine.
✨ I felt it was time to openly embrace my path as a curandero, without hiding.
✨ I released years of built-up tension and received the blessing of nervous system regulation.
I cried in front of everyone.
I didn’t edit it. I didn’t hide it. Because that moment was medicine in itself: the honest tears of a man who had carried too much and finally allowed himself to surrender.
This is the path of the curandero: to heal from within, and then serve from that place.
My journey as a curandero in the Riviera Maya has been unfolding for 25 years. I’ve been guided by Mayan elders, Indigenous spirituality, Catholic theology, Buddhism, and the 12-step path.
I’ve also lived through loss, abuse, bankruptcy, gentrification, depression, self-sabotage…
And still, life is beautiful.
Today I reconnect with my purpose:
To guide spiritual experiences through healing Mayan massage and conscious tours.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for holding this space.
Thank you for letting me show up as I am.
Your friend,
Adrián
