I was born in Brazil 1976. I've studied law, but I became a professional party producer organizing electronic music festivals for big crowds between the years of 2000-2012. All the while, I never stopped learning and traveling; I got deep into spirituality and went several times to India - the ashram of Sai Baba in Puttaparthi became my second home. My interest in body and integration lead me to become certified in Rolfing and Hatha Yoga. Then I took a sabbatical year, to travel around the world with Fernanda before we came back to get married and have Mathias. Four years later we left again, this time to Boulder, Colorado. Benjamin was born there, while I was doing an M.A. in contemplative wisdom traditions at Naropa University. There I could deepen my understanding of what spirituality and selfless service meant while seeing my face reflected in that unique mandala of peers, teachers, and teachings. I could also begin a committed meditation practice by receiving honest and deep instruction, which was key to embody the teachings I had full-heartedly cherished for so long - which, of course, is an ongoing process. Since 2017 I attend retreats and study the teachings of the American-born spiritual teacher Adyashanti. I am a devotee of Christ, Buddha, and Sai Baba, presently living with my family in Ilhabela, an island on the coast of the province of Sao Paolo whose name means 'beautiful island'.
