What will you
carry forward?
Some of what you carry sustains life. Some of it took shape in response to pain—and now keeps that pain in motion.
Learning to tell the difference is where change begins: in a life, a family, a territory.
For those moving through grief, burnout, or a life that no longer fits—and for those who accompany others through growth and change.

Living Fire
What we carry changes
when it is witnessed.
Once a month, I light a fire at my home in Kaukitá, Colombia. You light a candle wherever you are.
Grief can be held. Gratitude can become an offering. Questions can remain open without being rushed.
You don’t need an answer before you arrive.
About Andrés
I am inside
this work, too.
I spent five years at Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, and returned to Colombia as someone I had not set out to become. The practices I share are the ones I return to in my own life.
Today I live at Kaukitá, thirty hectares of restored tropical dry forest in Pereira, Colombia. From here, I accompany individuals and communities through private sessions, fire, ceremony, circles, training, and writing.
Since 2012, people have come to this work when they need to see clearly, feel what they have had to avoid, and find a way forward they can actually sustain. I do not impose a direction or offer a quick solution. I listen for what is alive, help strengthen the capacity to remain with it, and offer perspective and practice when needed.
The direction is yours. I will listen with you until you can recognize it—and help you build the capacity to follow it.

Private Reading
Nawal
Reading
A private reading of your birth energy—and your relationship with it.
Cholq’ij
In the Cholq’ij, every day carries a particular energy. The energy of the day on which you were born is your nawal.
A reading explores its potential, challenges, recurring patterns, and responsibilities—and how it is already taking form through your life.
Your nawal is not a label to claim. It is a relationship to cultivate.
Includes a private recording and a personalized written summary.

When the work asks
for continuity
Living Fire opens the door. These paths are for when something needs to be accompanied over time.
Seasonal circles
For times of transition.
A small group that returns to the fire through a season, for when something in your life is changing form and you would rather not move through it alone.
1:1 Work
For what asks to be met one-to-one.
Therapeutic sessions and private fire ceremonies for what needs more time, privacy, or focused attention.
Learning & Training
For those who want to deepen the ground from which they live and accompany others.
Workshops and longer paths of study and practice for developing the capacity to sustain ourselves and accompany others. Fire, cacao, ceremony, and reverence become ways of returning to the Earth and life as our first books.
