1:1 Art Therapy Sessions - Spanish and English
Sabrina Bermudez
Art therapy offers a space for inquiry, integration, and genuine exploration. Through dialogue, artistic expression, and contemplative practices, these individual sessions support participants in relating to their experience with greater honesty and awareness. This work brings together personal and spiritual development as part of a shared process of maturation and self-discovery. A central aspect of this approach is the discernment between the self-image shaped by the past, the ideal self projected into the future, and the experiential self, which can only be encountered fully in the present moment. Why this work now? We live in a time in which the same images, desires, and narratives circulate at great speed. We often give our attention to ways of thinking, feeling, and desiring that repeat themselves again and again, while imagination, intuition, and symbolic understanding are increasingly pushed to the margins. Stepping out of repetition and the homogenisation of human experience becomes a profoundly vital task. Art offers something radically simple and deeply human: a way of participating in life rather than merely consuming it. It leads us towards the liberation of our creative capacity, an inherent force of life itself seeking expression through us. The result is greater vitality, inner freedom, clarity of direction, authenticity, and a fuller and more responsible way of inhabiting our own lives.
Chōwa: A Sanctuary for Balance. A Space for Transformation.
Piedra Muda LAB
After consolidating its impact at the Festival of Consciousness (FOC'25) in Barcelona, Piedra Muda LAB moves its cutting-edge technology to the intimacy of its studio. Chōwa (調和) is not an invitation to superficial rest, but an excellent opportunity for the most honest act that exists: facing ourselves. We start from an irrefutable technical and philosophical premise: energy does not lie. In the noise of everyday life, the body holds a truth that the mind often ignores. Chōwa uses high-precision biometric sensors to capture and map your physical, emotional, and mental state in real time. An individual and ephemeral orchestration: The session is a purely individual experience. Your biometric data is not only measured; it is transformed. The system processes your unique frequency to generate, in that very present moment, an atmosphere of visuals and sound frequencies designed exclusively to resonate with you. It is a dialogue between your biology and technology: an immersion where you see yourself, hear yourself, and calibrate yourself. Rigour and Validation: This experiential device is the result of three years of scientific research, validating its capability for orchestrating states of consciousness and the recovery of homeostasis. It is not chance; it is engineering applied to being. Experience details: Sessions: Individual, private, and personalized. Languages: Sessions available in Spanish and English (sessions available in English).
