Colin

With a background and degree in Coaching Colin has always been deeply passionate about supporting people in bettering their quality of life. After experiencing profound healing in his own life through plant-medicine and shamanic practices, Colin is passionate about creating a world where ayahuasca and psychoactive plants can be used legally and safely. After going through a two-year+ legal battle and a roller coaster of a journey they officially changed the precedents of Ayahuasca in the province of Cadiź (Spain). We know that this clearing alone will have a tremendous impact on the lives of dozens of people and the medicine keepers of the world.  Over his many years of experience it has been his honour and service to diligently create sacred spaces in which these ancestral medicines can be served for the purpose of profound healing and transformation. He works intuitively to tune into each individual, channeling wisdom and insights based on what they uniquely need in that moment. Colin works within the realms of relational receptivity with self, intimate relationships and family dynamics, acknowledging the interconnectedness of these aspects of life. He believes healing starts at home and is the foundation of overall healing and well-being. Together with his partner Ariana they guide people with compassion to release emotional, physical, spiritual and mental blockages through deep energy work, thus creating an environment within that allows the embodiment of their highest self/form of expression.

Sergio

With a generational connection to the medicine, Peruvian Facilitator Sergio Rivadeneyra takes great honour in holding sacred space for others’ inner journeys. Sergio's spiritual journey began at a young age, nurtured by a supportive environment where self-discovery and awareness were deeply encouraged, particularly by his father. Since the age of 16, Sergio has been dedicated to his practice and spiritual evolution, You can feel the foundation of this in his grounded, fatherly and safe presence. Sergio also takes great joy in being a Ceremonial Musician, tuning into the frequencies of the ceremony to express and alchemise what is needed in the space through sound. Over his 50 years of experience he has worked with many different agents of healing and it’s in the later part of his life that ancestral medicine became a big part of his journey and who he is today, he believes that reconnection to the plants, the planet and ourselves has the potential to heal all human dis-ease. Sergio also went through the journey of changing the precedents of Ayahuasca in the province of Cadiź (Spain). With Ayahuasca being part of his cultural heritage and ancestral medicine of his country, Peru, respect and safe accessibility of this medicine is something he feels deeply passionately about. 

Celly

Cellene has felt connected to nature, spiritual practices and alternative medicines for as long as she can remember. Her priority in life is personal growth, inner evolution, and being a caring, nurturing light for others on their journeys. Cellene's journey has not always been an easy one, as for 8 years of her life she was bed bound with 4 herniated discs, sciatica nerve damage, immense pain in her back, and was told she may never be able to walk again. During this time she also received the diagnosis that she only had 10% of her eyesight left and it was possible she could go completely blind. At this point of her life she hit a rock bottom, sending her into a spiral of anxiety and depression. It’s through coming to this extreme that she decided that something had to change. Knowing she had experienced multiple different, shock, developmental and sexual traumas she recognised that these physical ailments were manifestations of the unprocessed trauma she was carrying, she acknowledged she needed to stop suppressing her feelings and commit to her healing. Through different holistic practices, subconscious reprogramming, plant medicines and Ayahuasca she was able to heal, finding forgiveness, understanding, gratitude and love for her past. This gave her a new chance in life. She inspires and shows others that healing is always possible and you can truly turn your life around if you lovingly and sincerely choose to do so. Cellene now supports others through her training and knowledge in herbalism and crystal healing, combining these tools with various forms of body and energy work to cleanse and release trapped energy from peoples bodies and auras. As a facilitator at the Conscious Hub Cellene brings a very supportive, warm, nurturing and loving presence to the space.

Dean

Dean has spent most of his life in the sports industry, although he always had a deep fascination for psychology & human behaviour, which inevitably led him to dive deep into how our minds work, and why we behave the way we do. His football career got cut short due to continuous injuries, which forced him to seek alternative healing methods such as Ayahuasca & other healing modalities. While serving as a great catalyst for introspection, this inner work forced him to realise that most of his physical ailments would stem from a mental/emotional issue at its root.

In becoming increasingly aware of the power of the mind, he was compelled to dig deeper into the way in which our minds dictate our reality, which led him to pursue various avenues of intellectual & experiential exploration. He developed a passion to learn about the human psyche, how we function, human potential and ultimately; Self Realisation. The more he learnt through his own experience and integrated this wisdom within himself, the more he grew a thirst to share this knowledge and support others.

His journey with Ayahuasca started at the age of 22. His thirst for ‘more’ propelled him to attend multiple retreats and trainings. After gaining a wealth of experience with the medicine and benefiting from the profound effects it had on his own life, he began to help facilitate retreats with Conscious-Hub. Dean bring’s a light heartedness to deep work that can often feel quite serious. He offers 1:1 support during retreats, holding others with love and compassion while they walk this journey.
