Ana-Karyn Garcia

Ana-Karyn Garcia was born in Cartagena, Colombia on July 18, 1958.

The best way to describe our founder is as a lover of life. “I am so deeply in love with life that I cannot denounce it. I am here to enhance the feeling for it. Since an early age Ana-Karyn was identified by school teachers, parents and social circles as a non-conforming mind.

“I see how social structure mutilates all your potentials with doctrines and dogmas. We don’t have a real inner freedom. As we grow older we become more stiff, more serious, more neurotic, more removed from the joy of life. Really, society should be the playground where we grow our own uniqueness.”

Ana-Karyn is an author, an artist, a mother and a teacher. She inspires students from different cultures and backgrounds to achieve balance in their life in an effortless way. The innocence and simplicity in her teachings make the transformation light and efficient. “My only philosophy is to bring people to the beauty of the present moment, to make them more united so the joy, the celebration, tand he gratitude can emerge from the individual source as a natural expression of life.”

 



Her “formal” studies encompass psychology at the University INCCA in Colombia, Gestalt Therapy at the Synergy Center, Kundalini Yoga as well as various healing practices. The blessings of Yogi Bhajan's and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's teachings inspired her to open The Bioenergetics Institute in 1997 for people in need of healing and guidance. “My best studies are in the field of life: traveling through different countries and meeting teachers that challenge my falsities and neurosis is the best educational gift I have received. The education towards inner freedom is the true university. My vision of The Bioenergetics is to give the oppportunity to students who are seeking to awaken their inner knowledge and to apply it to their life.”

Over the last 25 years, her art work has been exhibited in both national and international galleries. Brazil, Spain, Korea, Japan, Colombia and Canada have all hosted her creative work. She has won numerous art awards, grants and has also received media highlights. She also does public speaking engagements and workshops at diverse centres, schools and galleries, bringing together the self spontaneous expressions as a healing method.
“Art is a facilitator, a bridge between the technology and prayerfulness, it is an inner celebration of freedom ; it is a medium to transform the talking into an inner creative phenomenon. Art is not there to explain something or to make you understand, it is to bring forward a silence that creates a certain quality within your being."
