Three Decades of Wisdom: A Journey with EUROTAS

Bridging Continents: Our Commitment to Transpersonal Growth

Magda Solé & Jaume Mestres

It was the dawn of the new millennium when we first joined EUROTASthe European Association for Transpersonal Psychology, drawn by a shared vision to explore the depths of human consciousness and transcend the boundaries of knowledge. Twenty years have passed since that initial encounter EUROTAS two decades of unwavering loyalty and commitment to an association that has grown from its European roots to embrace a global and transpersonal perspective.

Throughout these years, our dedication has been absolute. As members of the board of directors, we have worked tirelessly to foster a spirit of collaboration and growth. We have held positions of responsibility as vice presidents and treasurers, always with the mission of safeguarding the integrity and advancement of our transpersonal community. Not only have we been participants, but also architects of new structures within EUROTAS, founding the Department of Transpersonal Coaching: a space where personal transformation meets ancestral wisdom and contemporary human development techniques.

Furthermore, we were pioneers in creating the EUREKA Department of Anthropology, Ethnology, and Indigenous Knowledge Rights. This department has become a beacon highlighting the importance of preserving and respecting ancestral wisdom, recognizing the valuable contributions of indigenous cultures to the global landscape of spirituality and transpersonal knowledge.

Over these three decades, we have undertaken countless exploratory and ethno-therapeutic journeys in an unrelenting search for the Holy Grail of healing. Our travels have taken us to the most remote and mystical corners of the world—from the dense jungles of Latin America to the spiritual deserts of Africa and the sacred mountains of Asia. In each place, we have sought and absorbed the wisdom of elders, healers, and shamans who have taught us the secrets of plants, rituals, and healing energies passed down through generations.

Each journey has been a new chapter in our book of life, adding depth and richness to our understanding of the universe and ourselves. We have immersed ourselves in traditions, danced with spirits, and prayed under the stars, always with open hearts and minds ready to learn and heal. This journey has forged and transformed us, uniting our souls with the very essence of humanity and the planet.
Today, we wish to express our belonging to this sacred land. We are deeply proud to welcome all those who come from distant lands, just as we once did. Having chosen this land as our own, we feel a profound legitimacy to take on the role of co-hosts, sharing with you the wisdom and love we have found here.
Welcome to this meeting place, where the roots of ancient wisdom intertwine with our modern lives, and where together we can explore the mysteries and wonders that Oaxaca has to offer.
