Throughout history, numerous traditions have described the inner journey that leads to personal and spiritual growth. One of the most popular contemporary models to illustrate this process is Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s JourneyWhile it depicts the hero’s (or heroine’s) quest for a treasure or vital truth, it also serves as a practical guide for understanding moments of crisis and opportunities for change in anyone’s life.

In a world that seems to move faster each day, where technology often replaces human labor and the sense of connection feels increasingly distant, a fundamental question arises: How can we recreate ourselves as “human beings”? The answer, while simple in essence, is deeply transformative: we must reclaim the power of craftsmanship. Craftsmanship is not merely the creation of useful or beautiful objects; it is an act of integration between individual hands and collective memory, a bridge that reconnects us with our essence and roots.

At Macuil, creativity is not limited to an artistic skill; it is a gateway to deep consciousness. It is a tool that allows us to transform our perception and build authentic relationships with the world and ourselves. The hand, with its five fingers, symbolizes our capacity to touch, shape, and give form to reality. It invites us to create from the heart, reminding us that all human creation holds the power to construct and to destroy.

It was the dawn of the new millennium when we first joined EUROTAS, the 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—two decades of unwavering loyalty and commitment to an association that has grown from its European roots to embrace a global and transpersonal perspective.

The Transpersonal Education at Macuil is founded on creativity, psycho-spiritual awareness, and the principles of Mexican ancestral wisdom. From connecting with nature and recognizing our internal cycles to embodying cosmovisions as lived experiences, each session has nurtured the potential for self-discovery, transformation, and personal flourishing.

In a world in constant transformation, where the search for meaning and connection is more relevant than ever, we are excited to host the 25th EUROTAS International Conference—a gathering that will bring together faces, minds, and hearts from various disciplines to explore the frontiers of consciousness, spirituality, and art.
