May we become living flames and radiate our warmth in all directions, to all our relations.
The warmth and luminosity of fire serve as living symbols of the highest potentials of humans and world. From the ancestral Big Burst at the dawn of time and the cosmic birth of galaxies and stars, to the radiant vibrancy of the planetary web of life and the magical spark of awareness, fire’s presence is fundamental to the dance of existence.
In these times of profound ecological and cultural transformation, there is a great need to rekindle the fiery essence of our elemental nature and renew our participation in the living tapestry of life.
Living Flames brings together the work of Adrián Villaseñor Galarza at the confluence of transpersonal ecopsychology, contemplative practice, psycho-spiritual developments, and Earth-based spirituality. Through teaching, writing, facilitation, individual work, and ritual, this work aims to cultivate wakeful, kind, embodied, and regenerative ways of relating to self and world.

Adrián
Adrián Villaseñor Galarza, PhD, is Associate Professor in the East-West Psychology Department at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), adjunct faculty at Antioch University and Naropa University, and founder of Instituto Bioalkimia and The Work That Reconnects Latin America. A transpersonal ecopsychologist, international facilitator, ritualist, author, and contemplative teacher, his work is devoted to human transformation in service of the living Earth.
Trained in contemplative psychotherapy, transpersonal psychology, family constellations, ritual and shamanic traditions, as well as contemplative traditions—particularly yoga and Tibetan Buddhism—Adrián brings together Eastern and Western teachings of liberation, systemic-transpersonal approaches, Earth-based wisdom, and ecopsychology. Lineages of beauty, wisdom, and compassion that he has honored since adolescence continue to guide his work toward self-discovery, healing, and regenerative action.
