Your Facilitators: Gerardo Urias, Author, Breathwork Facilitator, Public Speaker, Life Coach: Gerardo Urias is an author, breathwork facilitator, public speaker, and life coach. Gerardo's recently published book details his journey out of depression with psilocybin mushrooms, breathwork, cold plunges, yoga, meditation, and philosophy. In what had become a suicidal downward spiral of depression, Gerardo was jolted out of this trajectory overnight with psilocybin mushrooms. Ever since that day 4 years ago, Gerardo has thrown himself into the world of self awareness, self improvement, and mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. Gerardo now works to raise awareness for "alternative" medicines and therapies for overall health through writing books, filming documentaries, recording podcasts, and holding workshops, classes, and retreats. Gerardo's current projects include a documentary about his journey, a second book detailing his recent journey with 5MeO-DMT in Tepoztlan, Mexico, wellness workshops in California, and building multiple psychedelic healing retreats in California and Mexico.

She embarked on her journey of self-growth and healing after immigrating from Germany to the USA and her shortly thereafter divorce. With the support of her Life Coach at the time she experienced major changes and started a regular meditation practice. Noticing all the benefits of meditation, she felt called to share this powerful tool with others. Tamara has been leading meditation classes and workshops for companies, yoga studios, and wellness Centers in San Diego. You can also book her for one-on-one sessions and retreats. Her passion lies in deep healing meditations that decrease anxiety and stress and increase self-worth and confidence. She is committed to support others in becoming free of limitations and fear, to step into their full potential and authenticity so that they can live life to the fullest. During her classes and workshops, she sets a high value on connection and offers a space in which people can share openly and vulnerably. Tamara believes that healing and growing is more fun TOGETHER. Margy Rose, Yoga Instructor Margy is a yoga teacher and women’s empowerment coach. She’s been practicing for 13 years because, for her, yoga is the most well-rounded means to develop personal strength and empowerment–in body, mind and spirit. Margy is so passionate about making all of yoga’s teachings (beyond just the physical practice) accessible because they encourage us to cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness, live with intention and reconnect to the true self, so we can grow into our potential “off the mat.” When not teaching or coaching, you can find Margy building community through a yogi book club and twice a month women’s circles, doing something active or on an adventure! Fund Raiser! This will be the last Ascension workshop for a bit as Gerardo leaves to co-host a workshop in Yosemite (details at www.takingbackmymind.com/events) and then heads to Oaxaca, Mexico to begin working on starting a psychedelic healing retreat as well as continue to film for his upcoming documentary about using alternative medicines, therapies, and modalities for mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. All proceeds will help fund these projects and help raise awareness for mental health. There will be books, shirts, earrings, hats, and many ways you can help! We can take cash and Venmo. There will also be a raffle at the end of the workshop where we will be giving away some swag. This is going to be epic! We can't wait! See you on May 7!
