At the Heart of the Mystery
Ayazen Initiative is rooted in the cultivation of deep relaxation practices and compassionate mindfulness during entheogenic experimentations, in order to enable the process of self reflection and self awareness, contributing for the introspective rediscovery of our natural capacity to create meaning and paths in our lives.
Open your heart, feel the Cosmos reflected in your Consciousness and inaugurate new empathic bonds with yourself and other beings.
Initiate yourself in the deep realization of the Perfection of your own Nature.
Beyond any religious dogmas, our spiritual practices are fundamented in the first person experience of the depth and luminosity of the natural Consciousness. You are invited to come and discover for yourself the occult dimensions of your own mind.
AyaZen Center
Ayazen is a non-profit religious Organization, freely dedicated to bring more visibility and comprehension of the non ordinary dimensions of Consciousness through meditative experiences.
Our mission is to allow a time and space for introspective expansion of the individual consciousness, with special focus on its transpersonal and collective dimension. Our work aims at the immense unknown potential of wisdom and compassion that emerge from the healthy alignment between mind and heart.
We cultivate deep respect for the roots of humanity’s different religious traditions. We celebrate the cultural and existential diversity in the different manifestations of the Spirit.
We dream of a more equanimous and balanced world where individual and collective transformations can exist far from destructive extremes, in a healthy and organic way for all.
In benefit of all beings.

AyaZen Atelier
Also known as Atelier Sangha, our physical site encompasses an Atelier dedicated to the integration of Arts and Crafts with Meditation and Contemplation Practices, guided by the inspiring presence of Xá and his experience in Transcendental and Visionary Arts.
The type of art to be developed by each one in the Atelier is secondary.
Our primary focus is to make Art a means of spiritual practices, from the mindfulness in the act of creation and dissolution to the possibility of shadow working through the exploration of subconscious aspects that emerge during the activities.
Many participants of our retreats have become our spiritual friends, helping in the works and maintenance of daily activities, creating art while meditating through the use of entheogens.
