Francisco Alonso (41, Spain)
is an Architect and a Spiritual Guide based in Berlin.
His journey has always been driven by one question :
what lies beneath the surface of ordinary experience ?
During his Erasmus studies in Romania,
he discovered different ways of living
and experienced an expansion of his world
at all levels that eventually brought him to Berlin.
But the deeper journey began with meditation.
Back in Spain, at a time when he felt deeply entangled in conflict,
both with himself and with the people around him,
Transcendental Meditation opened a space
he had never experienced before.
A space where he could observe his mind,
question his deepest convictions
and recognise how profoundly
our thoughts shape our reality.
What followed was more than a decade of meditation,
philosophical study and contemplative practice,
especially with Anthroposophic groups in Berlin.
Then came the opportunity he had been waiting for a decade :
India, the land where the light of hope still shines,
where one could empty himself completely
and be born again.
Yoga came to life in his body,
in his breath and in each of his movements,
in temples, in sound, in silence,
and in the extraordinary presence
of the people he encountered.
Spirituality blossomed in his heart.
It was finally embodied, immediate and alive.
Since then, his work has been an ongoing attempt
to bring these worlds together.
SÆR Meditations grew from this search for integration.
Yoga, Holistic Massage, Meditation, Yoga Nidra,
Chakra Work, and Dance are not separate interests,
but different manifestations of a deep longing :
to do the inner work.
I draw from ancient Greek Philosophy,
Anthroposophy and Indian and Buddhist traditions,
while remaining open to the knowledge
that emerges through direct experience.
When this knowledge becomes embodied
and enters into dialogue with our world today,
everything is possible.
And when we share it,
it multiplies.
Our goal is to help people
reconnect with themselves.
Sometimes this happens through movement and breath.
Sometimes through deep relaxation and Yoga Nidra.
Sometimes through touch and massage.
Sometimes through meditation, conversation or symbolic exploration.
The form changes,
but the intention remains the same :
to release energy blockages,
balance the immune system
and open new paths within.
In retreats and immersive experiences
this work becomes a shared field of practice,
reflection and transformation.
Berlin is where he currently teaches and develops his work.
India remains an essential source of inspiration,
and the place to which he intends to return
as a prodigal son returns home.
