Mar Guevara

My name is Marlene Guevara Miguel, better call me Mar!

I am a 58-year-old woman born in Chile and I have lived in Mexico since 2006; The first 7 years I lived in Monterrey and since then in Mexico City, where I still live.

From a young age I was a wild woman. I lost that innate quality for a few years where I let myself be tamed and became obedient. When my hormones were activated, they allowed me to see a reality that in some aspects I did  ot like and I rebelled against it, knowing I could create a different life for myself.

At that time I began to search within myself and resorted, at first, to religion. I found a small book that someone gave away at home, it was a New Testament, while I was reading it, it vibrated in me that I needed to fast to read it and that is how my first discoveries began.

I discovered that he did not believe in an angry, punishing God; I was sure the woman had not come out of a rib and that the limits that she read there only aroused my curiosity more to know who I was and why I had come to this world. It couldn’t be just to study, to be a daughter, sister and friend, so I felt it wasn’t for me.

When I was 14 years old, I found a person who talked to me about different topics, personal growth, exercising the body and esotericism. That person opened a new panorama for me to investigate, learn and experience. However, she also brought very painful experiences into my life, which became a springboard to work with and for women.

That was how I discovered the spiritual life, very different from the religious, from the esoteric, from the mental, a life with which we are born, that accompanies us throughout our existence and that we generally forget to entertain ourselves in the mundane, with the everyday, with the rush, with doing, with having. And I‘m not saying this is wrong, we all need to live certain experiences, which at some other time, will lead us to ourselves.

I trained as a Yoga, Meditation and Human Development instructor while working as an Administrator. It was there, between asanas, breathing and deepening where I came back to myself, where I met again with the wild woman, the one who fell asleep while forming a home, working and sustaining the energy of productivity and duty to be. She was still there: faithful and loving waiting for me.

This meeting and new self-discovery brought me to Mexico, I came, without knowing anyone to perform a Social Service through Yoga and Human Development. I first asked my children their feelings and they gave me their blessing, I said goodbye to a job of 13 years, I sold my house and with two suitcases I jumped into the unknown.

Today I dedicate myself to accompanying women who go through life processes, who cross portals of self-knowledge, of reunion with themselves, stages in which our hormones experience changes that modify us physically, mentally and emotionally. I walk with women who need to listen, look, love, support to live their own transformations.

I am a Guardian of life, of nature, of the Earth and of the ancestral Wisdom that inhabits all women and that is why I feel happy and honored to be part of this community of women for women.
