Your Guides

Leslie L. Bost
Leslie lives a Nomadic life with her husband and 4 children. Currently, living in France and Mexico. She is a human being who deeply cares about the connection with our children, our world, and most importantly the connection to ourselves. She believes that if we nourish ourselves from within, with loving self-care on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level, we will become the change we want to see.
The origin of her story into healing started after much trauma, abuse, abandonment, adoption, eating disorders, deep depression, multiple miscarriages, complicated pregnancies, NICU babies, and all of the challenges that these experiences bring to a marriage and parenting. This journey brought her to healing through mindfulness, meditation, therapy, compassion, and ultimately conscious parenting with Dr. Shefali Tsabary, trauma-informed work with Dr. Gabor Mate, Spiritual Psychology with Suzi Lula, Intuitive Intelligence with Ricci-Jane Adams, Transcendental Meditation (TM), Accountability holder of The Presence Process, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Timeline Therapy, Liberation Coach, and most recently a Masters in Conscious Parenting with Yvonne Laborde and Post-Grad in Spiritual Direction.
This process of liberation and study has allowed her to develop a methodology by which she guides others. Currently, she with her husband Juan are building a family healing retreat center & community named Casa Damara, in Pescadero, Mexico alongside their children.
With experience in event planning and her methodology, she has led retreats in places like Los Cabos, Mexico & San Francisco. Her goal is to guide overwhelmed humans, parents, and coaches to tap into their inner power and intuition, create compassionate inner-connection, while acknowledging their God nature, and navigate life so they can better understand their triggers, patterns, and beliefs to better connect with their loved ones in presence.

Juan Diaz Rivera
While always curious about personal growth and existential philosophy since his college Psychology minor, Juan reluctantly joined a path of personal growth. Despite years of books conspicuously placed on bedsides and much frustrated nudging from Leslie he dove deep into personal growth after hitting bottom in depression and marriage failure.
While certified in Soul Care Coaching by Suzi Lula, Transcendental Meditation (TM), Breathwave and, most recently, a Masters in Conscious Parenting with Yvonne Laborde, Juan’s work brings a layman’s approach to this journey. Juan’s work is centered in the knowing that his role is not to provide answers, but to accompany other fathers to ask the questions that will re-frame our collective journey as men and parents.
This work has encouraged Juan to bring his lifelong love of Real Estate to the co-creation of Casa Damara, a conscious family community center & community in Pescadero, Mexico alongside his wife Leslie and children.

Soul Care & Conscious Parenting Coach - Juan Diaz Rivera
Expert in Conscious Parenting and family dynamics

Yoga Instructor & Sound Healer - Valery Devillers Braun
Valery DéBé discovered yoga in Lebanon in 2005. It is thanks to this practice and, more particularly to that of Kundalini yoga, that he embarked on the path of gongs and medical instruments from 2015. He practiced with Philippe GARNIER, Don CONREAUX, John BEAULIEU, Alessandra MONTANA, Silvia NAKKACH, and he received their teachings.
For 5 years, he has offered sound immersions every week. He also participates in performances in yoga studios and he takes part in several training courses where he transmits what he has received. He had the opportunity to guide several GONG PUJA during training to celebrate the solstices.

Yoga- Morgane Boulangé
Multifaceted artist (Photographer, DJ, Make up artist ...) it was in 2010 that Morgane met yoga during a trip to India in Tamil Nadu.
It will be many years later while walking on the paths of the primordial tradition and shamanism that she met Kundalini Yoga, which touched her heart.
Also called the yoga of consciousness, Morgane offers you a space to create a conduite to the encounter with oneself and one's full potential.
It is a tantric yoga that works on the harmonization of the feminine and masculine polarities that we all have in us. A technology that acts on our physical body of course, but also on our lymphatic, glandular system, our emotional and subtle bodies.
In this class, Morgane invites you to co-create a sacred space in which we work with kriyas: targeted sequences of postures (asanas), guided breathing (pranayamas) and chanted meditations (naad yoga) or silent meditations. She can be found on Instagram at @morgane.wildchild.yoga

Cacao Ceremony & Catering - Joelma (Mapuani) Leitao & Jeff François
Mapuani is the indigenous name given to Joelma by her mother, who was Pagé, or Magé (a medicine woman of Huni Kuin tribe of the Amazon Forest)
Since relocating to the Balearic Islands in 2019 with her family, Joelma began to give more space to Mapuani into her life, honouring the tradition of medicine women who came before her.
She offers transformative healing through voice, touch, and natural remedies. Her unique blend of personal development and holistic healing techniques is rooted in ancestral wisdom.
Mapuani & Jeff will prepare nutritious, organic, clean family-friendly meals and maintain healthy snacks at all times for all guests.
Jeff & Joelma will also guide the Cacao Ritual & Shamanic Trance Dance Ceremony.
Cacao, known for opening the heart and fostering positive energy, finds its synergy with dance, creating a force that resonates within. This is a beautiful opportunity to continue to open our hearts. The journey commences with rhythmic breathing and body movement, invoking the essence of cacao through medicine songs and energizing drumbeats. Senses will also be awakened throughout the dance
with essences and scents of flowers and plants. A gift to experience as a family.
Support Staff:

Laetitia Jeanpierre-Berraud:
Laetitia is a singer. The Amazon rainforest has been a source of inspiration and confidence for her music. During her travels to indigenous communities, she has been fortunate to learn many traditional songs of the Amazon forest with her companion.
She has chosen to continue singing not only to support her work in her association Jiboiana, where she raises awareness for indigenous causes, but also to transmit the energy of the forest through her music. She has a special connection with children and has previously taught and worked with them.
She believes in the power of music to connect people and create positive change, and she is grateful for the opportunity to share her passion for singing with others.
She will be our connection and group facilitator who will explore, guide, care and play with children, under Leslie’s guidance, during adult activities. Lae is also a singer, musician and songwriter who will play live music during Cacao Ceremony.
