Meet your Tour Leader from Costa Rica:  Ana Lucia

Costa Rica • E-RYT 500 • MBA. Ma.

Hi ! Analu, born and raised in San José, Costa Rica, citizen of the Earth.

Meet Analu !

¨Who am I?¨- Was always my deepest question. I spend decades searching for truth in all religions, in many countries and with all the great sages and ¨gurus¨, and I finally returned back to where I began, within, to the essence of my own spirit and heart.

Nomadic by nature and free spirited – I have traveled and traveled, lived in many different countries and enjoyed life to its fullest, riding its waves and honoring its darkness and light – an important core teaching for me. I find myself at home in Bali, a place I treasure as sacred; yet I live everywhere, wherever my heart takes me.

Inspired by my own life experiences, the teachings that have been passed on to me and my quest to discover myself and embrace my own spirituality, I founded Pranaluz Conscious Living, dedicated to support individuals in the own path of awakening to a conscious life. I offer retreats, classes, education, travel journeys, and I am passionate for creating unique experiences for personal growth at all levels of being and worldwide.

I am here to serve you. – Thank you for stopping by.
