exploring our human experience

ABOUT US

What is Art2BeHuman and what makes it relevant now?​

​

Living life as a human being is not easy at times, definitely not a straight line, but more of a winding path, where every turn shapes who you become.

​

In a world where we're making so much technological progress, focusing on learning how to navigate our human experience has never been more important.

​

OUR BELIEFS

We are all connected in the natural world

At Art2BeHuman we believe everything is energy: objects and beings, all connected as one. Understanding what it means to be human within the wider context of Nature, helps us reconnect with our true nature as individuals.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER 

Raquel Rubio Higueras

Hola! I'm Raquel, welcome to Art2BeHuman.

 

I've always been fascinated by human beings, our human experience as individuals and what brings us together to achieve the most amazing things.

 

What are we? What's our true nature? What connects us to others? How do we learn to be human? For me, this was the start of a long list of lifelong questions to seek answers for.

​

Art2BeHuman was born from the realization that no matter how uniquely different we are as individuals, how we may define our essence, or how we may identify with the variety of roles we play in life, one thing is certain: we're all here experiencing life as human beings.

 

Sharing our journey as members of this complex species is what has connected civilizations through history and continues to connect us all globally today. 

 

Experiencing life as a human being may be challenging at times. My wish is that in joining our community you find the inspiration, opportunity and tools to live a fulfilled life and you support others to do the same.

​

Hope you enjoy exploring with us. 

​

Love, Raquel

OUR SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

​

At Art2BeHuman we adopt a multidisciplinary approach to support human beings grow. 

We do the hard work for you by curating knowledge from a variety of sciences and practices across the world, turning them into practical insights.

​

Our learning methodology blends the latest research in behavioral sciences with the wisdom from Eastern philosophies and ancient traditions. Mother Nature is one of our key sources of inspiration and wisdom.

​

We use creativity, play, multi-sensorial techniques and the arts to make learning joyful and a truly transformational experience.

SOPHROLOGY & YOGA

 

Sophrology has a Greek name for a technique developed in Spain over sixty years ago. It translates as the science of consciousness in harmony.

​

Sophrology uses body movement, breathing exercises, and visualization techniques to ground the body and calm the mind.

 

A practice that combines Eastern philosophies such as yoga, zen meditation and Tibetan Buddhism with western science such as psychology, neurology and phenomenological  psychiatry.

​

The yoga we teach is Yoga Sangraha, a modern, structured approach to classical Hatha yoga developed by our teacher Eddie Stern in New York City. It compiles postures, kriyas, and pranayama to strengthen the nervous system and body. Yoga Sangraha is not a new type of Yoga, but a celebration and practice of the classical Yoga practices using a contemporary approach, with science and tradition as a sourcebook. 

​​

NLP & COACHING 

​

NLP is the study of the structure of subjective behavior.

​

A set of practical tools and techniques to help people to achieve excellence in all aspects of their life. 

​

Coaching is a deeply personal skill centered around the power of  questioning and active listening with the aim to empower individuals to  take full responsibility for their thoughts, emotions, energy and behavior to lead a fulfilled life. 

​

We work with individuals so that they can better understand themselves by listening and asking the right questions. We can help change negative thinking, build confidence, and see challenges in a more positive way. We also guide in setting goals and staying focused so that clients can achieve more of what they want in life.

NUTRITION & HOLISTIC WELLBEING

​

Our health and wellbeing is at the core of thriving in life as human beings.

​

We bring a holistic healing approach aimed at achieving radiant health. Nutrition is a great way to start, although when working with clients we nurture body, mind and soul.

 

We share what we've learnt from cultures of longevity such as Traditional Chinese Medicine or Ayurveda to inspire people to own their health in today's world.

​

Such practices, support both physical and mental well-being, making it easier to stay balanced and energized throughout the day. When the body and mind are properly cared for, it becomes easier to build consistent daily habits and make positive choices. Over time, these small, healthy routines lead to lasting behavior change and overall improvement in quality of life.
