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 a simple realization: however different we are, however we define ourselves or the roles we play, we share one thing. We are all experiencing life as human beings.
​
That shared experience has connected people across cultures and generations, and it connects us globally today. But the world is changing fast. As technology and AI grow smarter, they can do more and more of what we once did, and it's easy to lose touch with ourselves and each other. Now, more than ever, we need the qualities no machine can replace: connection, creativity and the clarity to make conscious choices.
​
Being human can 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 that you support others to do the same.
​
Hope you enjoy exploring with us.
​
Love, Raquel
About
CO-OWNERS
Raquel Rubio Higueras & Brian Dumaual
Raquel and Brian are co-owners of Art2BeHuman. They met in New York City and moved upstate to the Hudson Valley, NY, which now serves as their home base. From there, they design, curate, and facilitate learning experiences both locally and around the world — working with individuals and organizations in person, virtually, and through travel to wherever the work takes them.
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 / DANCE / 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.
​
Dance is an integral part of our offering. Since ancient times, people have danced to heal, celebrate and connect. Dance brings us home to our bodies, and back to each other.
​
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.
​​
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.
