AboutI'm Alma, Contemplative Artist, certified teacher of Meditation and the Cultivating Emotional Balance program. I'm formally trained as a Visual Artist, Architect, Meditation Teacher, Yoga Instructor, CEB Teacher and have a Masters degree in Psychology with a certification on Educational psychology. I also studied Meditation and Buddhist philosophy for several years and done several retreats in the traditions of Tibetan, Theravada, and Zen Buddhism.
I'm the founder of Peace & Mind where I empower people to reach self-realization through their individual creative process and meditation practice. I motivate people who want to know their mind, transform negative habits into positive ones, have greater emotional and cognitive balance, found tools to better manage their time and their goals, develop their creativity and apply it to live a meaningful life. I share emotional balance and mental training methods that come from both the Western Psychology and Eastern Contemplative Traditions. |

Contemplative Artist
My artwork has influence from Eastern contemplative traditions where art was closely linked to the spiritual quest for understanding consciousness and developing a deeper wisdom as embodied through forms such as Zen calligraphy and Sumi-e, which emphasized painting with mindfulness, concentration and presence.
