Visiting the Galápagos Islands is like stepping into a living museum of natural history. The islands are renowned for their diverse ecosystems and endemic species, many of which can’t be found anywhere else in the world. This extraordinary biodiversity inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. Beyond the rich wildlife, the islands boast stunning volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters, making it a dream destination for travelers looking to connect with nature.
Picture yourself meditating next to a serene giant tortoise, practicing mindfulness and somatic movements at sunset on a pristine beach as birds dance in the sky above. Engage in mindfulness and emotional self-regulation while admiring the magnificent giant tortoises in their natural splendor. Savor every moment with a cup of exquisite Galapagos Coffee, fully immersing yourself in this unique and transformative experience.

Belén Carpio has specialized in several areas to be able to help people develop their soft skills. She began her career studying psychology and education and was a teacher for several years. Then she wanted to go deeper into supporting people so she prepared herself with master trainers to be able to teach people soft skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and leadership, among others.
She recently finished an international certification in Family Constellations to work with family patterns.
Belen is a transformational Trainer, Coach, and Constellator, and she is the co-creator of SER Abundante. She was co-founder of the SER Leadership Training and is a trainer of this four-month program, where she supports people to develop soft skills, learn personal growth and leadership tools to find opportunities, and go to the next level in their lives.
After years of not feeling good enough due to bullying and criticism while growing up, not knowing how to cope with not so positive emotions, Cristina decided that the safest way to cope with that was not shining, and she thought that she had to get away from everything. As a result, she moved to a new country and ended up in a situation, where she kept repeating the same situations and patterns, feeling the same void. She was able to get out of that situation, investing in her wellbeing, releasing those past wounds, learning how to master emotions and connecting with her power, to feel confident, and worthy, and manifest what she truly wanted in her life.
Cristina is an empathic guide, certified in Goal Success, Confidence, and Life Coaching, she specializes in Emotional Freedom Techniques, and is ready to support other women in their journeys of empowerment and joy.
