THE FACILITATORS

PETER

was born on Christmas Eve 1971 in Bavaria, southern Germany. Curiosity has always been his strongest drive — as a child he wanted always to know what lay beyond the next hill, and later he asked the bigger questions: What is the universe? What is the purpose of life?

At age twenty, this curiosity turned into a passion for travel and adventure, which eventually led him to Latin America. Since 1998, he has lived in Vilcabamba, known as the Valley of Longevity, where together with his brother he created Izhcayluma Eco-Resort.

For many years he was fully absorbed in life itself — the bigger questions faded into the background, overshadowed by work and new experiences. Only later, after fulfilling all his earthly dreams, did he realize there was still something missing — a hole that neither material things nor adventures could fill. At 38, he turned back to the existential questions that had always been with him.

For thirteen years, he searched through traditions, teachings, and practices across the world, until finally the search itself dissolved in the realization of his true nature. Through this journey, he came to see that the underlying truth of many traditions — Tao, Kashmir Shaivism, Mahayana Buddhism, Sufism, Christian Mysticism, Shamanism, and even modern science — is the same. Beyond the limits of perception and the mind’s interpretations lies what remains unseen and little understood: the singularity of being — non-duality, not as an idea, but as reality itself.

From this recognition, Almas Curiosas was born. His motivation is simple: to create a space free from dogma, where science and spirituality meet in clarity. A place not to escape life, but to rest, look deeply, and rediscover oneself. The time to awaken to your innermost self is now — for all of us.
