Dear friends,

I hope this letter finds you well wherever you are.

It has been a while since I temporarily retired from my traditional workshops and public presentations, staying away from the public eye. The reason for my temporary disappearance has been the need to invest most of my time and energy on projects that I consider essential for the present and the future of all of us.

Now I would like to share with you and all those interested in human development, the progress we have made and the new opportunities available for your development.

These projects fall into three main areas:

1. Development of the New AVP Internet Platform for Online Contents and Services

One of the goals of this internet platform is to facilitate and increase the access of people across the world, to services and contents which so far have been limited only to those enrolling in my traditional workshops. Another important goal here is to use the internet to create a community and to keep in touch and sharing about the topics that are important to all of us.

In this platform you will find on-line services in real time such as theme specific chat rooms and and downloadable text, audio or video programs, which will support your transformational process both in your everyday city life and during special periods of outdoor practices amongst nature.

2. Completion of the Fire Books Trilogy

This trilogy is a work in progress consisting of three volumes that will present:  1. The Foundations, 2. The Practices and 3. The Messages; all of them collected over a lifetime of research, about the essence of the spirituality without dogma and based on experience rather than faith, which I have found and developed out of my experiences with indigenous communities from Mexico.

This powerful spirituality that does not require intermediaries arises from the communion with the forces of nature; allowing us to perceive the non-ordinary reality and enter into states of heightened awareness.  As a result of this, it provides the necessary complement to prevent the self-destructive potential of human reason.

Given the limited reach of spreading this message through workshops that are not available to everyone, it is my intention to publish this three books series, to make the message available to a much larger audience.

These books will include the most important topics that I have presented in my previous books and workshops, together with others of equal or greater importance that I have not disclosed before.

I have the feeling that this will probably become the most important contribution that I will ever make for the evolution of the human being both at the personal and global level.

3. The Homo Sapiens-Sapiens Project

This project aims to contribute to the conversation about the need to think of our present and future, not only as individuals or even as citizens of a particular country, but rather as members of a planetary species that only through a global approach and global goals, will be able to overcome the dangerous challenges that hurt our life quality and threaten our survival. We should become aware that in a global perspective the challenges and needs of all people around the world are and should be considered as important as our own.

The title of the project aims to suggest that despite the fact that the official name of our species is "homo sapiens-sapiens" (wise-wise man) we are really not that wise and really not that evolved, but rather primitive in many of the ways we deal with ourselves, with each other and with the environment.

The evolution of the human species is still a work in progress that will not move on to the next stage without our deliberated participation.

Even though my involvement with this projects may look like a my work is changing, I want to say that rather than substituting my traditional line of work, what I feel is that these projects will bring my workshops, books and personal services to a whole new level and will grow side by side with them.

Another important factor is that naturally these projects need funding and since all my research and work has always developed independently and without government or private institutions support, we are looking for new ways of funding, such as our new digital store and the fundraising through memberships.

As part of these projects, we have new services, digital contents and workshops already available.

To know the specifics about all this, I invite you to visit the following page in which you will quickly find links to all the new content that we have:

Finally, since there is so much information to have it all in a single email, in the months to come we will be sending you some topic specific emails with information about the projects and the new opportunities available for your development.

For the moment I say good bye hoping that some of our new contents match with your personal development needs and you find them enjoyable.

Wishing you the best
