I'm Yan, Gaia Education's Online Courses Coordinator.

I love writing, climbing, practicing Yoga, and exploring sustainable ways of being on this beautiful planet.

Studying engineering in university, brought me more and more awareness of the importance of one's inner connection with the heart (as I felt very disconnected from it, struggling to accomplish external needs). 

I've been passionate about transformative education for many years now. Since I crossed paths with the Ecovillage Movement and all its inspirations and surroundings I've been exploring and diving into all the possibilities of integral learning/unlearning.

I live in Brazil and part of my journey has been integrating all this learning into the communities I'm part of and supporting the emerging of the world my heart knows it's possible.
