Our Story
Born from a vision
of a truly healthy world.
How We Began
A gathering place for all evolving beings.
The Estrella Institute, non-profit, was born from a simple belief: every being carries within them an extraordinary capacity for intuition, healing, and conscious evolution. As the great Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith often states, " we are living in the most connected yet disconnected world" meaning of course our attention is often hijacked away from what is most important and best for us. Through our practices and devotion, we can each be a universal presence for good on this planet, the choice is ours.
What began as response to the suffering of many loved ones, healed by intimate HeartVision workshops, grew into a desire to expand community from beyond just seekers and visionaries into a collective to support one another on the largest scale possible - united by a shared love of health, connection, and the exploration of what's possible.
We are not a doctrine. We are a community committed to waking up, growing up, and showing up — with curiosity, with heart, with whole health and with a whole lot of joy and love. May all beings experience health, peace, love and joy.
"To support the healing and expansion of humanity — through intuition, HeartVision, joyful community, and the art of regenerative living."
Our Mission
What Guides Us
Our Core Values
Heart Intelligence
We believe the heart is a profound source of wisdom. Our work centers on developing HeartVision — the capacity to perceive, feel, and act from the deepest intelligence within.
Conscious Evolution
Humanity is in a pivotal moment of transformation. We are committed to supporting the conscious evolution of individuals and communities as part of the larger unfolding of life. We support the mental wellness, health and longevity of all beings.
Regenerative Living
True healing includes our relationship with the Earth and each other. We explore and embody, to the best of our abilities, practices that restore balance between human beings and the living systems that sustain us.
Inclusive Community
Every soul has a place here. We welcome seekers, creatives, families, children, and elders — all backgrounds, all paths — united by a shared devotion to love, health, growth and connection.
Intuitive Awakening
Intuition is not a gift for the few — it is a birthright of every human being. Our programs are designed to awaken, strengthen, and trust the inner knowing that lives in each of us.
Service & Expansion
We are here not only for ourselves but for the whole. Every act of personal healing and support ripples outward. We are devoted to the healing and expansion of all beings as a collective.
"You are not here to fit into the world as it is. You are here to help birth the world as it could be."
