Psychologist – Integrative Humanistic Relational Psychotherapist with a Trauma-Oriented Approach
Co-director of Centro de Psicología Althea since 2009. www.centropsicologiaalthea.es
Founder of the Caleidoscopio Project for Theatre, Therapy, and Trauma since 2020. I currently combine my work as an individual and group psychotherapist at Centro de Psicología Althea with directing the Caleidoscopio Project, an experiential laboratory for trauma treatment through therapeutic theatre.
I am developing an innovative methodology that integrates the "Rainbow of Desire" technique from Theatre of the Oppressed with Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model.
This approach offers a holistic and systemic therapeutic intervention, recognizing the interrelation between human beings and the world. Its purpose is to contribute to the ongoing study and healing of collective trauma.
Ecopsychologist, Integral Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Anthropologist, and creator of the Koru Model and the Ecodance Specialization. Co-founder of Koru Transformación and the Institute of Ecopsychology Chile-Colombia, a platform dedicated to training in Ecopsychology and eco-psychosocial regeneration, alongside Claudio Pereira.
Currently serving as President of the International Ecopsychology Society (IES), she promotes research, dissemination, and teaching of Ecopsychology at a global level. Her work integrates nature, body, movement, and healing, exploring the psychoterratic body as a bridge between the human psyche and the Earth's psyche. Through Ecodance, she merges body techniques, ancestral wisdom, and ecosystemic rituals to awaken the awareness of being nature.
Certified in various ecopsychological and regenerative methods, including Primal Dance (EPTI), Ecotuner (Applied Ecopsychology for Ecosynchronization), Biodanza SRT, Theory U, Dragon Dreaming, and Sociocracy, as well as other body-based and emotional approaches.
Co-creator of the Koru Method, a model for individual and collective design and facilitation based on the triple spiral of transformation (individual, collective, and ecosystemic). This method serves as a roadmap guiding profound and integral transformation experiences. Through its structure, it navigates different dimensions—from unity, senses, mind, and emotions to the body, relationships, and ecology—facilitating regenerative processes in connection with nature and human potential.

She is the author of Raising Children in the Midst of Global Crisis: A Compassionate Guidebook for New Paradigm Parenting. Since 2020, Jo has led dozens of parents from around the world through her signature group program: Parenting in Tumultuous Times – a practical, engaging and supportive experience for parents yearning to do right by their kids and the Earth in these times of converging global crises.

Andrea Eguren is an anthropologist, art therapist, and creator of Basque origin, currently based in the Canary Islands. Her work lies at the intersection of deep ecology, creative exploration, and the facilitation of individual and group processes. Since childhood, she has cultivated an intimate relationship with nature, which has deeply influenced her ritualistic and animist approach. With a diverse background in symbolic anthropology, art, and ecological philosophies, she has forged a path where dialogue with natural elements and connection with the more-than-human world are fundamental.
Five years ago, Andrea founded Arte Basal, an interdisciplinary creative exploration initiative rooted in deep connection with nature. Through immersive gatherings in diverse landscapes across Spain, the Canary Islands, Santa Fe, and the Argentine Patagonia, Arte Basal has grown into a unique experience of communal living and co-creation, where perception, deep listening, and artistic expression intertwine. Inspired by authors such as Joanna Macy, Bayo Akomolafe, Pat MacCabe, Malidoma and Sobonfú Somé, and David Abram, among others, her work seeks to reawaken sensitivity and interdependent awareness, inviting participants to recognize their belonging to the web of life. Through poetry, ritual, and contemplation, Andrea facilitates experiences that remind us of who we are and open us to a more intimate and creative relationship with the world.
