“When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system.”
Ilya Prigogine
– I'm honoured by your presence here. – she said, one day. – So we can be a bridge to this moment Here and Now.

Throughout this lifetime Patricia is deeply connected to artistic expressions. Able to translate the energy in several ways for the collective and where her journey has transformed many times, through death-rebirth alchemised experiences.
Dedicating a lifetime to design & photography for +20 years, she unfolded other expressions with visual arts, writing embodiments, touch connection, bodywork /massage practices, and also by dedicating to the eternal Movement (once forgotten), through Research and beneath the skin of the Performing Arts quest.​​​​​​​
– I'm grateful for all my un-learners, teachers, reflections, for being part of this school of life. – I reclaim my light."


– It's intuitive for me to see the potential and divine in you...
– ... I Am. You Are. – In resonance we replied.

Deep from a heart expansion, Patrícia also facilitates the reconnection of the human being back to its essence,
the heart...
"So I include in my practices from artistic activations to self awareness foundations. Mainly using hands, touch, movement, writing, improvisation, dance and sound activations, self awareness, sense of love and gratitude. Sometimes a sprinkle of contrast and a seed of humor"
