Who is Rodolfo?
Rodolfo Young – the Authenticity Muse
“I am that, which this moment calls forth as my expression.”
Recognized internationally as a teacher, speaker, and healer, Rodolfo has shared the same stage as Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and other great consciousness leaders.
Rodolfo grew up in San Diego, California where after attending his first 10-day silent course of Vipassana meditation, was inspired to begin teaching.
In San Diego, Rodolfo founded The Center for Connection, a non-profit organization dedicated to the values of presence, trust, and altruism. He has since taken those same principles and carried them into communities worldwide.
In 2008, he took off on a 9-month journey around the globe that landed him in Bali where he continues his work of connecting community, holding space for authentic expression, and giving heart felt hugs. He has over 10 years of experience practicing and teaching these techniques, and has helped hundreds to manifest their deepest desires for joy.
It would be easy to define Rodolfo by the roles that he might play as a teacher or as a healer, but who we truly are, is the essence between those roles and identities. And in this way, Rodolfo is an expert at holding space for the authentic expression of who you are, inside or outside your roles.
Currently, Rodolfo is creating online platforms to accelerate the connection of conscious communities and facilitators. His projects can be seen here – Integrated Potential
Rodolfo was born in Mexico City, and moved to the United States at a very young age. He grew up in San Diego, California and coming out of high school as one of the top of his class he made an interesting choice…and signed an 8-year contract with the US Military as a Special Operations Army Reserve Soldier. He was deployed to different parts of the world, including Iraq, and got to see firsthand what separation consciousness can do to our world.
In 1999, he attended his first 10 day silent course of Vipassana Meditation. The clarity, insights, and messages he recieved from that experience inspired him to begin teaching.
At the age of 19, he became the first undergraduate at San Diego State University granted his own classroom. For an entire year he taught spiritual philosophy there and touched the lives of hundreds of students.
From there he began teaching and practicing bodywork and energywork at a long-standing Holistic School in San Diego, and eventually…
In 2007, he opened The Center for Connection, a non-profit organization dedicated to the values of presence, trust, and altruism. His Center quickly expanded to serving a membership of more than a 1,000 within a few short months. For two years, he continued to build the Center, during which time…
- He became a recognized leader in the San Diego spiritual community
- He taught “The Power of Now” based on the best selling book by Eckhart Tolle for the Learning Annex and wrote an approved supplemental to Eckhart’s book called, “A Droplet’s View” under his alias name of Darshana Atman.
- He became a Master Architect and Teacher for the self-centered Tour, a meditation inspired revolution for conscious entrepreneurs, founded by Max Simon, formerly of the Chopra Center.
- He was invited to speak and hold workshops at the World Wellness Weekend in Albuquerque alongside prominent speakers Marrianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, and John Gray.
Then, at the height of his success….it all came crashing down and he realized something major was missing.
He had a deep sense of doubt within him that maybe he wasn’t being fully true to himself and others.
He knew he was hiding parts of himself that kept his ego safe and his self-image secure.
It was time to completely express his vulnerably Authentic Self and feel supported in his fullness.
And he was hungry to connect with others deeply, while feeling grounded and nourished within his own being.
So, in 2008, realizing that his time and energy was being used more to maintain the business of holistics, rather than practicing it, he closed his Center in San Diego, and took off on a 9-month journey around the globe to learn from indigenous healers and wisdom keepers, and to rediscover a connection to himself. His journey took him around the world, back to San Diego, and finally to Bali, Indonesia, where he now resides.
As of today, Rodolfo has:
- Touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people from all around the world
- Led a meditation for an event of over 20,000 participants, bringing them all together in stillness
- Shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest leaders in transformational consciousness
- Grown and transformed through utterly open and loving relationships
- Authored two books on Love, Life, and Beauty: “The Song of an Empty Mind” and “ A Droplet’s View“
- Created the life of his dreams – living in Bali, traveling the world, and holding people in their brilliance.
- And most importantly, he has come to realize how amazingly Inspirational and Beautiful he can be…when he is just Authentic & Vulnerable.
