Thank you for RSVPing for 1heart's all-alumni virtual Connection.
Here's what's on the schedule for September's Community Connection

- Intimate conversations with another epic alumnus within two prompt-driven breakout rooms
- Group shares about what you learned or expressed within your breakout rooms
- Live music from a 1heart team member
- Updates from 1heart's CEO & team about what's coming next
- Plus other surprises!
"I entered the retreat not knowing anyone and left feeling like I had made life-long friends and a community that will elevate me in infinite ways."
1heart is far more than a retreat.
Our Journey Beyond experience is an 8-week Life Elevaton program with an all-inclusive Ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, 2 weeks of pioneering virtual preparation, 5 weeks of virtual integration masterclasses, and a heart-centered lifetime community 1,000 strong.
"This is the most incredible community experience that an individual can undergo in their entire life…"

Brandon Evans
Founder & CEO of 1heart
About Brandon, Your Host
Brandon is the Founder and Chief Elevation Officer of 1heart. Before 1heart, his path of building large tech companies in New York led him to financial success but lacked greater meaning, fulfillment, and joy. When his article “Lost on Purpose” unexpectedly went viral, Brandon was called to serve all those with similar stories reaching out for support. Brandon founded 1heart to create new paths for leaders seeking more fulfilling and purpose-driven lives. By elevating the consciousness of powerful leaders, their contributions create greater positive impact, harmony, and balance in the world. In its 6th year, 1heart's 8-week Living Beyond Program, which includes a 1-week retreat with ayahuasca in Costa Rica, has served nearly 1,000 leaders. 1heart is known for its deeply integrated and holistic offering and inspiring community. 1heart combines top facilitators across modern and ancient modalities to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being via a highly curated, best-in-class program. Brandon lives in Costa Rica with his wife Jeanette and their recently born daughter Spirit. Individually and together, they lead retreats and create experiences that support others in creating lives fully aligned with their soul's calling. |

Christian Alfaro
Marketing Director at 1heart
About Christian, Your Co-Host
Christian began his Journey with 1heart on J13 when he came as a guest. At the time, he was co-leading the marketing departments of Gwella and Mojo, two Canadian-based psychedelic startups. All the while, he was feeling terribly alone and exhausted on his path of self-awareness, success, and faith. During his second ceremony, he received a crystal clear feeling that the work being done at 1heart was the work he was meant to support. It was the easiest yes he never had to say yes to. He watched himself and his newfound family forgive, fall in love, and feel a sense of belonging within themselves & a community they never knew existed. As the story goes, he became a volunteer in July of 2022, officially joined the team in March of 2023, and is currently the Marketing Director. His position extends well beyond marketing with 1heart. He supports business development, community building, Journey operations & logistics, facilitates calls & workshops, holds space in ceremonies, and occasionally sings a song or three. As they tend to say, Christian came in as a boy and quickly became a man. Outside of 1heart, Christian consults with other heart-centered organizations & retreat centers that share the vision of leaving people, places, and things more beautifully than they found them. |

Camila Cordero
Journeys & Operations Director at 1heart
About Camila, The In-House Angel
Growing up in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, Camila was exposed to the wonders and gifts of our loving mother Earth as well and knew from a very young age she wanted to help people around the world experience this bliss as well and remember how much love and grace we can all experience just from a gentle breeze. Her path to align her reality to her true calling has been, as it always is, not straight but a wonderful, rocky, and surprising road. She spent 15 years working in Human Resources for large corporations which provided her with experience in people and talent development, organizational climate change, team relationships, and leadership counseling, but her thirst to contribute to people’s healing, as well as the world’s healing and her own, kept growing as the sense of accomplishment in that sense felt far away. She decided to get her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and lead the Wellness initiative at her workplace (Mondelez International Service Center in Costa Rica) but it was only when she surrendered to life’s calling, resigned to her work stability to follow her passion that things started to fall into place. She has followed her dream along with her business and life partner, Pablo, through Costa Rica’s beautiful coastal towns since 2019 (Hermosa Beach, Nosara, and Playa Grande) as entrepreneurs, which allowed her to cross paths with 1heart and finally join an organization in which purpose. |
