Nuestra Casa Es Su Casa.
Forest Lighthouse began as a dream—one born from a longing to create a space for humanity and connection. Nikos, from the windswept coasts of Denmark, and Betzabel, from the vibrant heart of Mexico, crossed paths in India. Their passion for the arts, research, and culture sparked a vision: to create a place where people could rediscover themselves through movement, awareness, and community.
We see the centre as a living, extended family—a constellation of people helping one another grow. Like a garden, it thrives because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
In challenging or uncertain times—or even in moments of curiosity—the Lighthouse offers a gentle, welcoming space of lightness. In times of seeking new paths, it becomes a place to celebrate learning, discovery, and togetherness—a beacon shining brightly on new ideas and forgotten wisdom. Here, you can pause, reorient, and explore new horizons. You may even come home to yourself in ways you didn’t expect.
Awaken the body’s wisdom. Learn together. Live more fully.
Nothing meaningful is ever built alone.

Our Roots
Diversity - of people, cultures, and movement - is the fertile soil life needs to thrive. When our learning mirrors nature, it becomes adaptive, rich with perspectives, and full of surprises.
Three principles nourish all that we do:
-
Curiosity
Because every meaningful connection starts with “Why?”
-
Cultivation
Growth happens when we nurture it and create the right conditions.
-
Community
We always learn better with and from one another.
Making learning meaningful and embodied
We believe that education should be pleasurable, embodied, and deeply human. It’s an embodied journey toward transformation, wholeness, and meaningful connection with yourself and others.
