About me

Irene Goikolea has been working for more than 25 years toward the awakening of consciousness, facilitating individual and group processes of personal growth and development. Her experience in this field goes back to the circles of women she organized at the beginning of the 90’s with the intention of awakening to the sacred feminine aspect. The qualities of the sacred feminine aspect are interrelationship, the collective, integration, unity, care for the other, healing, nurturance, compassionate action and sentient capacity. Irene’s work focuses on cultivating these qualities, necessary for embracing and integrating our excluded parts, or “shadow”.
The impact of this work on the development of a collective paradigm, aimed at awakening the culture of the “we”, over the culture of the “I”, led her to inspire the materialization of the Amalurra project, which manifested in three intentional communities, situated in the Basque Country, Andalusia and Catalonia (Spain). The Amalurra community project in the Basque Country is a benchmark among Europe’s most established communities for its 25 years of existence. She was member of the GEN Europe council from July 2017 until July 2019.
