A separate project
The Oasis — becomephoenix.com
The Oasis is the commercial project that shares this valley. It lives on its own site — this one belongs to the foundation and to donations only.
The faces of the Foundation
They carry the Foundation
For more than two years, they have made the Phoenix Initiative Colombia Foundation shine around the world.
María Paula
Ambassador, Ecological Restoration pillar
“For me, sustainability is not just about caring for nature; it is about learning to live with greater awareness and giving back a little of everything nature gives us. At Phoenix, I want every action to have a purpose: to respect the environment, protect what surrounds us and create a way of growing that also cares for the land — because transforming ourselves also means learning to care for the place that makes our lives possible.”
Danny
Ambassador, Art, Culture & Education pillar
“Representing the Foundation confirmed to me that art and culture are social architecture. Training strengthens the physical temple, but culture builds the spirit. Whoever walks through the doors of the Oasis will not only train her body: she will carry away the voice, the dignity and the healing power of our story; every discipline cultivated is a shield against violence and a tribute to our roots, a peace born in the heart of Colombia.”
Karol
Ambassador, Media & Outreach pillar
“Being part of the Phoenix Foundation has taught me to transform the way people observe, understand and relate to their surroundings. Through stories, encounters, content and spaces for dialogue, this pillar turns communication into a tool for making realities visible, awakening empathy and generating collective action. More than communicating what we do, we seek to raise awareness of why we do it and how each person can become part of the transformation.”
Mariana
Ambassador, Well-being & Healthy Living pillar
“For me, well-being is not just about exercising or eating well; it is about learning to listen to my body and giving it the space it needs to heal and grow. At Phoenix, I want every habit to have a purpose: to move with intention, nourish myself with awareness and find calm in the midst of the nature that surrounds us. Because transforming ourselves also means learning to care for ourselves, as much as we care for the place that sustains us.”
