CARMEN MARISCAL
​
founder of Arkesoul (2010), in all the creative spaces of my life, teaching and honoring the possibility of learning has been my choice and purpose. In the different areas of my professional history, as a consultant at ArkéNetwork and Tooriginal Solutions (2016 National Technology Award) and as an academic (ITAM, CIDE), I have always been guided by the certainty that without teaching others to experience the wonder that is learning, no creative act is possible, and all forms of rethinking the world and who we are cease. From my training in Economics and Public Policy (ITAM), the multidimensionality and complexity present in every exercise of my professional life when trying to respond to the questions of value generation, collective transformation, definition of systems that align human behavior towards cooperation, and the definition of strategic routes that integrate efficiency and ethics, confirmed to me that we had to learn to create new forms of thought. That without choosing to assume that complexity and not approaching it from a partial, fragmented, or pragmatic vision, any answer ends up being inefficient, inoperative, and most importantly useless in its transformative capacity.
​
My encounter with nonlinear and integral thinking and the sciences of complexity forced me to make a first epistemic revolution that completely dismantled the structures from which I conceived the world, its relationships, and the human. I learned that the only way for individual or collective transformation to occur is if we remove the lenses that prevent us from seeing reality as it is, multidimensional, complex, evolutionary, and spectral. From there, I began the journey that would lead me to found Arkesoul and create a consciousness model in which every life counts in the purpose of creating the great mantle of the human, where there are no boundaries marked by approaches to work on the person/interior/relationships or those that bet on helping us in our creative or professional life.
FERNANDO J. VILLALOVS
​
came bringing his training in Philosophy and Psychology (Fordham University) and his work in academia (Universidad Iberoamericana). Arkesoul has a vocation for the other, the different, the one that does not operate from hierarchy and meritocracy, and that was the element that ended up being an impassable invitation for Fernando when choosing to be part of this project, finding a space, his home, where the pursuit of knowledge would be a creative and meaningful act in itself. In his role as mentor to a next generation of team members, he has witnessed his love for knowledge as it allows us to be with others in the possibility of transformation. Our youngest and most senior member, as part of Arkesoul since 2019, has been an inspiration and hope for the project. With him, I was finally certain that our model would be an open and evolving school of thought. Fernando is our trainer of analytical minds that create integral thought, in every process we carry out, his ability to guide others allows for the constant evolution of our model and the way in which it can be taught.
