Mindful Rebel Talks: Medellín Travel Meets Spiritual Growth

  • 🧘‍♀️ Spiritual growth in Medellín: 11 TED-style talks on personal transformation

  • 🌍 Designed for expats & locals: bilingual event for conscious travel seekers

  • 🎟️ Secure your spot: limited tickets, June 19 at Humanese

If you didn’t move to Medellín just to party or swipe through another weekend, there’s an event coming up that’s actually worth your time. It’s called MINDFUL REBEL TALKS Edition 2. It's on June 19th from 6PM-9PM at Humanese (GOOGLE MAP)

11 speakers. TED-style talks. A mix of Spanish and English. The kind of energy you don’t find in a typical meetup or mastermind.

The theme: “Igniting Personal Transformation Through Conscious Evolution.”

Even if that line sounds like a pitch from a wellness retreat, this isn’t about selling crystals or positive vibes. It’s a curated, intentional space for people who care about the quality of their thoughts, their choices, and the way they show up in the world.

Here’s why it stands out:
  • 6 talks in Spanish, 5 in English. You’ll get value whether you’re a fluent local or a gringo still learning how to order lunch.

  • The talks are CAREFULLY chosen, not random. No ego-fueled lectures or tired sales pitches.

  • The format is tight. No fluff. Each speaker brings something personal, reflective, and useful.

  • It’s hosted at Humanese. Quiet, clean, focused. The space is created for depth. There'll be a physical (yogic) warm up and a meditation to get you in the tight frame of mind, and enjoy the beautiful space.

This is the second edition. The first one drew a community that actually stuck around. People made real friendships. Some found creative partners. Others finally said something out loud they’d been holding for years.

The people behind it matter. A lot.

The two putting this event on are fabulous people and very focused on spiritual growth. I've met both and they are both looking for something different to give to the city of Medellin and those that live here. They represent an incredible cross section of the city, one being a foreigner choosing to live in this beautiful city, and one local. Working together gives them an incredible insight to the future of the city and what Medellin CAN be.

Roop Singh is the founder of MINDFUL REBEL Talks. He’s not another guy throwing around buzzwords, he's a 2 time Tedx speaker so public speaking is a passion for him. His background is in systems design and blockchain, but he shifted gears toward storytelling and transformation after seeing how disconnected most of us are from ourselves and each other. He’s lived the questions he now helps others explore. His work is about making complex ideas human, not just smart. He's also launching a new podcast called "Journey Of A Mindul Rebel". You can check him out at roopsingh.carrd.co.

Keren Amaya, the co-host, brings a completely different kind of power and vibe. She runs the “It’s Keren with an E” (make sure you get that right, she's serious about it 😉) talk series, where people speak from their soul. Her gift is helping others drop the script and say what they actually feel. She’s got an edge, but also her empathy is where she shines.. She’s not afraid to get uncomfortable, and that makes her rare in a city where social scenes often stay surface-level. See more of her work at @itskerenwithane_talks.

This isn’t your typical Medellín event.

You won’t hear startup pitches. Nobody will try to sell you a funnel, a mastermind, or a green juice cleanse. This is about reflection. Community. Depth. Actual change. If you’ve been craving something smarter, slower, and more human, this is it.

Tickets are limited. Here's how it breaks down:

Final thought

Many foreigners who come to Medellín say they’re looking for something. A shift. A fresh start. A new way to live. But not everyone is willing to show up to the kinds of spaces that make that possible. This is one of those spaces.

Wellness events are becoming more accepted in Medellin, and to be honest, I'm all for it. I love to participate in these events and I'm all for more of them. I look forward to seeing you all there!
