My name is Sergio Nikita Lialin. Through Re-Vision Coaching, I accompany people exploring personal transformation, relationships, spiritual awakening, and the integration of significant life experiences.
My work brings together contemporary approaches to understanding human behavior, attention to the body, and teachings received through years of participation, assistance, and apprenticeship within living ceremonial traditions.
At the heart of this work is an invitation: You’re not broken. You’re remembering.
We begin with curiosity about your experience—what you long for, what has shaped you, and what the patterns you struggle with may have been trying to protect.
From that understanding, we explore how you might move through life with greater freedom, connection, and choice.
How This Approach Took Shape
My fascination with human behavior has led me through psychology classes, experiential study, and training in several approaches to personal change. Alongside that learning, I spent approximately a decade traveling to observe, listen, and participate in healing ceremonies. In some settings, my involvement deepened into assistance, guiding, and apprenticeship.
These experiences included ceremonial training and assistance in Brazil and Costa Rica, work as an assistant and guide in Peru’s Sacred Valley, and study of Amazonian plant medicine traditions at Centro Takiwasi in Tarapoto and Mayantuyacu near Pucallpa.
Further learning took me to an apprenticeship with an ayahuasquero in Panama, ancestral ceremonial training in Colombia, and repeated periods of study and participation in Mazatec traditions in Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Earlier studies with Dr. Tom Pinkson explored shamanic practices and Huichol traditions. I also completed a two-year mentorship with Angeles Arrien in 2010. These teachers and experiences helped shape my appreciation for ritual, relationship, listening, and the responsibilities involved in accompanying another person.
I remain grateful to the people and communities who welcomed me. What I offer today is informed by those encounters, with respect for the distinct traditions from which they came.
Understanding Patterns, Listening to the Body
In 2013, I graduated from Masters, the third level of Marin NLP’s training, completing its Master Practitioner program. That study deepened my exploration of language, perception, and the often unconscious patterns through which we organize our experience.In practice, this means listening closely to how you describe your world. We may explore a belief that feels unquestionable, a response that keeps recurring, or a conflict between something you consciously want and another part of you that hesitates. My continuing study through online Internal Family Systems courses informs this attention to parts: the different feelings, needs, and protective responses that can coexist within one person.
My earlier training at Diamond Light School of Massage and Healing Arts, where I completed a 100-hour massage therapy program in 2001, brought another dimension to this understanding. The body participates in our experience. Breath, tension, posture, movement, and sensation can all become part of what we notice together.
When bodywork is appropriate and agreed upon, it may also be included.
These influences support a way of working that respects your pace, welcomes curiosity, and makes room for what is still difficult to put into words.
What Working Together Looks Like
For people entering my five-week retreat process, our work begins well before the retreat itself. An intake form invites reflection on your history, current circumstances, physical and emotional practices, and reasons for seeking this experience. We then meet for a 90-minute intake session to explore what matters most and begin identifying the themes asking for attention.
In our intention session, we shape one to three intentions for the retreat. This is a process of listening and clarification. What are you ready to understand? Where do you feel caught? What would you like to meet differently within yourself or your relationships?
Preparation also includes making space in daily life: reducing distractions, attending to rest, and approaching the experience with greater deliberateness.
The Day-Long Visioning Retreat begins with an opening ritual, conversation, and a review of our agreements. Throughout the day, I attend to your wellbeing and support the unfolding of your experience. Music, silence, sound, and—with your consent—bodywork may be part of that support. Important reflections can be noted so that we can return to them afterward.
The following weeks are devoted to themes and integration. In two 90-minute sessions, we revisit what emerged, allow meaning to develop, and explore what you want to do with what you have discovered.
That may involve a conversation you have been avoiding, a boundary you are ready to recognize, a practice you want to establish, or a different way of responding when an old fear appears. Some people continue meeting with me beyond the initial five weeks, giving these changes ongoing attention and support.
Music as a Continuing Thread
Music is woven through my work and my life. Singing bowls, musical instruments, tuning forks, and voice offer ways to explore presence, listening, and expression.
The songs I release as Sergio Lialin also carry teachings, experiences, and reflections gathered along this path. My first album, Siempre, Mi Amor, was remastered and re-released in 2016. My second album, Encantando, was released in 2016. Both are available on streaming platforms.
The music and my book, Healing the Modern Soul, grow from the same ongoing inquiry: how we bring greater awareness, love, and sacredness into the lives we are already living.

Bringing the Experience Home
Throughout this work, I return to a practical question: What becomes possible in your everyday life?
An experience may reveal something meaningful. Integration gives that understanding a place in your choices, relationships, and actions. It asks how you care for yourself when vulnerability returns, how you respond in a difficult moment, and how you practice what you have begun to recognize.My role is to accompany that process with careful listening, thoughtful questions, and respect for your capacity to find your own way forward.
