ABOUT ME

Mindfulness Teacher | Somatic Therapy | Ceremonialist | Grief and End of Life Accompaniment

BACKGROUND

Gris Alves is a trauma-informed healing guide, Earth-based ceremonialist, and Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner with over 30 years of experience in addiction recovery, grief work, and ancestral healing. A revolutionary Mexican immigrant woman, Gris walks the path of resilience, truth, and love—offering embodied wisdom rooted in lived experience and deep spiritual practice.

After beginning her own recovery journey at age 25, she has since become a trusted guide for others navigating the emotional roots of pain, addiction, and disconnection. Gris teaches that addiction is not a disease, but a response to unresolved trauma, grief, and unmet emotional needs—and her work compassionately supports people in reconnecting to themselves with presence and self-love.

Music is also central to her path. As a singer and composer of ceremonial music, Gris integrates voice, sound, and vibration as medicine—drawing on her training in sound meditation as well as her own compositions. She is a member of the healing ensemble Las Amanitas del Norte and is currently working on her first album of original ceremonial songs. Her voice—both literal and metaphorical—carries stories of remembrance, belonging, and freedom.

She is the founder of AWARE, a mindfulness teaching organization; host of the bilingual Tales of Recovery podcast; a volunteer with the Prison Yoga Project; and an advocate for practices of decolonization and collective healing.

Credentials: Gris is a certified yoga teacher, trained in Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry Therapy, the Alexandre Tannous Sound Meditation Method, and as a thanatologist.
