Vianney Bringas has wandered a unique path to her calling as Resident Crystal Metaphysician of Instituto Xilonen. After being raised in Mexico City, she received an advanced degree from the Stern School of Business at New York University. She worked for many years in the financial industry, for both Credit Suisse and Citigroup. After the worldwide financial crash in 2008, Vianney decided to pursue spiritual and metaphysical studies, in which she had an interest since childhood after being introduced to these pursuits by her mother, a psychologist.

She undertook an extended journey through India and the Himalayas, staying and studying at ashrams along her way. She completed hundreds of hours of training in both Ashtanga and Hatha yoga, as well as Reiki and energy work. Upon her eventual return to New York, she was instrumental in helping launch Instituto Xilonen New York.

From the time the Crystals arrive at Instituto Xilonen, Vianney is charged with their proper handling, programming and safekeeping. She designs rituals and conducts workshops on their use and care. She aims to share her extensive knowledge of spiritual practices with Instituto Xilonen’s clients, crafting individualized programs that will help each client achieve their own unique higher consciousness.
