Carolina Pascowitch

With an undergraduate degree in business and extended education in a variety of methods involving personal growth, I've has spent the last 20 years transiting and mingling the worlds of business and self development.

Specialized in cross border business development, I have supported startups and founders throughout their growth, and expansion into new markets. Currently, as part of Astella, a Brazilian Venture Capital firm, I am responsible for building global relationships and connecting international investors to the local ecosystem.

Having been exposed to many cultures across 6 continents since childhood, I've become interested in understanding the complexities of human behavior, the collective consciousness and how the conditioning and beliefs we hold about ourselves and others, separates us, or enables us to interconnect.

This has led me to study a variety of modalities in search of "the truth", but I only came to realize that the truth can not be seen though the lens of any belief system, it could only be felt in our hearts.

As the story of the Golden Buddha teaches us: while our body holds layers of mud, it also holds the key to the gold; and my intention is that we allow ourselves to see the mud as mud, understand how it serves us, but also become curious about what lies within our core. Only then we can decide to act from our values (gold), rather than from our emotions (mud).

I desire that we allow ourselves to look past the veils to attain beyond a glimpse of truth, and aspire a life based on a foundation of love. Contrary to popular belief, from my experience, this is what it feels like to live in reality, and in reality, is where the magic begins ✨

I am inspired by connecting people, ideas & dots and building bridges that aim to create a better future!
