In this episode of The Unknown Tribe, Alex Ferry sits down with Dulce Ruby, Mexican creator, meditation guide, and founder of Despierta, to explore a path where the dreamworld and waking life merge as one continuum of awareness.​

A lifelong seeker and visionary, Dulce shares how her lineage of curanderas, her years teaching meditation across the globe, and her time living in a temple inspired the creation of Despierta, a conscious brand rooted in the art of herbal alchemy and intention. Her handcrafted blends, Astral Traveler, Morning Mystic, and Celestial Calm, bridge ancestral wisdom, ritual, and the modern search for balance.​

Together, we dive into:​

– How to make mystical practices more accessible and grounded in daily life​
– The connection between Mexican ancestral healing and holistic well-being​
– Using dreams as portals for healing, manifestation, and remembrance​
– The importance of sourcing, energy, and ritual in what we consume​
– Her work with The Sacred Dream Collective, helping people embody lucid awareness in waking life​

A conversation about consciousness, creation, and the beauty of living wide awake and always dreaming.​
