November 8 | Supporting Susto with Rose & Herbal Medicinefacilitated by Victor Arroyo and Cristina Puzio
During these challenging times, many in our community are experiencing susto — a spiritual and emotional state of fear or shock that leaves the nervous system in high alert. This community workshop offers space to ground, release, and reconnect through ancestral healing practices.
We’ll explore the medicine of the rose and sacred herbs such as rosemary, basil, and copal — learning how these plant allies can help soothe the nervous system, cleanse our energetic field, and restore balance to our hearts and spirit. Participants will learn ways to integrate these healing practices into their daily lives.
What to Bring:
A bundle of red, yellow, or white roses
A cleansing bundle (sahumerio, incense burner bowl)
A sacred item for the community altar
November 15 | Chanting and Mindfulness Meditationfacilitated by Isabel Garcia
In this workshop, we will explore the practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras and engaging in mindfulness meditation. These tools promote a state of calm and relaxation for both the mind and body. By participating in these practices, individuals can enhance focus, maintain emotional balance, and reduce stress. No prior experience is necessary—come and change your vibration.
November 22 | Immune Health For Unprecedented Times facilitated by Alyssa Villegas
The workshop is focused on the importance of immune health during periods of extreme stress. We will examine the relationship between stress, our health, and the stream of atrocities of today's world. Collectively, we will explore the magic of oxymels and create personalized recipes made to strengthen and nourish our immune systems.
November 29 | Sensing the Soul Nerve facilitated by Mariana Lopez
This workshop is an introduction to the Somatic Experiencing (SE) trauma recovery framework and practices. We will learn about polyvagal theory and engage in somatic awareness practices to support resiliency and finding ease in difficult times as well as integrating SE into your on-going wellness practices and spiritual healing.
