 This nature-based restorative retreat is designed to support your reconnection with self, community, your lineages and the natural world. This will be a highly experiential and immersive retreat for therapist seeking culturally grounded, embodied and spiritually informed approaches to grief care.

This highly experiential retreat invites you to practice the interventions as you learn, integrating heart, body, and spirit in ways that support both you and your clinical work. Through culturally centered mind-body practices, clinical teachings, art expression, group dialogue, and ritual, you will explore grief beyond pathology, honoring cultural wisdom and collective care.

Come restore yourself, deepen your clinical skills, and be in community with fellow Xicanx/Latine therapists.

Our retreat will take place on the beautiful mountain hills of Ojai, CA on Chumash territory.

👣 Collectively grieve the harms of indoctrination, colonial violence, racial caste systems, cultural erasure, and enforced assimilation.

🔥 Name and tend grief related to internalized ideologies of supremacy, colorism, anti-Indigeneity, and anti-Blackness.

Ritual and Ceremony for Women

Rites of Passage such as menarche/puberty, marriage, and pregnancy/birth are sacred moments in a women's life that deserve to be celebrated and honored in a special way. Let me help you bring ritual and ceremony to yours.

I gather the wisdom of my indigenous ancestral knowledge, the teachings of my grandmothers and traditional elders who have passed on these beautiful ceremonies, respectfully with their blessing I share these teachings in a good way.

Let's create a beautiful rite of passage ritual for you or a loved one. We could work together and co-facilitate or I could plan and facilitate the ritual with your guidance. Contact me to further discuss the details.

Let us help you with...

  • First Moon (girls coming of age)
  • Bridal Blessing (preparation for marriage)
  • Mother Blessing (preparation for motherhood)
  • Moon Pause (preparation for menopause)
