Join us for an enlightening 8-week journey into the heart of curanderismo, where we will embark on a profound exploration of healing, ancestral wisdom, and community connection. In this workshop, we will create a sacred container to rediscover our roots and reclaim traditional healing practices.
Curanderismo is an ancient healing tradition deeply rooted in indigenous cultures across the Americas. In this immersive workshop, participants will have the unique opportunity to learn directly from esteemed and trusted indigenous healers, sharing family remedies and delving into the living practice of curanderismo.
The workshop will consist of virtual meetings held every Monday, starting September 30th and concluding on November 18th. Each session will be a dynamic blend of teachings, interactive demonstrations, group discussions, and experiential learning, fostering a supportive and transformative community environment. Hosted by Napaquetzalli with more Guest Instructors TBA
