ON THE SACRED CONNECTIOn
So many of us feel restless and anxious in relationship to others and in relationship to ourselves. So many of us struggle with a feeling of incompleteness that might translate as a sense of dissatisfaction or restlessness. I attribute this aspect of the human experience as resulting from our "attachment void" - a part of ourselves that we attempt to fill with relationships, sex, food, substances, work, constant sound, activity, distractions, shopping, acquiring ... The list goes on.
Attachment theory tells us that our personal and collective anxiety can be traced back to ruptures that occurred in early childhood. While there is indisputable truth to this, it is possible that our anxiety runs even deeper and further than our childhood attachment wounds. For most of us, attachment ruptures have been centuries in the making as our cultures of origin suffered the disconnection that came with the disruption of Indigenous ways of coexistence in which we were part of larger systems such as spiritual sources, Nature, ancestral guidance, and tribal/village life. Instead of being in reciprocity and connection with these systems that supported and nourished us as part of the larger web of existence, we are now depleted by the patriarchal, colonial, capitalist systems we are a part of that are rooted in fragmentation, extraction, and disconnection.
This course will provide us with a deeper understanding of the source of modern existential human suffering, while providing us with tools and practices for deeper connection with Mother Nature, the wisdom of our Bodies, Elemental Forces, the unseen world, and our Ancestral Guides. It moves us way beyond Western models of mental health and wellness by showing us a glimpse of what’s possible in terms of our wholeness.
Please note that this course might support your wellness, but is not mental health therapy. Participation in this course is not a substitute for mental or physical health care of any kind, nor does it mean that we are in a therapeutic relationship. If you are struggling with mental or physical health issues, please go through the appropriate medical channels.

Finding belonging as mixed-race folx
Next Course Launch: October 2026
FROM WHERE WE COME TO WHERE WE ARE
Those of us that are mixed-race are quickly becoming the Global Majority. Mixed-race folx often know the struggle to find self, place, and belonging not only in white supremacist systems, but also within our own racial identities and cultures. We are the children of those displaced by the ravages of colonization, slavery, war, and often the inherited poverty left by these very same forces. Often we are ethnically rich and culturally poor. What if we could connect to the richness of a healthy ancestral heritage by working through the woundedness and by getting to know belonging within our identities.
This course is for anyone who relates to this experience and wants to unpack the many layers that impact those of us with mixed-race identities as well explore pathways toward finding belonging. We will come together to form the modern village, forge connection with one another, and drop into an exploration around the complexity of identity for folx with mixed-race backgrounds.
A lot of mixed-race folx don’t feel that they are enough of anything to fit in anywhere. I’m not Black enough, Indigenous enough, Mexican enough, Asian enough… and yet we're not white.
We are asked again and again, “What are you?”
I’m a human being, that’s what I am. But is there more?

On THe WORD “MeSTIZ(e)”
Mestizo/a is a specific term in Spanish for a Spanish and Indigenous mixed-race person. It describes the state of being a mixed-race person.
While “race” is a colonial construct, this course is for ANY person who identifies as mixed-race. We use the “E” instead of the gendered vowels (a) and (o) in respect of nonbinary folx.
