We are honored your path led you here…
‘‘Who looks outside, Dreams;
Who looks inside, Awakens.’’
- Carl Jung
To empower our community to prioritize self-care and their mental and emotional health by guiding them through ancestral traditions & holistic practices.
Through the creation and holding of safe spaces we, in turn, cultivate stronger relationships with our innermost selves and ultimately the world around us.
We strive to remove barriers and taboos surrounding ancestral healing modalities and practices which complement treatments in reducing and managing stress, anxiety, and depression.
We work to extinguish social, cultural, and discriminatory stigmas that individuals and communities face when exploring alternative healing paths.
As a collective, we embrace ancestral healing and continue the legacy of our Abuelitas and Abuelitos across all cultures.
Our Mission
Honoring Ancestors
We combine ancestral Mexica and Meso-American practices with techniques such as mindfulness, somatic therapy, sound baths, and guided meditation.
This approach supports one’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual integration which can restore balance and inner peace.
