Mothering Ourselves Workshop at Eastside Cafe

Classes, Circles, and Self-Paced Courses

I facilitate workshops, public events, and soundbaths throughout the year that are held in person at Awareness Center Yoga or the Philosophical Research Society or remotely via Zoom.

The workshops focus on love and relationships, the mystical and esoteric, and the Grandmother's Teachings such as Sacred Elements and Sacred Allies. I also share self-paced courses via Teachable. Scroll down to read about Mothering Ourselves and Igniting Joy.

Cosmic Temple Series

For the Astro-Curious Souls

The planets are not distant forces acting upon you.

They are archetypal teachers and companions that invite you into deeper conversation with yourself and the world around you.

Through reflection, ritual, embodiment practices, and guided exploration, we learn to listen differently. We begin to recognize how the language of the cosmos is already speaking through our desires, emotions, relationships, challenges, and dreams.

This is not astrology as information, it is a relationship and practice honoring our personal cycles.

Apapacharnos: Befriending What Hurts

August 22, Virtual Workshop, 11 am PST

In Spanish, apapachar means "to embrace with the soul." Apapacharnos is the practice of offering ourselves that same tenderness, meeting what hurts with compassion instead of judgment. Together, we'll explore how emotional patterns live within the interconnected rivers of spirit, mind, emotion, and body, and how compassionate inquiry, embodied awareness, and Mexica wisdom can help us cultivate a more loving relationship with ourselves. Through reflection and guided practices, you'll leave with simple tools for tending your inner landscape with greater presence, care, and self-trust.

Self-Paced Courses

Mothering Ourselves & Igniting Joy

Mothering Ourselves

“Mothering Ourselves” is a guided sanctuary of healing and remembrance, where you’ll learn to offer yourself the loving care and sacred nurturing you may not have received in childhood. Rooted in the ancestral practice of apapacho—a Nahuatl word meaning “to embrace the soul”—this course gently leads you toward tending your emotional body and honoring your unmet needs.

Igniting Joy

Igniting Joy is rooted in indigenous ways of understanding how energy flows (Ollin) and revitalizing a vital force located in the heart (Teyollila).

The hummingbird is our master guide through the course. It reminds us to be joyful and fearless in our quest for the nectar for our own dreams. The nectar is a life source for the hummingbird. The metaphor of the nectar is for us to seek the sweetness of life fearlessly and voraciously like the hummingbird does. The invitation for you during this course is to open up to joy and experience more ease and flow in your life. There will be no need to delay gratification. Or experience joy as a reward.
