Services for facilitators

I offer deep listening support, coaching, and mentorship for facilitators.  This is not a supervisory framework.  Rather, it provides an opportunity for deep self-reflection, strengths-based learning, and a container for honing and developing your own authentic facilitation and ceremonial style based on your unique gifts and ancestry.

​

Over the last 15 years, I have been diving deeply into my own heritage and reconnecting with my mixed lineages to develop deep relationships with my ancestors and their practices. I am a Guatemalan-born-and-raised Mestiza, and my body carries ancestry from Indigenous Mayan, European, Middle Eastern, and African peoples.  My journey of reconnecting with and reclaiming my lineages has involved coming to terms with my ancestors' complex roles as both oppressors and oppressed and finding authentic ways of honoring my roots with reverence and respect without falling into the trap of cultural appropriation.  This has been a richly rewarding process been in my own personal research, traveling to ancestral origin places, learning from elders and teachers, and developing a deeply authentic-to-me, Earth-honoring spiritual practice that guides and grounds my medicine practice.  Like my embodied self, this practice draws from many influences, but the common ground is a commitment to the Earth, to Life, and to personal growth and evolution.

​

I believe that in the work of medicine practice, it is important to develop a deep grounding in a spiritual practice that feels authentic to who we are, which honors the complexities of our past without bypassing while bringing back to life the ways of our ancestors.  I have been honored to be guided by many wonderful teachers in this quest for an authenitc spirituality, which forms the foundation for my medicine work.  It would be an honor to support you in your own quest to find what resonates deeply with your soul.
