This is an updated version of our workshop platicas on spiritual ancestral wisdom from a mesoamerican indigenous perspective. This platica will focus on how to honor and connect with our spiritual wellness with strong influences from Mexica and mesoamerican beliefs. In particular, we will discuss how to incorporate Mexica spirituality concepts in daily life toward one’s well-being and well-being of Chicanx families and the Chicanx community. Concepts that will be discussed include.

– Energies of the sacred directions, including what they represent and how to connect with each in our daily lives

– Connecting to natural cycles to live in balance and harmony with ourselves and the world around us (cycles of our bodies, cycles of the seasons, celestial cycles – sun, moon, stars) –

– Common life ceremonies
