Now more than ever we are called to
remember the ways of our ancestors.
La Cultura Cura:
A Virtual Care Circle Series
highlights Indigenous/Xicanx healing ways.
For the entire month of May, we are bringing together our community
to share knowledge and wisdom that is centered in healing our whole selves--
mind, body and spirit.
Will you join us? 
On Monday May 25th at 7pm Dr. Manuel X. & Jessica Tlazoltiani Zamarripa will facilitate Liberation & Healing: A Chicanx Psychology. This platica will be a discussion of both our ancestral and current community wisdom and strengths related to our wellness and well-being. Part of the decolonization process is de-centering individualistic values to be more inclusive of indigenous and ancestral practices. For lxs Zamarripas, Chicanx Psychology is “Gente Psychology”; meaning that the “answers” to many of the struggles we face are held within our cultural legacy.
Zoom information will be given upon registration.
