05 Jan Lunita Valeria Velasquez
Lunita Velasquez is a first generation American healing arts practitioner, mother, and writer raised biculturally on Kumeyaay land in Southern California near the Mexican border. Poetry and short story writing started at an early age, as an intrinsic medium to make sense of the world and the complexities of navigating humanness as a highly sensitive being. My healing arts education background is diverse and fueled by my personal quest for holistic well being, creative embodiment, and self discovery.
I intend to do my part to decolonize the wellness industry, and teach in a way that seeks to re-pattern us from the oppressive lens of capitalist society. It is incredibly important to me to ensure that sacred traditions are honored, respected, and not appropriated for my own commercial gain.
I center a trauma-sensitive approach and informed consent within every space I curate.
Lunita Velasquez will be sharing BODY PRISMS : Embracing the multidimensional nature of our body and spirit through the practice of decolonization & radical embodiment.
