"La esperanza es el único bien común a todos los seres humanos; los que todo lo han perdido la poseen aún." – Tales de Mileto
En este círculo tendremos la oportunidad de recordar qué nos brinda esperanza y porqué es importante hermanarnos con ella en esta época tan inestable colectivamente. Hablar de la esperanza no solo nos ayudará a sostener la gratitud a pesar de todo sino que nos dará la fuerza necesaria para continuar hasta alcanzar lo que anhelamos. Acompáñanos en esta sesión para en colectividad, reforzar el poder de la esperanza.

"Hope is the only good common to all human beings; those who have lost everything still possess it." – Thales of Miletus
In this circle, we will have the opportunity to reflect on what gives us hope and why it is important to embrace it during these times of collective instability. Speaking about hope will not only help us sustain a sense of gratitude in the face of adversity, but will also grant us the strength needed to persevere until we achieve what we yearn for. Join us for this session to collectively reinforce the power of hope.

June 15: Sacred Relationships: Reclaiming our Wholeness
with Dr. Patty Ramirez
Hosted by xochicoatl bello
Systems of oppression condition us to disconnect from ourselves, from one another, and from the communities we serve. This interactive workshop invites participants into a process of reclaiming our wholeness by gently examining the moments we have had to leave ourselves to survive. Through guided reflection, journaling, somatic practices, and collective witnessing, we will name what was lost, honor what was carried, and reconnect with the wisdom that emerged.

“Cuando te cuidas, le enseñas a otros cómo tratarte.” Rupi Kaur
A lo largo de dos horas, se creará un espacio seguro donde los participantes podrán detenerse, escucharse y reconocerse, no desde la exigencia de “hacer más”, sino desde la posibilidad de volver a sí mismos con mayor conciencia y amabilidad. Nos enfocaremos en la escucha activa, la presencia y el compartir en pequeños grupos, permitiendo que cada persona tenga un espacio auténtico para expresarse y ser escuchada sin juicio. A través de dinámicas guiadas, momentos de conexión corporal y conversaciones significativas, se facilita un proceso de reconexión con las propias necesidades emocionales y personales.Este espacio no busca enseñar fórmulas de autocuidado, sino abrir una experiencia donde cada participante pueda reconocer qué necesita hoy y cómo empezar a sostenerse con mayor claridad y cuidado en su vida cotidiana.
“When you take care of yourself, you teach others how to treat you.” — Rupi Kaur
Over the course of two hours, a safe space will be created where participants can pause, listen to themselves, and truly acknowledge their own presence—not out of the pressure to “do more,” but rather through the opportunity to return to themselves with greater awareness and kindness. We will focus on active listening, presence, and sharing in small groups, allowing each person an authentic space to express themselves and be heard without judgment. Through guided exercises, moments of bodily connection, and meaningful conversations, a process of reconnecting with one’s own emotional and personal needs is facilitated. This space does not seek to teach formulas for self-care, but rather to open up an experience in which each participant can recognize what they need today—and how to begin supporting themselves with greater clarity and care in their daily lives.
