Healing ourselves is a journey of return. During this weekend workshop, you will be invited to learn about the practice and traditions of “curanderisma” (folk medicine) to bring forth awareness and attune us to our individual healing journeys. Through meditative and contemplative practices, touch, prayer, plants, and natural elements, their work honors a lineage of centuries-old wisdom to bring a sense of well being to those seeking renewal.

This workshop will include:

  • Optional morning movement and mediation practice.
  • The Point of Origin: A session focused on the navel and abdominal massage for somatic release and greater self connection.
  • Barridas (Plant Sweepings): Foraging and working with plant and herb bundles to cleanse energies.
  • Empathic Connection: An exploration with our intuition, revealing how to listen and connect with each other, and ourselves, more deeply.
  • Limpia con Huevo (Washing with an Egg): A lesson sharing the practice of clearing and divining one’s energies with the use of an egg.
  • Evening Moon Meditation and Flowering Bathing.

Through Margaret and Michael’s teachings, you’re invited to connect to your own innate healing potential and have the ability to support others with love and intention.
