Join us to learn, meditate, and celebrate Indigenous People and Latinx culture in the US. This Indigenous Peoples’ Day practice honors the sovereignty, resilience, and immense contributions that Native Americans have made to the world. This program also takes place during Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15 annually), which serves as a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Latino community.
This session is inspired by these words and the work of Juana Bordas: “Our stories are a collective journey, small streams forming a powerful river.”
