Join us Thursday, November 2nd at 7pm for a workshop on altar making as a spiritual practice that connects us to ancestral wisdom. This Indigenous ritual invites us to remember not only who we are, but who we come from. We hope to cultivate sacred space where past, present, and future are held and honored.

Her background includes leadership roles in care farming communities implementing trauma informed practice, education, and medical advocacy for people with developmental disabilities and mental illnesses. Brisa's commitment to decolonizing Western care models that are often devoid of culturally relevant, trauma-informed perspective has included consulting for organizations creating functional systems of accountability for anti-racism, Diversity Equity and Inclusion work. She believes that embodied wellness is a birthright.
