— virtual Workshop —
In this workshop, we’ll explore how to bow to your body's natural wisdom, tuning in to the desire to move out stress and trauma, as well as learning how to welcome the Earth as a powerful being for co-regulation and trauma healing.
“Luis connects the dots for your body, mind, spirit. I am a better person because of Luis. He sees me, he holds me accountable, he unfolds and opens secrets, the good and the ugly, where I can face all of me in a safe and loving environment.”
Trauma is natural - it's how the body helps us survive. Being traumatized is the societal result of repressing our trauma response, and being isolated from collective healing. Colonization has raised us to oppose nature, including our intuition and natural instincts. We’ve become separated from the land, and as a result, every human being holds a major trauma in their body.
By coming back to the Earth, attuning to Her wisdom and clarity, we can begin to connect the dots and rediscover the healing within. She’s right outside your door, in the air that blows through your windows, and the tap water in your sink. The land is coming to you always, and we can learn how to approach her accessible medicine with intention and technique.
This workshop aims to help you by...
Showing how to be in relation to the Earth and elements through the lens of trauma healing.
Using common elements, such as water and air, as a co-regulator.
Allowing your body to attune with the land
Incorporating herbs & foods to bring quiet to the body.
Providing tools to slow down and listen to your intuitive flow.
Incorporating herbal infusions as a soothing ally for your nervous system
Meet Your Guide
Luis is a trained somatic therapist, who was initiated into the wisdom of trauma through years of suffering. He learned that just as the body stores trauma, the body can release it. He believes that by using somatic techniques, whole foods, herbs, and connecting to the Earth, we are able to listen to our bodies and release stored trauma.
Also a pianist and vocalist, Luis explores the nuances of androgyny, spirituality, and unorthodox male identity through his intuitive compositions and unique musical style. His upcoming record, How A Stranger Is Made, is a beautiful tapestry of piano-driven songs that express, quite intimately, Luis' healing journey through shamanism, sex, pain, & ecstatic joy.
In celebration of the album and its intentions, Luis has put together a very special pre-order package that is limited to 100 people. The goal of this package is to fund the production of the album into vinyl, donate a quarter of the proceeds to a local indigenous organization, and host a 2-hour virtual healing ritual via Zoom that begins the work to reconnecting to each of our unique indigenous roots and weaving that wisdom together in community.
