When you complete registration through eventbrite, a Zoom link for the panel will be emailed to you!</h3><p><em></em></p><h3><em>Voices from the Ancestors: Xicanx and Latinx Spiritual Expressions and Healing Practices</em>, published by the University of Arizona Press, brings together the reflective writings and spiritual practices of Xicanx, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx womxn and male allies in the United States who seek to heal from the historical traumas of colonization by returning to ancestral traditions and knowledge.</h3><p></p><p>With editors Lara Medina and Martha Gonzales, this online event celebrates the book’s themes, wisdom, and importance during this challenging time. Contributors will read excerpts from the book, and answer questions from participants.</p><p>The wisdom detailed in this book is based on the authors’ oral traditions, research, intuitions, and lived experiences—wisdom inspired by, and created from, personal trajectories on the path to spiritual conocimiento, or inner spiritual inquiry. This conocimiento has reemerged over the last fifty years as efforts to decolonize lives, minds, spirits, and bodies have advanced. Yet this knowledge goes back many generations to the time when the ancestors understood their interconnectedness with each other, with nature, and with the sacred cosmic ­forces—a time when the human body was a microcosm of the universe.</p>
