About this event

  • 2 hours

Robyn Moreno seemed to have it all together on social media, but she was actually burnt out from the familiar tightrope walk of being a working mom and dealing with family drama. To save herself and her family, Robyn studied the medicine of her Mexican grandmothers, curanderismo, on a 260-day spiritual journey based on an ancient Mexica calendar. She reconnected with family, took cooking lessons, found joy in hiking, and even went into the jungle of Belize for healing. This journey gave her an unshakable understanding of who she is and how she fits into the world, and allowed her to decide which traditions and medicines to pass on to her daughters.
