Community Workshops
Through hands-on creative practice, we host workshops that explore ancestral knowledge, cultural memory, and the energies of the Cholq’ij. Each session is a space for learning, co-creation, and collective healing.
Ixim + The Cholq’ij
13.0.10.17.7 – 12 Kiej | October 12, 2023 | Unceded Nisenan Land (Sacramento, CA)
Honoring ixim (corn) as ancestor and sacred sustenance across Abya Yala, this workshop traced corn’s path as both nourishment and ceremony. Through stories and the making of chicha, we reconnected with corn’s teachings. The gathering was co-presented by Lorena Rodríguez, Lina Kaneda, and Araceli Moreno, whose offerings carried both ancestral knowledge and joy.
Cacao + The Cholq’ij
13.0.10.15.19 – 10 Kawok | September 14, 2023 | Unceded Nisenan Land (Sacramento, CA)
This gathering centered the medicine of cacao—its history, role in Mesoamerica, and its continuing power as a connector. We were joined by Karla Rueda of Cru Chocolate, who offered teachings and tastings that deepened our collective reflection on cacao as both food and ceremony.
