This is a 4-week virtual workshop, "Strengthening the Mind: A Toolkit for Your Healing Basket," ​led by Sacred Roots healer, Martha Martinez. Integrating the wisdom of our traditions with tools to nourish our bodies across our lifetime, while we work toward dismantling all forms of oppression.

You will learn the following tools:

• "Centering" – reestablishing your connection to the sacred 
• "Grounding" – owning your sacred root to the mother

• "Sanctuary" - balancing your space and being separate from what’s happening in your environment
