Soy de Aquí y De Allá: Holding the Complexity of Latinidad
Veline Mojarro is a second-generation Mexican American who was raised in a proud Chicana household. She invites participants into a candid exploration of the complexities and diversity within Latinidad, and will invite us to hold the often contradictory layers of identity, belonging, and cultural pride.
As Veline shares her personal journey, we will reflect on critical questions: Who is included—and who is left out—of Latinidad? How do these exclusions create harm within our communities? And how can we celebrate our roots while holding space for the nuance and contradictions of our identities?
Join us for a space of reflection, dialogue, and reclamation as we hold the “both/and” of being from here and there, and how that is impacted in our current political climate.
Keep your Center: Healing Practices for Resilience
How do we return to ourselves, especially in a world where the fear and pain feels overwhelming? This experiential and dialogue based workshop offers a space to slow down, reconnect, and explore practices to build emotional, spiritual, and collective resilience.
Veline will bring participants into the framework of her healing-centered coaching to practice pausing, aligning, grounding, and acting, a process to move through navigating stress, burnout, and uncertainty—while staying rooted in our values and inner wisdom. Whether you're a community leader, caregiver, artist, or simply feeling the weight of the moment, this space is for anyone seeking to realign with their center and move forward with intention and care.
We’ll move through grounding experiential practices rooted in breathwork, guided meditation, somatic shaking, joy, and dance to support our body’s natural capacity to heal and reset. Open to all bodies and experience levels. Come ready to move, feel, and reclaim your center—together.
Learning from Matriarchy
What are the lessons and medicine we have been gifted from our matriarchs? How are they valued in our institutional spaces? Especially in moments of deep change and transformation? In this speech, Veline Mojarro will explore how matriarchal principles offer a powerful framework for our continued resilience and care. Through Veline’s personal reflections on her grandmothers and mother we will honor cultural traditions, real-world lived experience, to examine how we can all honor and embody matriarchal values in practice.
This is an invitation to get curious about how we shift from control to connection, from scarcity to reciprocity, and to lead in ways that are deeply aligned with building new futures.
