29 Indigenous Reclamation -- Mystic Soul (AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez, Ra Mendoza, & Teresa P Mateus)

Welcome to part 2 of a 3-part collaborative series between the Mystic Soul Project and Healing Justice Podcast! This week, AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez, Teresa P Mateus, & Ra Mendoza join us to talk about Indigenous reclamation, IndoLatinx identity, mujerista / womanist / queer theology, and practical acts to decolonize spiritual practice. Download the corresponding practice about reclaiming our names to learn an activity from AnaYelsi that can be a meaningful tapping into lineage and ancestry for a group. Practice episodes always publish on Thursdays. Download episode 26 to hear from Mystic Soul about POC-centered spirituality. Our final episode in this three part series will release this June. --- 🚀  Help us get to Allied Media Conference in Detroit!   🚀 We’re teaming up with Tonic Podcast to make healing justice media to share with you at the AMC.
