Society & Culture
In this practice, you’ll experience a daily gratitude prayer with Francisca Porchas Coronado in English. It can be listened to from a quiet and still place, or on the go - wherever you can dedicate your heart and attention. You can find a version of this prayer along with other practices in the Resistencia Ancestral / Ancestral Spiritual Resistance Zine you can download for free from Mijente: https://mijente.net/2017/11/02/ancestral-spiritual-resistance-zine/
* Se puede escuchar este rezo en español por el próximo episodio / Download the next episode to hear this prayer in Spanish *
You can also download the corresponding conversation with Francisca (episode 21). We talk about: her spiritual path in IFA, how she was politicized and got her start in organizing, healing traditions in immigrant Latinx & Chicanx communities, the resilience of undocumented folks in the face of loss and grief, tending to pain politically and personally, community ritual, bridging healing and organizing and some specific challenging asks for organizers and healers to help build that bridge.
