Kultivating Kapwa: Decolonizing Parenthood Episode 3.11
"Being the Bridge in the Shadows of Parenting- Re-membering Each Other, Re-membering Ourselves"
In this episode, we are joined by marlena. We discuss a spiritual toolkit for emotional regulation, especially for children, finding building, and connecting with community as a parent, dealing with big emotions in tiny bodies, and more.
a triple scorpio with a virgo moon, marlena is a bridge of re-membering and transmutation. she accepts the invitation as an intermediary for liminal spaces within the physical and spiritual worlds. as a cultural worker she could have been found some years ago on Lenape territories hosting and performing in poetry events and art shows. she currently is in exchange with plant medicines as an herbalist and diving deeper into divination practices. marlena is queer, multiracial, and multicultural with maternal kampampangan lineages. she is also a birthing parent to fraternal twins, truth and mayari. they currently reside the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Me-wuk/Miwok, Pomo, and Wappo peoples.
