Learning why restorative practices are important in our parenting will actually teach our children vulnerability and compassion.
This course is for caretakers and parents that want to do different and know we will mess up along the way. Parenting and caretaking of our young ones is not linear and is not perfect, but teaching them skills of communication, compassion and vulnerability happen in real time and parallel with them.
This workshop is virtual, and participants are invited to have a notebook, water, and a candle on hand.
About the Instructor:
Chayo is a Zapoteca mother of 3 on Tongva Lands, and is the people steward at School for the Ecocene. She is the creator of a world where education feels less like a cage and more like a vibrant tapestry, woven with ancestral wisdom and the joyful exploration of little minds. She is co-founder of Ooxor Aweeshko Community School after embarking on a decolonizing journey in 2018 to recognize that true freedom starts with raising children who aren't afraid to think and do.
‘Ooxor ‘Aweeshko is a family circle, not a classroom. Currently, 5 families form the core, but their impact extends far wider, touching over 150 people through workshops, support groups, and events. Here, BIPOC families can ditch the guilt and embrace "unschooling" – a way of learning that centers around curiosity, not control. It's about seeing children as whole beings, not problems to be fixed, and supporting them on their unique journeys.
Chayo is also a Reiki Master. Since 2011, she's practiced the art of energy healing, weaving her intuitive gifts and ancestral traditions into a unique practice. Inspired by her grandmother, a healer of children's ailments, Chayo creates a personalized healing space for each person. She believes that true healing starts with connecting to our "Godly selves," and she shares this gift through distant healing and in-person sessions. Join Chayo and discover the joy of learning, healing, and growing together!
