Raising Future Ancestors
In this presentation, Latinx Parenting founder and parent coach Leslie Priscilla will guide participants through a thorough and powerful discussion around what it means to divest from the paradigm of violence and colonial power-over dynamics for parents, families, and professionals.
We will use a healing-centered approach in providing an overview of the strengths-based and culturally sustaining parenting practices towards individual and family thriving. We will discuss what is needed from us, on a personal, collective, and societal level, to raise children, our future ancestors, who embody the principles of social and racial justice, nonviolence, and a fierce commitment to healthy and healed relationships with self, others and the planet.
Included will be an exploration of the practice of Reparenting Ourselves, with a focus on developing a relationship to our Inner Child, our Inner Parent, and our own Future Ancestor Self. We will cover what it looks like to heal our parental wounds that often keep us from becoming the fullest and most evolved version of ourselves.
As we aim to deconstruct a world that hurts the most vulnerable, we will begin with deconstructing the messaging that continues to prevent us from growth and fulfillment. This will be a truly immersive experience that will leave participants feeling connected, expanded, and hopeful for the vision we are collectively working towards.
