Ixchel Tonāntzin Xōchitlzihuatl
Ixchel supports people in remembering, serving and reconnecting to their first mother, the earth. She is committed to contributing to the co-evolution of the human species towards peaceful, sustainable futures. Her techniques include design justice, socially engaged art, emergent strategy, mindfulness, somatics, indigenous wisdom, and community decolonization.
Ixchel trains, collaborates and has studied with indigenous communities throughout the Abayala (Maiza/ the Americas) including the Kichwa in the upper Ecuadorian Amazon (linage of the Gualinga family), the Maya Kiche (lineage of Paula Yus), and the Wixrarika and Uto-Aztecans (linage of Marakame Silvestre Carrillo). Her projects focus on eco-social acupuncture (collaborating with indigenous leaders who steward sacred sites).
May her work be pleasing to all those who have come before working towards liberation and earth stewardship. May all beings feel peace. May all beings feel nourished. May all beings know rest. May all beings be healthy. May all beings remember their nature of oneness and shine brightly with light of one thousand and one suns.
