Decolonizing healing practices, the business of healing practices, and identities as a “healer”
Exploring what Curanderismo practices they are drawn to and ideal settings to put these gifts into practice
Practicing spiritual hygiene, and discernment in what can and cannot be expected from healing services
Understanding their clientele, growing their healing practice, considerations for physical and online spaces, promoting and collaborating with others
Exploring the necessity of boundaries in their healing practices and business policies, and creating honoring and accessible healing spaces

Level I will be an annual program with 12 total online monthly courses ($50/course) and a private community chat board. It is encouraged to attend all 12 monthly courses, but it will not be necessary to attend every course to participate in Level I. It is also unnecessary to take the classes from Level One in any particular order. But, to be eligible to sign up for the Curanderismo Mentorship Program, Level II, you must have taken all 12 classes from this Curanderismo Mentorship Program, Level I.

The mentorship programs will be open to all people, and please be aware that we will be discussing decolonizing BIPOC healing practices and identities with a focus on curanderismo Indigenous traditions. If these areas are something that do not interest you, or you feel are irrelevant to you, please do not sign up for any of these courses.

This program is for people that want to be a part of a safe and loving learning and healing environment. Participants will be expected to participate in a respectful manner, and will be removed from the class and lose access to the chat board, without a refund, if they are hostile in anyway. Thank you for your understanding, and only signing up, if you can honor this.

This curanderismo mentorship will go beyond the how-to’s of curanderismo practices—limpias, divination work, facilitating, and preparation work.

While the how-to’s, will definitely be covered, it will be expected that you have: 1. either taken the Online Limpia Classes or have read my first book, Cleansing Rites of Curanderismo, and 2. have read my third book, Sacred Energies of the Sun and Moon. Ideally, reread the how-to sections of my first and third book, before taking the courses.

There will be 12 online two-hour courses for the mentorship program and a private community chat board. These annual courses start every April and end on March (the following year). The entire Curanderismo Mentorship annual program will only be $600, $200/quarter or $50/course. You can purchase as many or as little of the 12 total courses at any time after the registration date.

Enrollment date for April 2026 to March 2027

January 4th 2026 at 9am PST. Please keep in mind that the enrollment date is simply the date you can “start” enrolling for this course period. You have until any one class actually begins to enroll for the class.

January 3rd 2027 at 9am PST. Please keep in mind that the enrollment date is simply the date you can “start” enrolling for this course period. You have until any one class actually begins to enroll for the class.

All participants will be visible on the screen share and will have an opportunity to interact as a community.

You will have access to watch/rewatch any of the courses for 28 days, after the course you registered for has gone live. After the 28-days, the classes get deleted. Failure to watch the class within the 28-day period, will not warrant credit for a future course.
