The Power of 3 in Borikén

Featuring

Sofia Mendoza, LCSW & Rosa Shetty, LCSW

This part 2 of a comadre conversation with Sofia Mendoza, LCSW and Rosa Shetty, LCSW reflecting on their first retreat for Femmes of color in beautiful Utuado, Puerto Rico. Cynthia, Sofia and Rosa set out from LAX to San Juan to let themselves be held by the 4 directions, the 4 elements, and 2  powerful medicine women. In June 2023, Natalie Gutierrez, LMFT and Dr. Lydiana Garcia curated an intentionally loving and expansive reclaiming of ourselves and our ancestral lineage. “Reclaiming my Voice and Roots” is a 3 night 4day retreat to reconnect to our inner wisdom. Lydiana and Natalie did a wonderful job picking the location and welcoming us with their majestic and indigenous medicine at the beautiful Casa Grande retreat resort. 

Stay Tuned for a Part 3 follow up episode with Natalie and Lydiana on the podcast to share their intention and reflections from their first retreat from dream to delivery! This will be a special episode with  fellow retreat participant, inner child homie, and co-host Zina Rodriguez, LCSW.
