EVENTS · LAS VEGAS
There’s always something brewing around here.
Sometimes it’s a pot of herbal medicine. Sometimes it’s a very good story. Most days, it’s a little of both.
The fire’s still lit, and there’s room for a few more. Come learn with me in circles, classes, and workshops rooted in ancestral knowledge, culture, and good company. Bring your curiosity. I’ll put the pot on.
The kettles, and the man who will tell you what’s in them.

WAYS TO GATHER
Pull up a chair. Or roll up your sleeves.
Flowers in the middle, stories all around.
Circles
Good company. Open hearts.
We sit together, share stories, and practice what we’re learning. Nobody has to perform. Listening counts.
Proof of a good evening’s work.
Workshops
The hands remember.
Resin, balms, teas, clay, drums. You’ll make something, get a little messy, and take it home along with the story behind it.
Field research, desert edition.
Classes
Questions welcome.
The plants, the practices, and where they come from. Bring a notebook, and the question your abuela never got around to answering.
Copal, a quiet afternoon, and whoever wants to learn.
WHY I GATHER PEOPLE
Learning is medicine.
The best lessons I ever got didn’t come from a classroom. They came from my parents, my elders, my teachers, and a lot of people saying, “Come here. Let me show you.”
That’s what these gatherings are for. We learn in right relationship: with each other, with the land and the plants, with the ones who came before us, and with the sacred. In my practice, that means honoring the four directions, Grandfather Sky and the Star Nation, Mother Earth, and the direction of the Heart.
La Cultura Cura. Culture heals.
A FEW PRACTICAL THINGS
Before you wander over.
Where do we meet?
Somewhere in Las Vegas. I’ll send the exact address and arrival details to registered guests about 48 hours before we gather.
Do I need experience?
None. Materials are included, and curiosity does the rest.
What about access?
Ask me about the space, seating, copal smoke, or language before you register, and I’ll tell you honestly what to expect. En español también.
Still have questions?
Good. I ask a lot of them myself. Text me at 725-724-8889 or send me a note.
UNTIL WE MEET AROUND THE FIRE
Bring your questions. I’ll tend the fire.
And yes, you may ask what’s in the pot.
