Healing Historical Trauma
Addressing the wounds of colonization and genocide through spiritual practice.
Centuries of colonization, repression, and genocide have wounded the Maya peoples. Spiritual practice offers healing - connecting with ancestors, reclaiming traditions, reviving languages. The calendar marks time for healing as well as ordinary life.
We heal by remembering what they tried to make us forget.
Tradition recovery serves psychological and spiritual healing for communities.

Maya grief is not only private: centuries of colonisation, repression and genocide are named as a wound, with ancestral practice, reclaimed ceremony and revived language as the stated medicine. Healing is framed as remembering what others tried to erase.
