Rooted in ancestral knowledge passed down through curanderas, abuelitas, and folk herbalists, curandera and Lead Herbalist Educator Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz invites participants into a heart-centered discussion of grief support with the plant allies that have long guided her through family loss, life transitions, and personal transformations.

In this thoughtful masterclass, we expand our understanding of grief beyond the passing of a loved one. Grief also lives in the endings that reshape us—divorce, migration, illness, identity shifts, and the quiet losses that often go unnamed. Felicia shares how herbs can hold space for us—not only offering emotional support, but spiritual grounding, ancestral connection, and pathways to renewal.
