The Imaginal Journal

Written By Cristy

The Imaginal Journal is dedicated to sharing images and insights related to the field of depth psychology, the humanities, collective and self study with gentleness, humor, and humanness. My aim is to make depth topics accessible and practical by sharing images I am curating and in process with.

My offerings are to support, resource, and amplify our relationship to life and the unconscious by considering the deeper layers of experience, wisdom, and meaning through symbols, archetypes, myths, fairytales, film, music, art, writing, and poetry– in short through our feeling to the realm of imagination by referencing creative and insightful people and their gems on life.

I invite you to engage in the liminal space between psyche and soma, soul and spirit, light and dark, feminine and masculine, being and doing, space and matter, birth and death, self and other, that holds the potential for transformation, wholeness, acceptance, and alignment with life and our fellow sojourners.

Hola, Piyali, Hello! I am a queer Latina Chicana mestiza ((detribalized Caxcan/ Iberian colonial) mother, storyteller and decolonial somatic psychotherapist licensed in California with fourteen years of clinical experience in the field of depth psychology. My private practice, Imaginal Therapy + Sacred Arts, centers soul care and offers ketamine journeys. I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University, Pacifica Graduate Institute and the Hakomi Institute of California. I specialize in intergenerational trauma, healing the family soul for personal and cultural transformation, and psychedelic/entheogen integration. I work with clients in a holistic approach to connect to collective wisdom through imagination, intuition, mindfulness, embodiment, dreamwork and creative expression. My treatment focus is on relationship, cultural wounds, trauma resolution, ancestral lineage repair, animist parenting, kinship ethics, and reconnecting to the sacred.

I am a certified Ancestral Lineage Healing practitioner and also an initiated serpent medicine keeper and priestess in sacred arts with 8 years of training. As a ritualist and coach, I offer virtual mentoring and circles globally. I am steeped in my traditions, mythology, cultura and roots, originally from the villages of Juchipila, Zac, Mexico, born and raised in Tongva lands, Los Angeles, residing on Nisenan land, Sacramento. My lineage gifts are in storytelling, dignity, sweetness, relating to the spirit magic of bee, deer, maize, and cacao. I have been given the medicine name, Cloud Serpent. I am honored to reclaim reverence for my mother mountain, Tlachialoyantepec, a sacred site. I hold a vow with my people to live the repair, in service of the anima, mundi, the world soul.
