Gratitude

Here I offer experiences and things I am grateful for, as a practice in gratitude and mindfulness:

Rancho Palos Verdes and insights offered a hotblooded artist.

Mediation on offering more joy to someone who already fortunate ( little counter-intuitive but a rich experience).

A nice grounding lunch with my husband and the courage to say I’m sorry and I was wrong after a disagreement. Rewarding myself with cookies and coffee.

Time with my family, my mom’s homemade candies, introducing my dad to ideas about alchemy, and my niece finding a new love for drawing and poetry. Noting that all artist start off by copying and it leads us to finding our own voice and style. Visiting my aunt and uncle on their mutual birthday. Admiring my aunt’s narcissus flowers and her Aquarius and St. Judas rings.

Walking around galleries at the Hammer.

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.
