This year brought several transformative spiritual portals, leaving us yearning for a profound bond with our inner selves. Perhaps you've delved into your inner bruja during moments of uncertainty, looked into horoscopes, or found yourself researching the significance of those angel numbers that keep showing up.
However, spirituality is much more than a quick internet search. As astrology gains popularity, we’re reminded that the Latine community has always had strong spiritual and wellness practices. Oftentimes these are passed on from our indigenous and African ancestral lines, making them a ritual that feels more like coming home than a newfound practice.
With these motivations in mind, we present a selection of seven inspiring Latina spiritual and wellness guides who offer a daily infusion of inner connection, inviting you to embark on a transformative journey enriched by their wisdom:
Brujas of Brooklyn
Dr. Miguelina Rodriguez and Dr. Griselda Rodriguez-Solomon are some of the most well-known names in the Latine spiritual community as they strive to educate and heal women using indigenous techniques. Known as the Brujas of Brooklyn, these Afro-Latinas are kicking down spiritual barriers to empower you to release your inner bruja.
