Monday, June 23 🪐Valery invites us on a journey rooted in breath and ancestral wisdom. Through visual meditation and guided writing, participants explore the vessel of the self in memory, identity, and transformation across the landscapes of mind, body, and spirit.

Join us! RSVP link in bio.

Valery Mora is a writer, historian, archivist, and healing artist whose work lives at the intersection of spirit, memory, and liberation. She is a vessel for ancestral wisdom, weaving breath, poetry, and sound into ceremonial offerings that honor the lives, lands, and lineages that shape us. Rooted in reverence and guided by intuition, Valery’s creative practice serves as a living archive: preserving silenced stories, reanimating collective memory, and inviting sacred reflection. Her work bridges generations, inviting us to remember who we’ve been and reclaim our remembering. As the founder of Wisdom Woven Through Time, she offers ancestral storytelling, ritual design, and community healing grounded in a decolonial lens. Her presence is both invocation and invitation—a prayer for those who walk with memory in their bones and vision in their spirit, tending to the past as they shape a more rooted, liberated, and love-centered future.
