'During the first live call, Doctora Rocío led us through a meditation with our precolonial healed ancestors.
She said “they prayed for you.” I burst into tears.
I spent my life not feeling like “I was wanted” and that there wasn’t space for me in my family or origin.
No amount of therapy or anything else for that matter could touch this deep wound like her work did.
Nyck Walsh he/they
Dear white relatives,
I believe your precolonial ancestors prayed for YOU.
The ones who knew the Earth as Mother.
The ones who knew how to be in right relationship with medicine.
The ones who were severed long before their descendants arrived on stolen land. And they have been praying for generations that one of you would finally break the cycle & return.
Beloved, you are that descendant.
And answering the calling asks something real of you.
It asks you to unlearn colonial whiteness, not as identity shame, but as centuries-old colonial programming installed in your nervous system, your spirituality, and your sense of what is sacred.
Your precolonial ancestors are not asking you to feel bad.
They are asking you to come home, AND to stop the cycle of harm at your feet.
I understand that thinking of the harm your colonial ancestors caused can bring shame and guilt, and maybe even self-hate & isolation.
I am here because our Earth Mother called me forth to share medicine with you so that you can remember that you too are her child and deserve compassion as you unlearn colonial programming and work towards embodying integrity with all humanity.
I know that you hear the decolonial spiritual call DEEP IN YOUR GUT & SOUL, & want to make right the harm your ancestors caused, and that you unconsciously colluded with, so that you can show up better & deeper in your medicine, in your work, your life, & your relationships. for a better world for us all.
You want to honor your soul's calling in this lifetime to do your part in co-creating a better world for us all.
Decolonial Shadow Work is what makes this possible, and what no other approach is designed to do.
May you answer the call.

The Great Mother is calling you forth to awaken
from the destructive colonial spell
so that you can show up as a force for good in the world.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM
01
Your body shuts down before your mind can receive the history, today's reality, the feedback, the truth.
And, before you can even register it,
something in you tenses up, shuts down, and reaches for a defense.
This is NOT a values problem.
It is a colonial intergenerational somatic response.
02
The guilt cycles without releasing.
You understand your privilege. You know the history. And still the guilt moves in circles, never transmuting into right action, never resolving into harmony.
Because knowledge alone cannot heal the wounds & transform what live in the lineage.
03
Your practice has the language, but not the embodiment.
You use the right words. You have the "right" frameworks.
And Black, Brown, And Indigenous clients, collaborators, friends, and colleagues still sense something is off. Even if they cannot name it.
They feel what you have not healed.
04
Your current spiritual practice is not reaching
the colonial wound.
You meditate. You do ceremony. You do energy work.
But you feel like they don't reach the colonial patterns, the urgency, the dominance, the extraction, are still running.
Because love and light was never enough to dismantle what colonization built.
The white colonial capitalist patriarchy is your programming,
but it does not have to be your legacy.
You have been on the journey of healing.
And you still feel the wound of colonization.
You are a white healer, practitioner, therapist, coach, doula, energy worker, or guide, and you genuinely care about showing up with integrity. And so of course, you feel like something in your practice still doesn't feel fully aligned.
You are a white leader, founder, organizer, or educator, committed to collective liberation. And yet, the colonial patterns keep surfacing in how you hold power, build culture, and respond to accountability.
You have done antiracism work, diversity training, and equity education. You understand colonialism intellectually.
And you still feel the gap between knowing and being.
You feel spiritually hungry, drawn to Earth-based traditions, Indigenous wisdom, ancestral healing, and you sense you may not be in right relationship with the practices you are drawn to.
You are tired of the guilt & shame that cycles without resolution. You want to move through shame and into genuine sacred accountability, not performance, not self-hate.
Real change for real impact towards a better world.
You feel a call at the level of the soul.
A calling that has been building across years of your journey, pointing toward a depth that has not yet been reached.
Decolonial Shadow Work is that depth work.
Why Nothing Else Has Worked
You cannot know your way out of the colonial mind.
Most decolonial education reaches one level: the mind. It teaches your thinking.
It gives you language and frameworks.
But, it leaves your nervous system, your lineage, and your soul exactly where they were.
This is why the gap persists even in the most committed white people.
1
Colonization severed your lineage from the sacred.
When your ancestors became "white," they were severed from their own roots, their village traditions, their relationship to the sacred land. They gained privilege. They lost wholeness.
That wound, the spiritual hunger, the disconnection, the void underneath the success, has been passed down to you. It is why so many white people are spiritually hungry.
It is why spiritual tourism and cultural appropriation happen.
You have been reaching for what your own lineage lost.
2
Colonization installed dissociation as survival.
To participate in and benefit from colonial violence, white people had to distance themselves from it. They learned to numb, to intellectualize, to rationalize. This dissociation, from the body, from the pain, from the full humanity of those harmed, was installed as a survival strategy.
It is now running in your nervous system as your default. It shows up as shutting down under feedback. As reaching for spiritual bypass.
As the inability to stay present when things get politically and ancestrally heavy.
3
New age spirituality and mainstream wellness deepened the wound.
In seeking relief from the colonial pain, many white people turned to spiritual and wellness spaces that further entrenched the colonial program. The emphasis on high vibration, love and light, and hyperindividual self-care trained people to bypass rather than face.
To transcend rather than account. To "heal" in ways that left the colonial imprints fully intact. This is why white spiritual healers and leaders can be so sincerely committed and still unconsciously cause harm in every space they enter.
4
Antiracism education teaches the mind, but the programming lives deeper.
The reading is important. The history is necessary. And, it is not enough.
You can understand the systems and still replicate them. You can name white fragility and still practice it. You can be committed to justice and still lead from hierarchy.
Because the colonial conditioning does not live in your ideology, it lives in your body, your ancestral field, and your energy.
And only shadow work at those levels creates the shift that lasts.
Colonialism has always been spiritual warfare.
That is why the healing must be spiritual.
The colonial mind was not installed through education alone.
It was installed through ceremony, through ritual, through the severing of sacred bonds, through the persecution of the medicine keepers.
It must be dismantled through ceremony, through ritual, through calling back what was severed, through the medicine of those who still carry it.
This is what Decolonial Shadow Work makes possible, what makes it unique, and what no other approach is designed to do.
"For the first time in my life, I felt whole I felt truth.
I felt well, because I was able to see that there was a path to get out of the chaos we are in.
I realized that I too was creating and upholding the destruction I was against through the way I lived my life.
Dra. Rocio gave me guidance for how to create change in right relationship, how to divest and do my part, and take up my sacred responsibility to restore balance.
The needle of my moral compass, my intuition, has been reset."
Anne Gittings (she/her/hers)
THE MEDICINE
This is the work that reaches where nothing else has.
Because colonial programming does not only live in the mind. It lives at four levels and must be met at each:
The mind, the body, the spirit, and the lineage.
The Mind
We name and dismantle colonial consciousness with clarity, truth, and with compassion, seeing precisely how it operates in your healing practice, your leadership, your spiritual life, and your relationships.
This is where we begin. It is not where we stop.
The Body
Throughout, a somatic release of colonial conditioning is facilitated: the fragility patterns, the urgency, the dissociation, the dominance that lives in your nervous system as an inherited response. Not as your character flaw. But, as your colonial inheritance. And it can be released.
The Spirit
Here we call back soul pieces lost to the spiritual warfare of colonization. Reconnecting with what was severed when your lineage was recruited into whiteness. Reclaiming the sacred aliveness that was always yours.
The Lineage
Earth medicine rituals that work across time, honoring the harm that was caused, beginning to right the wrongs, and connecting with your precolonial ancestors who carried medicine before the colonial program was installed. They will join you on this journey.
What Makes This Different
This is not antiracism education that teaches the mind &,
leaves the body unchanged.
This is shadow work that reaches the somatic, ancestral,
and soul levels where lasting change happens.
This is not a spiritual practice that bypasses colonial wounds with "love
& light."
This is a spirituality rooted in truth-telling, ancestral accountability, and Earth medicine.
This is not DEI training that changes your policies,
but not your embodied leadership.
This is decolonial work that transforms how you hold power, receive accountability, and relate.
This is not shame-based work that keeps you stuck in guilt without a path through.
This is compassionate truth-telling that transmutes guilt into sacred accountability,
and right action in service of our global healing and a better world.
Meet your Teacher and Guide
Saludos Beloved, I'm Dra. Rocío
I stand at the intersection of ancestral Earth wisdom and medicine to navigate these times while planting seeds for a liberated future. I am a Mother, a Seer, a medicine woman in the Q'ero Inca lineage, and a Counseling Psychology Ph.D. — mentored by Black and Latin@ psychologists, matriarchs, and Indigenous medicine people.
For over 25 years, I have guided people to unlearn the oppressive programming of our modern society so that we can reclaim our wholeness, do our part, and birth a better world.
I do not teach from theory. I teach from lived experience, from wounds turned to wisdom, and from the medicine that rises when we choose to decolonize and reclaim. I have walked the path I am guiding you through.
As a Xicana/Mexicana raised poor working class, the eldest daughter of an eldest daughter of an orphaned daughter, I received many messages about survival. I was a psychology professor and psychologist until the colonial institution broke my body — I was so colonized I apologized to my boss from a hospital bed.
My own decolonial journey is the foundation of everything I offer here. I understand the emotions that come up when we awaken to the ways we are colluding with the colonial paradigm. I now walk with reverence for the land, for my lineage, and for the sacred responsibility of this healing work. I am grateful to my Elder and teacher from the Q'ero Inca lineage, Don Alejandro Apaza, who taught me to offer teachings from a place of harmonious frequency — so that we can restore balance and harmony to our world.
This is the vow I took as a medicine woman. This is why I offer this sacred work to you.
"Taking part in the Decolonial Shadow Work course was a beautiful and transforming journey.
It is so rich in lessons, medicine and healing.
You guided me back to seeing my own humanity.
It crumbled so much of the shame and guilt I used to feel."
Lucas Wirtz he/him/his
