this blog and my work is dedicated to the flower songs that teach me how to live, love, and organize like the flowers do.
Visit my website: Agua Dulce Healing
Agua Dulce (Guadalupe) Chavez, (they/them, she/her), MFT, has been studying flower and plant spirit medicine since 2009 as an apprentice to their teacher Queen Hollins and to the earth herself in Tongva, Choctaw, and Taino lands. Agua Dulce believes that our healing and organizing is directly connected to our relationship with the earth. Agua Dulce is a fierce believer in healing justice and transformative justice as strategies towards building a world without borders and cages. They spend much of their time organizing healers into movement work focused on liberation and justice for LGBTQI+, Brown, Black, and communities historically underemployed and unhoused. Currently Agua Dulce is the Healing Justice Director for the Anti Police Terror Project (APTP), where she is building out a California statewide Healers Network. Also through APTP and Justice Teams Network (JTN) they have been invited to train communities across the Unites States in Healing Justice principles, practice, and strategies. Guadalupe is most excited about sharing sacred medicine making and earth based rituals as an essential part of Abolitionist movements. Agua Dulce has a private practice where she weaves together earth-based spiritual rituals and tools, plant medicine, and talk therapy. Lastly, for the past three years Agua Dulce has been co-conspiring and building with their beloveds a movement center anchored in Abolitionist principles, serving as a healing justice hub, and a place to practice and heal with traditional medicines. We are focused on weaving new legacies through ceremonial agroecology based in Borikén (Puerto Rico), causing ripple effects across the Caribbean and beyond.
Who am I
Parent to a fire-y 10 year old; flower apprentice, gardener, plant medicine maker; Marriage and Family Therapist; my politics and work- healing and transformative justice as strategies to reach abolition.
What is this space?
A public space to share reflections/lessons on plant life, earth medicine, and Abolition.
Why did I create flower songs?
After many years of intentionally building with the earth, i.e. growing food & medicine + apprenticing my Elder and 20+ years of engaging political and social movements, I feel an urgency to call us back to the earth for lessons on how we can organize sustainable and thriving communities.
