    Care Chat with Leah Garza, part 1

    In part one of our Care Chat with Leah Garza, she shares about her Akashic Record Mentorship program. Leah shares her perspective on the Akashic records from the perspective of non-dualism, and her teaching philosophy that allows folks to find their own way in to the records. Leah Garza (she/her) is a Los Angeles–based scholar, mystic, and facilitator whose work explores the intersections of decoloniality, ontology, posthumanism, and ecological futures. As the founder of Crystals of Altamira and creator of the year-long Living Systems curriculum, she has guided nearly 300 students across three cohorts to collectively wonder: if extinction is inevitable, what else is possible? Across all her work, Leah's approach is guided by curiosity, resonance, and the conviction that transformation can be not only possible, but joyful! You can learn more about Leah at www.crystalsofaltamira.com  Support us - Support QS.
