-
- Sociedad y cultura
How many times have you said to yourself, “I’m Spiritual, Not Religious.” My very Catholic mother, likely cringes every time she hears me say it, but I’ve found that as my life evolves and I become more of myself - I’ve wanted to be connected to my Christian faith and the depth and breadth of the Universe. In Episode 11, I’m proud to welcome my dear friend, Juliana creator of the ALUNA Method, to the Iced Coffee Confessions. She inspired my quest to reclaim my Feminine Essence over dinner several moons ago, and in this episode we talk about the part of that journey that is owning all that is DIVINE about you. From the P-word and I do mean Patriarchy, to Luna’s own journey to honoring all that is divine about herself, to how to actually manifest the reality you want, to tips for actually becoming still during our current Quarantine reality - I loved every single second of this conversation, and I hope that you do too!!
More about Yemisi “Juliana” Luna:
Yemisi "Juliana" Luna is on a journey as a multidisciplinary artist, leader, mentor and narratorial creator whose mission is to empower women through movement, ancestral awareness, and intuitive knowledge.
Luna is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but currently traveling the world designing shared experiences for people of every background. Through her studies and research Luna created The ALUNA method. A system for holistic understanding of our emotional bodies through a lunar perspective.Through this perspective she bridges people together and allows their stories to bloom. Luna brings forth to our contemporary world the creative power present in inhabiting our bodies with confidence, awareness and compassion.
In May 2015 she was invited to go on a trip to reconnect with her ancestral roots where a DNA test revealed that her ancestors come from Nigeria, more precisely, the Yoruba nation.
As the co-founder of the Instagram-based movement Project Tribe, which moto read “your crown inspires”, she used social media to fuel an entire wave of identity awareness. She also learned that the knowledge about her ancestry proved to be a turning point in her personal narrative.
Later Luna created the Yemisi Experience: a program that brings Yoga, head wrapping, writing, intuitive movement and conversations around identity and belonging as a channel of connectivity for individuals to bond with themselves fostering a holistic environment.
Today, Luna uses her art to empower not only the next generation of Afro-Brazilians but also the next generation of women to be confident in where they come from and the stories they’re meant to tell.
