Curanderismo: Our Ancestor's Teachings
by Margarita Camarena, Curandera, Reiki Master, transcendental healing artist
"Curanderismo is a holistic approach looking at the body, the mind, the emotions, and the Spirit. In fact, emotions are considered to be where mind and body meet, and where the very root of our illnesses start. If emotions are left unattended they become pathology and eventually fatal, but it doesn’t end there; If emotions are taken to the grave as secrets, the next generations are to inherit this cellular energetic imprint."
This is one of four blog posts Curandera, Margarita Camarena will share over this 2023 season. Her work preserves, honors, and protects her ancestor's teachings. We are grateful for her sharing this series with us.

Preparing for Perimenopause
and Menopause
by Alison Williamson, BCs, CST
What are the basics?
The menopause is a one-day event that marks 12 consecutive months since your last period. The perimenopause is that time which can be anything between a few months and a few years when your hormones start to fluctuate as you gradually move toward your last period. We will look at the classic and less well-known physical symptoms that may come during this time, and we will explore the psycho-emotional shifts that are at the heart of ‘The Change’.
When is this likely to happen?
The mission of The Idea Crucible is to foster community and discussion for the next generation of bodymindspirit wisdom.
We cannot be whole without incorporating all of our parts. Our mission has a strong value for diversity, equity, and belonging as part of our educational strategy.
