Millennial Latinxs Reconnect with Ancestral Wisdom
Dr. Lauren Frances Guerra and Stephen R. DiTrolio Coakley get to the roots of the matter
In this Open Plaza Podcast, Stephen Rocco DiTrolio talks to Dr. Lauren Frances Guerra about how millennial Latinxs attempt to decolonize their spiritual lives through Curanderismo, Santería, and Brujería. Young Latinxs have rediscovered and reconnected with ancestral wisdom through a broad range of spiritual practices. While many Latinxs feel a continued sense of ambivalence towards organized religion, the desire for spiritual connection and community remains. This movement highlights the complexity and syncretic nature of Latinx faith.
