On the Use of Conocimiento and Our Work Together

The Conocmiento Coaching and Workshop Frameworks, developed by Brenda Sendejo, amplify the importance of self-care and soul-care for changemakers from historically marginalized groups serving their communities in these tumultuous times.

Conocimiento is the Spanish word for knowledge or skill. In our offerings, we use conocimiento to refer to self-discovery, soul inquiry, and self and soul care. Conocimiento is a process of coming into a new way of knowing oneself and hence others. It is inspired by the seven stages of the path of conocimiento developed by theorist and cultural worker, Gloria Anzaldúa.

We will integrate the stages of conocimiento into our work together. That is, a path towards integrating one’s truth into one's life in a way that is connected to the struggles of others on the planet, and the Earth itself.

The Path of Conocimiento by Gloria Anzaldúa:

“A form of spiritual inquiry, conocimiento is reached via creative acts-writing, art-making, dancing, healing, teaching, meditation, and spiritual activism – both mental and somatic (the body, too, is a form as well as a site of creativity). Through creative engagements, you embed your experiences in a larger frame of reference, connecting your personal struggles with those of other beings on the planet, with the struggles of the Earth itself."
