Join us for a special concert to celebrate National Forest Week and Latino Conservation Week with guitar virtuoso and composer Tony Silva.

Celebrate Latino Conservation Week and take a trip through time and across the country with Hispanic Access Foundation!

In every region of the US, on every coast, we find a piece of Latino history. Join Hispanic Access Foundation as they tell stories of shipwrecks, conflicts, and exploration from marine parks across the country to learn about our shared history, and what the parks mean to us today. You'll also learn about Latino Conservation Week and the fun events you can get involved in, and enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer from your home.

Celebrate Latino Conservation Week by participating in our Nature Therapy Event hosted by LHIP intern Cynthia Agustin!

Forest Bathing is a Japanese nature therapy artform that promotes mental health and wellbeing by unplugging from technology and connecting with nature and the outdoors. Forest bathing can be done in any greenspace that you have access to. It can be your backyard, a local park or garden, the beach, or even a grassy area. Once you are in the outdoors let your body do the rest, use all your senses to connect with the space you are in. There are many activities you can do in nature to unwind while forest bathing, some examples are: painting, drawing, reading, yoga, and meditation. Just remember to silence or power off your technology!

This event was created to be all day long for flexibility of participants, feel free to participate for as long (or as little) as you’d like!

Celebre la Semana de la Conservación Latina participando en nuestro evento de terapia natural organizado por la pasante de LHIP Cynthia Agustin!

Forest Bathing es una forma de arte de terapia natural Japonesa que promueve la salud mental y el bienestar al desconectarse de la tecnología y conectarse con la naturaleza y el aire libre. El baño forestal se puede hacer en cualquier espacio verde al que tenga acceso. Puede ser su patio trasero, un parque o jardín local, la playa o incluso un área cubierta de hierba. Una vez que esté al aire libre, deje que su cuerpo haga el resto, use todos sus sentidos para conectarse con el espacio en el que se encuentra. Hay muchas actividades que puede hacer en la naturaleza para relajarse mientras se baña en el bosque, algunos ejemplos son: pintar, dibujar, leer , yoga y meditación. ¡Solo recuerda silenciar o apagar toda tecnología!

Este evento fue creado para que dure todo el día para la flexibilidad de los participantes, ¡siéntase libre de participar el tiempo que desee!

As the nation faces the latest in what represents a foundational history of Black death and egregious violence by the police, sanctioned and perpetuated by the state, conversations are being held in our own communities. This work is specifically crucial for the Latinx community, one which, while grappling with its own painful and traumatic relationship with the effects of colonialism, witnessing and experiencing anti-Black racism is all too common. There is always room to grow, to learn, and there’s plenty of impactful work you can do, starting in your everyday life. Let’s dig in.

Speaker Bio: Thalía is an Afro-Indigena healer by lineage, educator, Earth worker, and defender of the People. Born and raised in Coloraztlan (Apache, Ute, Arapaho, Cheyenne territory), identity has been a journey of rediscovery, reclaiming, and decolonizing. As a person of mixed race, Thalía considers herself a bridge between her two communities (Black and Brown) and steps in to address, challenge, and heal lateral violence and conflict between these communities. A teacher and activist, Thalía is honored and humbled to share knowledge and hold space for others who are challenging colonial structures, perspectives, and systems. Thalía strongly believes that healing and education are equal parts to the liberation of our people and to the overall health/harmony of our planet, Pachamama. “It is an honor and privilege to be of service to mi gente and to bare witness to the journey of freeing ourselves of the chains of generational/ancestral oppression.”

Elevate Conservation, Outdoors for All will be a virtual panel discussion that brings together national conservation organizations, outdoor industry companies, and diverse community leaders and honors the intersection of outdoor recreation, conservation, and equity in the outdoors. As the event is happening during Latino Conservation Week, Hispanic Access Foundation's "I Am Cheo" video will be screened as a part of Elevate Conservation.
