Care Chat with Leah Garza, part 1
In part one of our Care Chat with Leah Garza, she shares about her Akashic Record Mentorship program. Leah shares her perspective on the Akashic records from the perspective of non-dualism, and her teaching philosophy that allows folks to find their own way in to the records. Leah Garza (she/her) is a Los Angeles–based scholar, mystic, and facilitator whose work explores the intersections of decoloniality, ontology, posthumanism, and ecological futures. As the founder of Crystals of Altamira and creator of the year-long Living Systems curriculum, she has guided nearly 300 students across three cohorts to collectively wonder: if extinction is inevitable, what else is possible? Across all her work, Leah's approach is guided by curiosity, resonance, and the conviction that transformation can be not only possible, but joyful!
