Awakening the Sleeping Giant: Joy as Medicine

In this one-hour interactive workshop, students will explore joy as a powerful form of resistance during these challenging times. Led by the Brujas of Brooklyn (CUNY Professors- Griselda Rodriguez & Miguelina Rodriguez), this experience blends engaging discussion with a guided breathwork meditation to help participants reconnect with their inner power and awaken the “Sleeping Giant” within. This session is an invitation to remember the strength, wisdom, and resilience we all carry—and to use joy as medicine for these times.
