  • Our work serves creative people with sensitive bodyminds, courageous hearts and radical politics. They are deeply passionate about climate justice, trans and queer rights, and reparations for historical injustices. They are driven by a desire to create a more equitable and just world. They believe in progressive values and are actively engaged in causes that align with these beliefs. This passion stems from a strong sense of empathy and a commitment to leaving this planet better than they found it.

    Who we serve

  • Epigenetic Alchemy community members consistently experience these outcomes when they work with us:

    • Greater safety within their own skin and in the Epigenetic Alchemist community

    • Access to more energy (physically and spiritually)

    • A sense of belonging after being isolated for their principles and sensitivity

    • More confidence in their gifts, purpose, and power

    • Unblocked channels to their ancestors, their inner vitality, their intuition, and community

    So they can do things like…

    • Make art that celebrates Black divinity

    • Provide holistic care to frontline land defenders

    • Organize a presentation of the Gaza Monologues

    • Set boundaries with loved ones to enjoy the time we have together without collapsing into enmeshment and codependence

    • And more!

  • If you’re overwhelmed by ancestral trauma right now…

    If you need community…

    If you need 1:1 support…

    If you’re on Tongva land seeking gender-affirming traditional medical care

    • Book an appointment for acupuncture, herbal medicine, energy work, moxibustion, bodywork and/or cupping at Yo San University here

    • Book an appointment for bodywork + energy therapy in an Afro-Indigenous treatment space here

    If you’re an activist facing burnout…

    If you want to learn Chinese ancestral medicine through reciprocal relationship…

* All payments go directly to the clinic, not to Camellia. Clinic interns pay approximately $14,000 to work upwards of 900 hours providing supervised clinical care.

Reparations for a stolen spiritual inheritance

Displaced African people built the so-called “New World” on stolen indigenous land for European settlers’ profit. To perpetrate this crime against humanity, white settler societies systematically policed and sought to suppress the inter-generational transmission of African language and spirituality. While ultimately unsuccessful, this attempted cultural genocide is an unredressed violation with long-lasting effects. This book is an effort to connect generations through the voice of Afro-Brazilian lineage bearer Nancy “Cici” de Souza, an eighty-one-year-old priestess of the Yoruba-based religion Candomblé. The resident oral historian of the Pierre Verger Foundation’s community space in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, she has spent decades studying the culture of her ancestors. Her fifty years of initiation to the Yoruba divinities Osun and Obatala have earned her the title “ebomi,” which means “elder.” This book is the translation and compilation of interviews with Ebomi Cici regarding spirituality and history. All royalties go to the elder herself.

The Afro-diasporic religion reading list I curated during my research is free here.
