Dear Community,
I’m honored to birth Liberated Learning into existence as a living movement towards collective liberation. This work found me in the darkness of the converging truths: our schools are prisons, racism is everywhere, cycles of harm perpetuate, capitalism is crack, women and children need serious protection, and more.
As a first-year 5th grade teacher with high hopes of a classroom career, I immediately felt it in my body – the system was designed for us to fail, because we aren’t machines or slaves. The dissonance lived in my bones and I reached for more education.
A master’s degree in curriculum instruction began my unlearning. Research dives into “how do we actually learn?”, “how does community shape learning?”, and “how do we heal this harm?” opened pathways toward something ancient yet new.
Body-centered learning. Indigenous decolonization. Trauma-informed care. Transformative justice. Social-emotional connection. Community care. Culturally responsive neuroscience. Compassionate curiosity. Pleasure activism. Rest as resistance. Healing-centered engagement. And more.
I created Liberated Learning guided by ancestral lineage and Earth wisdom. A decolonized pathway back home – to what has always lived inside us.
We are catalysts for transformative justice and re-indigenization.
Awakening body-held wisdom to nurture healing through ancestral knowing and embodied practice.
By centering Indigenous wisdom, we foster deep connections to self, community, and Earth, inspiring reclamation and liberation.
Community continues to shape the offerings and co-creations. We’ve worked alongside:
CASA – National Museum of Mexican Art
VALUE-ALIGNMENT
Unity and Love ground everything. Unifying our lived experiences to create meaningful connections that nurture growth, ignite curiosity, and bring joy to learning.
We co-create spaces where everyone feels supported, where we cultivate community-care practices, and embrace our unique identities to transform pain into purpose.
Addressing our true physical, emotional, and soul needs empowers us to feel connected to life.
I feel blessed to witness a time when we can access knowledge, skills, and tools for empowerment. My friend, it’s time to act on that empowerment. We can practice choosing freedom and ways of being that connect mind-body-soul.
It takes courage, honesty, compassion, acceptance, and trust. This kind of healing takes us to deeper freedom.
Liberated Learning stands for the right of every person to exist authentically.
The freedom to think critically and explore passions, to access meaningful learning. This level of freedom breaks barriers, celebrates unique gifts and natural expression.
This work carries momentum. It aims to empower generations of leaders, healers, problem solvers, and dreamers.
Education must liberate. Spaces where healed people who heal people create the world they wish to inhabit.
Let’s Remember → Reclaim → Liberate
With fire and love,
Dahlia
