Schedule Of Classes
12:00-1:15: Council w/ Joanna Aguirre
Council is the practice of empathic listening, spontaneous sharing, collective healing and practicing staying in
the here and now. Council (aka talking circle) welcomes all adults, genders and sexualities to share their life
experiences and process them in a safe space using the Council method. Council pulls from indigenous
methods of communication and Zen principles focusing on understanding and staying present.
Joanna’s Bio: “I earned my Masters of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family
Therapy in 2006 at California State University Los Angeles. I have worked as an Adjunct Psychology
Instructor at East Los Angeles College since 2008, and worked in the field of mental health as either a
Therapist or Clinical Assessor since 2007. I am affiliated with the East Los Angeles Women's Center, Corazon
Del Pueblo, Primera Taza's Community Space, and East Side Cafe as I have volunteered sharing healing
services and facilitate spaces for interpersonal growth through communal healing and active introspective
work.
As a cultural worker, I am passionate about communal healing processes that bring community together
through sharing collective stories using non-hierarchical group processes. My ultimate goal is to facilitate
introspective work that will help us move away from the dominant culture which operates from systems of
domination. The point is to create new subcultures that encourage introspective investigation as a radical act
against this dominate dehumanizing culture while connecting progressive politix with indigenous and Buddhist
modes of healing and relating.”
