Find your Comunidad, Decolonize YOUR FAMILIA, & Liberate Your Lineage

Bienvenidos a Escuelita! Welcome to Escuelita!

Escuelita is the dedicated learning space within our NEW membership community, El Pueblito. Inside Escuelita you can get access to all of our public workshops, courses, trainings, and events. It’s the place where you can watch replays of the offerings you signed up for, but most importantly, it’s the place where you can engage in discussion and build communidad with other cycle breakers like you.
WHEN WE COME TOGETHER TO LEARN IN COMUNIDAD WE CAN DECOLONIZE OUR FAMILIAS, MAKE AMISTADES, & LIBERATE OUR LINEAGES
People learn best in community, en círculo, in collective. Our shared stories, experiences, insights, and learnings can deepen our learning and support us to take action on the new concepts we’ve been learning.

That’s why we added a community component to each of our offerings and gathered them within Escuelita inside our community space hosted within the Circle platform.

We're so happy you're here. ❤️

Gratitude from past workshop participants

“This is a big step in our parenting journey and also in supporting each other's healing...”

"...Thank you for doing this work. My husband and I really enjoyed the workshop and we are planning on purchasing the parenting series. I want to share the sort of debriefing conversation we had after we attended this workshop. Prior to the workshop my husband and I took our pup to his first group training class. During the class, I can tell my husband was tense and had moments of frustration when our pup was not calm or obedient (our dog is still excitable and very energetic). Unfortunately, like many of us, my husband was not taught the tools to process frustration in a healthy way or to be aware of when his nervous system is being activated. Instead, he was taught to suppress, suppress, suppress! After the workshop, we made the connection that he will be similarly triggered and frustrated when parenting. We recalled the pyramid (reflect, set intention, information, resources...) and how he can practice being more present with himself and start to acknowledge feelings as they come up. This is a big step in our parenting journey and also in supporting each other's healing. We are expecting our first baby in January 2023 and we are excited to continue learning and preparing in ways our inner niño and niña wish our parents were able to."
— Connie P.

"CONNECTING WITH FELLOW PARENTS...IN A SUPPORTIVE, JUDGEMENT FREE SPACE WAS AN ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHT!..."

"...I've been exploring a new way to parent to break the generational cycles of parenting with fear but I couldn't find a book or program that felt like the right fit. The DNVP series has been an amazing way to really dig in, it provides guidance for nonviolent decolonized parenting with an understanding of the cultural elements that make this journey so challenging. The community of fellow parents trying to implement DNVP was amazing! Connecting with fellow parents on this same path, and experiencing the same struggles in a supportive, judgment-free space was an absolute highlight. I feel more committed to my parenting vision, I feel more confident in being able to communicate my parenting and boundaries to friends and families, I have a better idea of how to respond to my child when they are upset and having a hard time, and feel like I can be more kind to myself. This is a lifetime journey but I feel ready and motivated. I'm so grateful for this series!"

Gratitude from past course participants

“I have learned so much about my inner child and how to reparent myself...”

"...Doing the 6-week series of Decolonized Nonviolent Parenting with Leslie has been life-changing! I have learned so much about my inner child and how to reparent myself; about healing; and about parenting my children in gentle and responsive ways. I was also looking for healing my own historical and ancestral trauma so I could work on becoming the parent that my children need and deserve. I truly believe this series definitely helped me identify some deep wounds and gain skills to remain emotionally regulated, especially when my children activate or touch those wounds. I am so thankful for Leslie and the work she's doing to help us heal."
— Daniel P.

“Thank you for your advocacy and your unflinching refusal to condone violence against children...”

"...I appreciate your work so much. I am not Latinx but from another background deeply impacted by colonialism/ imperialism, white supremacy, and violence. Untangling how to honor my children and shepherd them to adulthood while honoring my ancestors and without erasing who we are is no easy task. For a long time, I felt like the only choice was to reject who I was and where I came from if I wanted to raise my children in safety. Your work inspires me that both are possible. Thank you for your advocacy and your unflinching refusal to condone violence against children."

THIS TRAINING IS DEEP SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY WORK...

This training is such beautiful work & gets to the heart of healing for so many. I am in deep gratitude and appreciation for bringing these lessons BACK to our hearts, minds, and spirits by reconnecting to ways that have been challenged by the traumas of colonization. As parents and clinicians, I appreciated being connected to our inner child to be able to show up in the world and healing work in a way that holds compassion and connection at the forefront of our interactions with our community we support. Being able to connect with so many amazing folks who are committed to shifting from a false "chancla" culture to one where everyone is honored with safety and well-being has been a long time coming. This training is deep spiritual community work. Thank you all for all your energia in bringing us together to continue the growth and healing that is inside our gente. We are the medicina. Thank you. Gracias. Tlazocamati.

About Escuelita

WHEN WE COME TOGETHER TO LEARN IN COMUNIDAD WE CAN DECOLONIZE OUR FAMILIAS, MAKE AMISTADES, & LIBERATE OUR LINEAGE

We believe that true thriving and growing happen in community. That's why our comunidad is so important to us, and why we encourage our people to root into a collective mindset. Our courses however, didn't address this deep belief so we had to do something about it. Escuelita was born out of our desire to create a richer, more meaningful experience for all of our offerings. Escuelita opens more space for our students and community members, like you, to discuss and connect with like-minded gente who are on a journey to decolonize themselves, heal their lineages, and create a thriving future for our people. We're so happy you're part of this journey with us ❤️

Meet your maestra

Leslie Priscilla
Hola, queridos! Soy Leslie Priscilla. I'm a first-generation non-black Chicana mother to three bicultural children. I’m a descendant of Indigenous Tarahumara Rarámuri and Spanish lineages, and I’ve resided on occupied Tongva and Acjachemen land, a.k.a Orange County, CA, all my life.

I’ve been working with children, caregivers, and familias for over 14 years, both as a teacher and through work with various mental health organizations throughout Orange County. But now I share my medicine with you all through Latinx Parenting, the bilingual organization I founded.

Latinx Parenting is rooted in children's rights, social & racial justice, and antiracism, and offers family education and support that is trauma-informed, healing-centered, amplifying of our strengths, advocacy, and culturally sustaining of and for the Latinx community and its allies.

Through curated and passionate content, workshops, and courses, Latinx Parenting supports parents, caregivers, and former Latinx children to heal their lineages, raise thriving future ancestors, and create more connection with themselves, their children, and their cultura. My belief is that through this work we can leave a legacy of thriving for our gente. I’m so happy that you’re with us on this journey!
