Workshop B: Medicine for the Whole Person: Language of Spirit
Luz Navarrette, Hypnotherapist/Spiritual Health, Nation Guild of Hypnotists/Indigenous Elders North, Central, South America; David Escobar, Director of Programs and Operations, Multicultural Center of Marin
We are spiritual beings living in physical bodies. As babies and children, we are very connected to the realm of the unseen spiritual world. Our modern technological society leads us farther and farther away from our spiritual life. This disconnect leads to the illness of spirit, which presents itself as depression, anxiety, and sometimes diagnosed as a mental illness. The spirit in each of us knows why we came here and what our purpose is to be. When we learn and practice the language of spirit we become fluent and the knowing and purpose in our lives is guided and supported. This leads to more a balanced happier life.

Mi Futuro 4-Fold Mission
- Promote Mental Health wellness among youth.
- Inspire youth to pursue behavioral & primary healthcare careers.
- Support underrepresented & disadvantaged youth to pursue health careers to strategically develop a more culturally & linguistically competent healthcare workforce.
- Encourage total health by advocating higher education attainment, a key social determinant of health.
Mission in Action
In collaboration with Sonoma State University & Latino Service Providers,
along side community healthcare providers,
educators, and sponsors invite you to a
Healthcare & Career Symposium for youth:
"Mi Futuro".
This symposium is offered to ALL youth, ages 16-30.
However, the symposium targets Latino youth and is culturally sensitive to the unique Latino patient-care needs of Northern California.
Exhibitors, speakers, and workshops introduce healthcare services, internship opportunities, education and community resources
to support holistic health of each youth attendee.
The symposium will bring awareness of mental health issues, common and uncommon. Mi Futuro is committed to reducing mental health stigmas
and giving integrity to each student’s unique health path.
The event will expose youth to career opportunities in mental and primary health,
raise awareness of mental health stigmas in the Latino community, and explore the impact of mental health in primary healthcare
and the community beyond.
