Gala Narezo is a ritual and ceremony facilitator, artist, educator, and mother whose work is rooted in the traditions of Mesoamerican Curanderismo and Tibetan Buddhism. She weaves meditation, healing rituals, art, and reflective practices into her classes, circles, retreats, and one-on-one sessions.
Her work in personal, interpersonal, and societal transformation centers on guiding others toward healing and wholeness through nature-based practices, creativity, storytelling, and ceremony.
Gala’s Mexican-American heritage has allowed her to call both New York City and Mexico City home. She also spends time in Northern Connecticut, swimming in lakes and hiking whenever she can. Much of her teaching draws from earth traditions, Tibetan Buddhism and Mexican Indigenous practices. She is deeply grateful to the many teachers and traditions that have guided and shaped her path.
