New 2025 Cohort!

May 31st - June 28th (5 Saturdays)

9 am - 3:30 pm

Virtual (Recordings will be available if you miss a session)

The Cihuapactli Collective is honored to offer a second cohort of the Death Comadre Curriculum from Saturday, May 31st, to Saturday, June 28th. Those who complete all parts of the training will receive Death Comadre certification through the Cihuapactli Collective.

The Cihuapactli Collective strives to be inclusive of our community. We hope to offer an English in-person training in August 2025, and a Spanish version of this training will be available toward the end of 2025.

When available, the Cihuapactli Collective strives to offer free and or low-cost services to the community. In these changing times, the Collective has been forced to consider new ways of sustaining itself. The virtual training is valued at over $2,000 per person, but for the second cohort, it will be offered at $500 per person. Payments can be split up into two installments or paid all at once. In-person trainings are offered at $650 to cover the cost of food.

Curated by Black River Life and Cihuapactli Collective

Black River Life Media is a love letter, a loudspeaker and an exploration of the many streams of Black life. We deliver news, information, documentary films, cultural events and community gatherings that highlight the African diaspora. We are pro-Black, pro-Queer, pro-Trans, pro-Immigrant, pro-Worker, pro-Abolition, pro-Reparations and in solidarity with all oppressed peoples around the globe, particularly in the Global South. We believe that land must be restored to its Indigenous caretakers. In keeping with Black queer feminism, we believe that the pursuit of safe, just societies means centering those who are on the margins. When Black people get free, we all get free.

The Cihuapactli Collective's purpose is to provide healing for urban Indigenous Peoples from the diaspora. This is done by sharing wisdom, connecting resources, revitalizing Traditional Knowledge, promoting and advocating for health & wellness. Rooted in ancestral and Traditional Knowledge, the Cihuapactli Collective is committed to inclusively empowering families by sharing of our sacred bundles.
