Yuria Celidwen, PhD, springs from an Indigenous Maya and Nahua lineage of mystics, healers, and poets from the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. Her scholarship on Indigenous forms of contemplation examines self-transcendence and its embodiment in prosocial behavior (reverence, ethics, compassion, kindness, awe, love, and sacredness). She calls this work the Indigenous “Ethics of Belonging” toward planetary flourishing rooted in honoring Life. She is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, and senior fellow at the Othering & Belonging Institute.
