S2 Ep.1 Spirituality and Mental Health: Exploring Our Connection to the Divine with Pablo Orozco-Castro
Spirituality and Mental Health with Pablo Castro
Summary:
Claudia and Pablo discuss the connection between spirituality and mental health, particularly within the Latinx community. They explore how spiritual practices like eco spirituality can provide comfort, meaning and support during challenging times. Pablo shares ways to incorporate spirituality into everyday life and heal from religious trauma.
Key Points:
• Spirituality and a connection to nature can provide balance, meaning and a sense of purpose that supports mental wellbeing. When we sever our connection to the earth, it impacts our mental health.
• Simple practices like spending time in nature, gardening, meditation, and connecting with the elements of earth, water, fire and air can enhance spiritual wellbeing.
• Healing from religious trauma involves reclaiming our own spiritual connection with the earth and finding balance.
• Our cultural and ancestral spiritual practices are inherently intertwined with who we are and can be sources of healing.

Resources mentioned:
• Raza Psychology - Organization focused on eco spirituality and psychology https://razapsychology.org/
• Jose Alejandro Renteria - Researcher focused on Aztec eco spirituality
Final Advice: Get outside, connect with nature, listen to the voices of ancestors and plants, volunteer with land stewardship organizations.
