MINERVA ARIAS, PhDc, MPA, RYT-550, AWC
Minerva is a queer Afro-Latina femme who loves to create and hold space for holistic healing designed to get us free and break internalized chains, both individually and collectively. Her experiences as a priestess in her ancestral practice of Ifa and her explorations of the psychology of yoga, the philosophy of meditation and the science of Ayurveda led her down a path towards the creation of Roots Healing. She is consistently engaged in her own growth, truth-seeking, and becoming the best version of herself (for herself, first) so she can show up for others in a way that continues the work of dismantling generational trauma.
Born and raised in “the Heights” in NYC, to a Puerto Rican mother and a Dominican father during the peak of the crack era politicized Minerva before she even knew what the word politics meant. To say she is passionate about guiding her people to discover their innate healing capabilities, as well as understanding joy, laughter, and love as forms of resistance is an understatement. You can find her teaching a Sacred Flow™ yoga class, guiding meditation, offering Ayurvedic consultations, building ancestral altars, leading retreats and courses on the Sacred Ritual™, and working with clients 1:1 to guide them back home to themselves. A devoted feminist of the Diaspora and a yoga mat souljah, Minerva believes a new world is possible and it must be born from a place of love.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to embodied astrology. My name is Renee. I am your host here in the space. I'm a somatic educator and intuitive and consulting astrologer and I'm excited to be here with you for this special episode where I'm going to be talking about Venus and looking at some specific elements of Venus's current cycle and thinking about what these elements mean in regards to a longer |
| 0:35.2 | timeline and also an application to current events and our personal lives and natal charts. |
| 0:42.4 | So in the first part of today's episode, |
| 0:44.1 | I'll give you a summary of Venus's current cycle. |
| 0:47.0 | And I'm recording this on March 28, 2021. |
| 0:51.7 | And the cycle that I'm thinking about is going to take us all the way into |
| 0:55.0 | December of 2021 but even if you're listening far beyond that point in |
| 1:00.4 | space or time you might be interested in this cycle because it's definitely one to watch. |
| 1:06.0 | And I'll also be talking about how the current cycle ties into the past and to the future. At the end of the |
| 1:14.4 | episode I'm going to offer some suggestions for interpreting Venus in your own |
| 1:17.9 | chart and working with the next eight months or so, which again takes us into the end of the year. |
| 1:25.0 | This episode is also special for another reason, which is that it's a fundraiser and call for support. |
| 1:32.0 | So between the beginning and the end where I'm going to talk |
| 1:35.8 | about Venus I'm also going to include an excerpt of a recent conversation I |
| 1:40.3 | had with my friend who's a very special person named Minerva who started a very special project called Roots Healing. |
| 1:47.0 | Minerva has a background in sociology and public policy. |
| 1:52.0 | She's a yoga teacher, an iravitic wellness counselor, a |
| 1:55.6 | priestess of iFah, and currently she's also a doctoral student in psychology |
| 2:00.4 | with a focus on death, dying, and grief. |
| 2:03.0 | And Minerva is currently trying to purchase land in her ancestral |
| 2:08.0 | homeland of the Dominican Republic for a permanent home |
| 2:12.0 | for her roots healing project and this project I think is so connected to Venus |
