River Alchemy of Creative Arts

This week, we’re leaning into breath as our anchor and community as our pulse. Come take a class and get a chance to exhale what’s heavy and feel the rhythm of community in motion.

So many ways to not only support the studio this week but also the creators of the space!!!

Find EB Mota opening the show Aye No with Teatro Audaz San Antonio!!

And Stephan Gaeth is in the show Dark Magic For Dark Times at Jump-Start Performance Co.!!!!

Also Sarah Joy Thompson will be leading her unique and powerful womens circle with Joyous Windrider on Sunday! Right here at River Alchemy!

And on Friday follow Laura Rios and community at the river in Breckenridge Park/san Antonio River for a water moon ritual!

We are thrilled to have finished out our first year in business but we are more excited to start our second year with so much support, love and community!! Big changes and new opportunities are coming to River Alchemy and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome our newest co-owner Laura Yohualtlahuiz!!

​​Laura Yohualtlahuiz is a 2 Spirit Mexican-born Xicana Matriarch of Tepehuan, Guachichil & mixed lineage, initiated by elders, family lineage & Traditional Keepers as Culture Bearer, Bgirl (breakdancer), Mexica-Chichimeca (Aztec) dancer & Yoga Nidra instructor. They are an anti-disciplinary artist whose artistic explorations include multimedia offerings, cultural organizing, and immersive performance art making that disrupts colonial narratives. Their work is an intervention to dominant narratives and braids narratives of collective liberation through storytelling workshops and community rituals. Their Afro-Indigenous futurist lens centers an artistic practice that transcends mediums and heals the collective soul wound. Laura Yohualtlahuiz’s vision as an artist is guided by the Zapatista movement’s definition of artists as “cultural warriors". Their interdisciplinary and performance based work is a testament of Indigenous art as a living legacy respectfully embracing Tradition while embodying liberation as the foundation of resistance and revolution. Celebrating Indigenous identity, documenting struggle, and proposing a world where the sacredness of our interconnectedness is the center of all our relations, expressions, and interventions is at the root of their art making pedagogy.

Check out some of their upcoming works and projects in the comments below.

Ladies, Femme folx and all called to their divine feminine.
