This program, developed with the support of the Spanish Cultural Center in Costa Rica, consisted of four facilitated sessions—one in-person and three virtual. In the first session, we conducted a participatory consultation where attendees expressed their learning interests by associating different body parts with the knowledge they wished to explore. Based on this exercise, we defined the themes and approaches for the following sessions.
Each workshop featured guest participants who were experts in the respective topics. We designed a methodology that allowed for an exploration of each theme from theoretical, practical, and poetic perspectives. The first session, *Ceremony of the Stomach*, explored food sovereignty through the preparation of fermented foods with guest facilitator Brenda Chaves from Huerto Sula. The second session, *Ceremony of the Trachea*, addressed the politics of voice and introduced some basics of LESCO (Costa Rican Sign Language), featuring Amanda Rodríguez, singer-songwriter; Joselyn Sancho, LESCO interpreter; and Leonel López, a member of the deaf community and LESCO teacher. The third session, *Ceremony of the Mammary Glands*, reflected on alternative ways of understanding health beyond the hegemonic medical system and engaged in the creation of genealogical trees. This session featured guest facilitators Elena Zúñiga, musician and singer-songwriter, and Roxana Ávila, theater director and founder of the Teatro Abya-Yala collective.
