Guided Freestyle Hip Hop Sessions and Open Cyphers

Weekly guided freestyle, hip hop sessions are held Mondays from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Started by Abbey (and currently facilitated by Tiana), the first 45 to 60 minutes will be a guided session led by a different member of the dance community each week. During this time, dancers will collectively explore new drills, concepts, and ideas that we can implement into your freestyle. The rest of the session will be an open lab to exchange, connect, and grow together. Music that is played is typically hip hop. All styles and experience levels are welcomed and encouraged!

Guided sessions and open cyphers are different from normal classes and are $7 at the door. All proceeds go to Mi Chantli.

Writer’s Block

Every Wednesday at 9:00pm, we hold weekly free poetry writing workshops. Each week we have a different poet from the community come through and give us prompts an other writing actives for the first half of the night. Then we spend the second half of the night sharing our poems with each other in a supportive and loving environment. We hope to see you at Mi Chantli from 9:00pm-10:30pm on Wednesdays!

Grupo Mexica Tlahuitzcalli is a traditional Aztec dance group based out of Boulder County. Grupo Tlahuitzcalli hosts a Danza circle every Thursday at 6:30pm at Mi Chantli for other danza relatives and folks seeking to reclaiming their indigenous identity. People are welcome to observe.

Mi Chantli WTC Group

Starting Sunday January 12th, 3-5 pm – we invite all men and masculine identifying people to join us at Mi Chantli for our first session of “The Will to Change” – A Peer Support Masculinity Group.

This group is an offering from Mario Olvera and Evan Segura, two members of Grupo Tlahuitzcalli in Boulder, Colorado.

Using bell hooks’ “The Will To Change” as a foundation, we aim to build a safe container for men to explore their identities and relationships, both within themselves and within our community, in an effort to heal some of our collective trauma embedded in masculinity.

As we read, we will discuss topics and share our experiences regarding :

• patriarchal culture
• vulnerability
• emotional expression
• self-love
• accountability
• non-violent communication

We are only offering this first cohort to 15 people, in an effort to create an intimate and trustworthy circle where each person can share as deeply as they need to.

We will meet every week for 6 weeks, and then gather feedback on how we can offer future cohorts.

Please buy a copy of the book before January 12th (not from Amazon!!) or rent from your local library / audiobook app. A free pdf can also be found here : The Will To Change Men, Masculinity, And Love By Bell Hooks (z Lib.org).epub : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to Evan or Mario . Tlazocamati !

Mi Chantli “Mi Casa” grupo de hombres

Agendado para empezar el domingo 19 de enero 2025, les invitamos a todos los hombres y gente que se identifica como hombre a reunirse a nuestro grupo de apoyo masculino coetáneo “La Voluntad para Cambiar.” (En el inglés “The Will to Change.”) La primera sesión va a ser de 4 a 6 de la tarde (16:00-18:00) en Mi Chantli, salón de baile en Boulder.

Se le ofrece este grupo de apoyo por parte de Mario Olvera y Evan Segura quienes son dos miembros del grupo de danza Azteca Tlahuitzcalli de Boulder Colorado.

Se va a utilizar como base el libro de Bell Hooks llamado en el inglés “The Will to Change” (La Voluntad para Cambiar). La meta es crear un espacio seguro para que los hombres podamos explorar nuestras identidades y relaciones de uno mismo y dentro de nuestras comunidades. Va a ser un esfuerzo para sanar algunos traumas colectivos a raíz de la masculinidad.

Vamos a leer, platicar temas y compartir nuestras experiencias con respeto a:

• La cultura patriarcal
• La vulnerabilidad
• La expresión de las emociones
• El amor a si mismo
• La responsabilidad
• La comunicación sin violencia

En el esfuerzo de crear un círculo íntimo de confianza, va a haber un cupo limitado, para el primer grupo, de solamente quince personas. Así cada participante puede compartir tan profundamente como sea necesario.

Favor de comprar el libro antes del 19 de enero 2025 o alquilarlo de la biblioteca local o de cualquier aplicación de audiolibros en internet (Nuestra preferencia es de no apoyar Amazon.com). Se puede encontrar una copia gratuita del libro en el siguiente link: The Will To Change Men, Masculinity, And Love By Bell Hooks (z Lib.org).epub: Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming: Internet Archive

Por cualquier duda favor de comunicarse directamente con Evan o Mario.
