WALK IN YOUR MEDICINE

LIBERATION DOULA & WORLD-BUILDING COACH

GUIDING FREEDOM LOVERS THROUGH DECOLONIZING, ALCHEMIZING, RE-INDIGENIZING, AND LIBERATING THE SELF.

My practice is heavily informed by the profound teachings of Dagara cosmology and the spiritual wisdom of Sobonfu Somé and Dr. Malidoma Patrice Somé, with whom I have over 250 hours in practice and study.

My approach is a mix of Homegirl Next Door, Research Driven Mad Scientist, Artsy Academic Hottie, and Stand up Comedian.

My mission is to guide you through a journey of self-healing, self-initiation into liberation, and transformation.

I love working with those who society has placed on the margins, and placing them right back in the center of their own sovereignty.

I’m a champion for Single Mommas thriving, I don’t f*ck with spiritualities that don’t tackle predatory capitalism and colonialism, and freedom ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none.

Welcome to Our Village!

I’m Candice D’Meza (B.A., Black Studies; MPA), a previous high school English teacher, and current Multidisciplinary artist, theater worker, playwright, Spiritist, Arts equity consultant, and solo mother whose body of work places art, ritual, and spirituality in expansive conversation. My works have been exhibited, world premiered, featured with The Catastrophic Theatre, DiverseWorks, American Theatre Magazine, Playbill, The Acentos Review, Latinx Playwrights Circle, Colgate University, Rice University, Stages, The Alley Theatre, The Ensemble Theatre, The Contemporary Art Museum of Houston, The University of Houston Blaffer Museum, to name a few, as well as been interviewed by local and national press outlets, podcasts, and television channels.

Since 2016, I’ve charted my own course focused on my artistry as a full time creative entrepreneur while also single parenting. From being grant funded and commissioned to consulting work with arts non-profits and philanthropic foundations to gather qualitative data, draft accessible grant applications towards the release of $3 million in philanthropic funding to BIPOC creatives, my work has encompassed what it means to combine research and activism with artistry and innovation.

Now as Spiritist and Liberation Coach, I combine research methods, best practices and outcomes focused approaches with indigenous wisdom, decolonial frameworks, artistic practices and spiritual technologies to help you unleash your authentic medicine into a world in need of it.

For the Medicine People:

Feeling stuck in a world that doesn’t see your full potential?

Everyone came into this world with a medicine to unleash into the world. Sometimes, we need support in releasing it.

My decolonial spiritual coaching, with a focus on intersectionality, centers your wholeness as a spiritual being navigating the human experience.

Together, we'll craft a personalized game plan that empowers you emotionally, physically, and spiritually, helping you create the life you desire despite any oppressive forces.

For the Freedom Lovers:

Excavate your most liberated self with this transformative community focused workshop designed for freedom lovers.

Discover the powerful interplay of metaphysics, quantum physics, and African cosmologies to create new realities amidst oppression. Learn tried and true spiritual methods, inspired by Harriet Tubman, to enable and replicate miracles.

Join us to empower yourself and your community with profound, liberating experiences.

For the Self-Initiates:

Unlock your inner power with my transformative suite of spiritual tools, designed to elevate your journey. Dive into my e-books and self-paced workshops for deep insights and actionable wisdom rooted in indigenous cosmologies.

Initiate yourself into deeper wisdom and knowing with guided meditations, crafted to help you reconnect with your ancestral roots and find inner peace.

Multi-Layered Approach: All of us are shaped by the familial, the social/political, as well as the psychological and spiritual. Through liberationist pedagogy and spiritual technologies, we use spiritual tools to tackle the social effects of oppressive systems on the subconscious, to empower the soul to create new realities.

Multi-disciplinary Methods: Art is the language of the Divine, and Ritual is the tool of Spirit. Meditation, Writing, Painting, Song and Dance—we explore all tools necessary to help us heal and create new worlds—all served with a side of laughter and joy.

Combine this with scientific fields of study such as quantum mechanics, neuroscience, psychology, and we have tailored, research driven methods designed to fit you according to quantifiable research and indigenous wisdoms.

Intersectional Space: Women, People of the Global Majority, Caregivers/Parents, Queer, Immigrant, and Neurodivergent Folx – all these groups have specific needs that are historically underserved. Your experiences are embraced as the marker of your medicine; your traumas are not a disqualifier, and are held in loving witness and embraced in supportive care.
