Sonia Ollin Tezcaquetzalli is a cultural educator and guardian of ancestral knowledge from the Mexica tradition. With more than two decades of experience, she studies and shares wisdom related to Mexica codices, the Nahuatl language, temazcal, pre Hispanic dance, and traditional herbal medicine - knowledge that has been passed to her through her lineage, particularly from her paternal grandmother.

She serves as the guide of the lunar dance circle Xochiyollotl Mixiuhqui Metztli, where she promotes the revival of ancestral ceremonial movement. As a primary school teacher, she integrates Indigenous pedagogies into contemporary education, including the use of nepohualtzitzin, an ancient Mesoamerican mathematical system, as a tool for teaching cultural identity, knowledge, and traditional science.

Sonia's work focuses on creating spaces for self reflection, cultural learning, and community well being. Her mission is to preserve, honor, and share the teachings of the Anahuac peoples in a respectful and educational way, helping others connect with the values, wisdom, and living traditions of her ancestors.

We excited to welcome her at next Tribal gathering 😊🙏

Through collective dance, rhythm, and the sacred drum, participants explore cultural identity, community connection, and inner balance.

Participants discover the meaning, symbolism, and philosophical depth within Nahuatl, exploring how language reflects the values and cosmology of the Mexica people.
