Our Story
About Casa Caracol
Community healing and liberation, rooted in culture and held in care.
Founder & Community Weaver
Ana Miriam
Ana Miriam (she/they) is a queer Chicana community weaver, healer, and liberation worker. Born from a lineage of women who healed in the margins, she has spent over a decade building spaces where communities can grieve, rest, rage, and imagine together.
Casa Caracol grew from a simple question: what would it look like for our communities to heal collectively, not just survive individually? Opened in November 2025, Casa Caracol is her answer — a living experiment in community care.
Ana Miriam's work draws from healing justice frameworks, Chicana feminist theory, somatic practice, and indigenous ceremonial traditions. She brings cultural specificity and political analysis to every space she holds.
She facilitates workshops, leads retreats across the Americas, and offers coaching, consulting, and speaking engagements to organizations and individuals ready to do deep work.
Our Mission
"Casa Caracol exists to create conditions for communities to heal, connect, and imagine liberation together."
We believe healing is collective. We believe rest is resistance. We believe culture is medicine. And we believe our communities deserve spaces that reflect that.
What We Stand On
Our Values
Community Care
We are accountable to each other. Care is not a transaction — it is a practice.
Cultural Rootedness
Our healing frameworks draw from ancestral wisdom, not just Western psychology.
Accessibility
Sliding scale pricing and no-barrier policies mean no one is turned away for lack of funds.
Political Clarity
We name systems of harm. Healing without analysis of power is incomplete.
Embodied Practice
The body holds memory. Our work includes somatic, ceremonial, and movement practices.
Queer & Feminist
We center queer and feminist frameworks of care, consent, and collective liberation.
