Episode 162: Cafecito y Chisme: An Invitation to Conversation, Not a Session

indigenous wisdom podcast Apr 01, 2026

In this episode, Julia Carmen of The School Without Walls invites you to experience Cafecito y Chisme.

Cafecito y Chisme calls are free 30-minute discovery calls offered through the School Without Walls. These are opportunities to gain a greater understanding of Julia's work, and which offerings may be right for your Soul's journey at this moment. At times, there can be some confusion: these calls are not a reading, not a mini session, not deep personal processing, but a place to begin.

Julia has noticed that her own excitement during these conversations may sometimes read as pressure. It is not. It is simply an invitation and comes from the joy of connecting with someone ready to heed the call of their Soul Self. 

Julia also shares the origin of the name — rooted in how her family and community spoke, where cafecito (a little coffee) and chisme (the kind of storytelling and sharing that deepens relationships) went hand in hand. She closes with a reading from Black Dragonfly.
