VALDEZ, Daniel. The Path of the Priestess: Rituals of Power and Healing from the Sacred Feminine in Tijuana. Rev. urug. Antropología y Etnografía [online]. 2025, vol.10, n.1, e106.  Epub 01-Jun-2025. ISSN 2393-7068.  https://doi.org/10.29112/ruae.v10i1.2405.

This study focuses on the intersection of spirituality and health, addressing the relationship between non-conventional practices and well-being, particularly within women's circles practicing the sacred feminine in Tijuana. The research, based on a doctoral dissertation, explores how these women, dissatisfied with institutional religious and biomedical models, seek alternatives through spiritual training. A notable case is the Sagrado Femenino Tijuana group, which offers a course called Formation of the Goddess, where participants adopt alternative therapies to understand the body and emotions. The study examines the motivations and experiences of women who choose this training, integrating spiritual knowledge and non-conventional therapeutic practices into their daily lives. Through their personal trajectories, it is revealed how these women connect their bodies and emotions with alternative therapies, transcending traditional health conceptions. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to the understanding of the relationship between spirituality and health in non-conventional contexts. By exploring the individual and collective narratives of women involved in these circles, this work provides a deeper understanding of how these practices respond to the limitations of institutional models, enriching the academic and social dialogue on these topics.
