Movimento & Mindfulness Wellness Event

Too often, we deprioritize mindfulness as we juggle many responsibilities at once. La Alianza’s Recruitment co-chairs demonstrated how much they care about our members’ wellness by hosting an event to combat this tendency. The event allowed us to be mindful together and get moving.

Students enjoyed a free Lagree class led by our lovely Luis, and afterwards, got together to paint and drink smoothies. These beautiful memories were immortalized on canvas. We thank BOLD for hosting the class at their studio, Juice Appeal for donating the smoothies, and all of the members who attended the event.

Native Land Acknowledgement


We take a moment to recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin) (Hoo-Choon), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-Chen-yo) speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma (Muh-wek-muh) Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefited, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land since the institution's founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university's relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold the University of California, Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
