All materials included!About this EventEsta pagina corresponde al Taller #1 de la serie. / This eventbrite page is for Workshop #1 only.Los talleres serán bilingües (inglés/español) / Workshops will be bilingual (English/Spanish)[ESPAÑOL]La Comunidad Catrileo+Carrión, Caracol Collective y La Peña Cultural Center se unen para traer el *kimün* (conocimiento) del tejido mapuche al Área de la Bahía. Esta serie de talleres se centra en el *witral*: la práctica ancestral de tejido Mapuche proveniente de Chile y Argentina que transmite lenguaje, memoria y formas de vida ancestrales a través de generaciones.Más que una simple confección textil, el *witral* es una práctica colectiva de tejer relaciones, fortaleciendo la empatía, el sentido de pertenencia y la comunidad a través de las diásporas. Dirigida por los tejedores mapuche Antonio Catrileo y Manuel Carrión, esta propuesta comparte un enfoque decolonial y de "dos espíritus" (*two-spirit*) hacia el tejido, honrando la tierra, a los ancestros y la diversidad de identidades de género. El *witral* se convierte así en un espacio de sanación, conexión e intercambio de saberes intergeneracionales.Esta serie cuenta con el apoyo de la iniciativa cultural Caracol Collective —liderada por Natalia Neira—, la cual ofrece caminos hacia la sabiduría interior y ancestral a través del coaching y la revitalización cultural.[ENGLISH]Comunidad Catrileo+Carrión, Caracol Collective & La Peña come together to bring Mapuche weaving kimün (knowledge) to the Bay Area with a FREE lecture and a series of three hands-on weaving workshops –with all materials included!This workshop series centers witral—the ancestral Mapuche weaving practice from Chile and Argentina that carries language, memory, and lifeways across generations. More than textile-making, witral is a collective practice of weaving relationships—strengthening empathy, belonging, and community across diasporas.Led by Mapuche weavers Antonio Catrileo and Manuel Carrión, this offering shares a two-spirit, decolonial approach to weaving that honors land, ancestors, and the diversity of gender identities. Witral becomes a space for healing, connection, and intergenerational knowledge sharing.This series is supported by the cultural initiative Caracol Collective, led by Natalia Neira, which offers pathways to inner and ancestral wisdom through coaching & cultural revitalization.—SESIONES / SESSIONS:Encuentro Introductorio (Charla y Taller #`1) / Introductory Gathering (Lecture + Workshop #1) – Domingo 26 de abril de 2026 / Sunday, April 26, 2026Un punto de entrada accesible para quienes sienten curiosidad por aprender, conectar y dar sus primeros pasos. / An accessible entry point for those curious to learn, connect, and begin.Charla / Lecture: 5:30 PM – 7:15 PM | Gratis / FREETaller / Workshop: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM | $10-50 | Materiales includos / All materials included.Los participantes podrán / Participants will:Aprender el contexto cultural e histórico del *witral* / Learn the cultural and historical context of witralInteractuar con los textiles a través del tacto y la observación / Engage with textiles through touch and observationCrear una cuerda tradicional como primera práctica manual / Create a traditional rope as a first hands-on practice——Talleres de Aprendizaje Continuo (Taller #2 y #3 - cupo limitado) / Continued Learning Workshops (Workshops #2 and #3 - space is limited)Fechas de continuación / Upcoming sessions:Sábado, 23 de mayo de 2026 / Saturday, May 23, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM| $10-50 | Materiales includos / All materials included.Sábado, 27 de junio de 2026 / Saturday, June 27, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM | $10-50 | Materiales includos / All materials included.IMPORTANTE : La inscripcíón para los proximos talleres se hará en persona en La Peña después del taller #1, el 26 de abril.
