The Being Bruja Nature Walk (New Jersey)

Join us for a special walk in honor of (being released July 29), the upcoming book by creator of Mindfully Living with Z, entrepreneur and spiritual coach Zayda Rivera—a guide for anyone curious about ancestral healing, sacred rituals, and reconnecting with the magia within.

We’ll walk, reflect, and root ourselves in the land as Zayda shares wisdom from her journey and her new book.

✨ Meet author Zayda Rivera, author of Zayda’s spiritual path began over two decades ago, when a leap of faith took her from Connecticut to Hawai’i—and into a journey of deep healing and ancestral connection. After a 20-year career in media and PR, she followed her true calling as a Reiki Master-Teacher, intuitive tarot reader, and meditation guide. Her work is rooted in the sacred teachings of Reiki, yoga, curanderismo, and mindfulness, all woven together with the purpose of self-healing and remembrance. Being Bruja is the culmination of that devotion—a powerful guide for mystics reclaiming their roots and reconnecting with spirit.

About the nature walk: Join us for a slow, intentional walk through one of Jersey City’s most spacious and sacred-feeling green spaces—Liberty State Park. With the skyline and Statue of Liberty in view, we’ll walk under the open sky, root into the present moment, and reflect on what it means to be a bruja reclaiming joy, healing, and space.

Reclama is a reclaim themselves through hiking and journaling.

We want to make sure those who come through Reclama, no matter their lack of experience, have the opportunity to connect with nature on their own terms. It’s time we reclaim our space in nature to honor our spirituality and ancestral heritage so we can move forward as a collective.
