We invite you to join the Cornell Latino Alumni Association (CLAA) for “Five Key Lessons for Thriving in Every Area of Life,” a workshop led by Angel Orengo ’90 and Rocio Aquino, authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses. The workshop will guide attendees through the novel’s story and core lessons, explore topics related to healing, inner peace, and self-love, and allow time for reflection and curiosity. All are welcome to participate – regardless of whether you have already read The Orchid or are learning about it for the first time, this workshop is for you!

We look forward to you joining us at Mercado la Paloma, a vibrant community gathering space in the Figueroa Corridor of South Los Angeles. Special thanks to Joseph De Los Santos, MHA ’19 and Kim Cardenas ’17 for organizing.
