Emerge New Mexico is the state's premier organization that recruits, trains and provides a powerful network for women and non-binary individuals who want to run for office. Emerge aspires to change the face of power, politics, and leadership in this country in order to have policies that are responsive to all Americans.

Hear from local Emerge graduates including Senator Siah Correa Hemphill, Commissioner Alicia Edwards, Mayor Pro Tem Guadalupe Cano, Cobre School Board President Gabrielle (Gabby) Begay, Karen Canaday, Renee Provencio, and Nancy Stephens. The program closely relates to Unitarian Universalists' 2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations; and 5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.

Bilingual Yoga for Health

Beginning with gentle warm-up movements that allow us to lubricate our joints and continuing with yoga postures where we stretch and strengthen the muscle groups. We will incorporate breath work that allows us to massage the internal organs and focus the mind by feeling and listening to the breath.

Yoga Bilingüe por Salud

Comenzando con movimientos suaves de calentamiento que nos permiten lubricar todas nuestras articulaciones para continuar con posturas de yoga, estiramiento de las cadenas musculares, trabajo de respiraciones que permiten dar masaje a los órganos internos y enfocar la mente al sentir y escuchar la respiración.
