Familiar Roots: Healing Through Poetry.

The way your life unfolds is partly within your control. But often the generational patterns that keep us stuck are hard to break. So, what have you done to arrive at where you are today?

In her debut poetry chapbook, Familiar Roots, Brenda Umaña explores the subtle yet powerful question, “Who am I?” by first turning her curious gaze toward the generation before her.

The poem Mother’s Womb sets the stage — the place where all of our stories begin.
Through her bi-cultural lens, Brenda shares the various stages of self-discovery, love, belonging, and dignity, with each phase a new awareness awakens.

 

More about Bee

Welcome! My name is Brenda, or Bee. For over 10 years, I’ve been supporting people through the practices of yoga, meditation, and mindful living—practices that may seem external but are truly an invitation to turn inward.

As a writer and healing-centered facilitator committed to nurturing collective well-being my work bridges personal reflection and community care. Whether through poetry, guided practices, or healing-centered events, I create spaces that honor growth, connection, and the wisdom within.

You may have noticed the spiral in my logos. For centuries, the spiral has symbolized creativity, dynamic growth, and transformation. It has become a guiding emblem in my approach to personal, professional, and spiritual growth.

I see the spiral as a reminder that we continuously revisit familiar experiences, each time with a new perspective.

Danny, Founder of Guidery 

“You could say she helped me in every aspect of my business! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for intentional, mindful and tactical guidance when it comes to your businesses strategy & marketing.”

Savannah, Founder of Modern Career Project

“I took your class this morning. Afterward, I wanted to thank you but I had to run out. I wanted to thank you for an incredible class; suffering/recovering from lower back pain has been challenging but yoga makes it so much better. Your practice this morning was definitely as ass-kicker in the best of ways. And your guided meditation truly spoke to me, so much that I was not aware of the savasana transition and stayed in my meditation. I appreciate you.”
