Eréndira Jiménez Esquinca (she/they)

Eréndira Jiménez Esquinca (she/they) is a queer, Mexican-born, San Diego-raised human living on unceded Kumeyaay land. A lifelong student of Spirit, Eréndira’s work weaves art, story, and spiritual inquiry into practices that support transformation and liberation—personal, communal, and collective.

With roots in the decolonial and a love for the liminal, she plays at the intersections of the mystical and the material, often through visual art, textiles, poetry, and ritual. They hold an M.Div. from Yale and an M.A. in Spirituality from Bellarmine, and continue to move as an independent scholar and spaceholder.

You’ll find Eréndira curating Spirit School, playing with money at Portal, and holding tender, powerful space with others in the in-between.
