Memphis has always been a place of resilience, culture, and community.

At Nepantla Center, we believe healing is strengthened when we honor the wisdom people carry from their families, communities, histories, and traditions. While our roots are grounded in Latinx and Indigenous ways of knowing, our vision has always been broader—to create spaces where people from all backgrounds can be seen, heard, and healed.

We believe there is much to learn from one another, and that healing is deepest when we build it together.

🌱 Something is taking root in Memphis and moving beyond. We hope you'll grow with us.

LPL) - Los habitantes de Memphis tendrán este jueves por la noche la oportunidad de disfrutar de uno de los espectáculos astronómicos más llamativos del año: un eclipse lunar parcial que hará que gran parte de la Luna quede cubierta por la sombra de la Tierra.

El fenómeno comenzará poco después de las 8:20 p.m., aunque en ese momento el cambio será difícil de apreciar. La parte más visible del eclipse comenzará alrededor de las 9:33 p.m., cuando la sombra más oscura de la Tierra empiece a cubrir la superficie lunar.

El momento más espectacular llegará a las 11:12 p.m., cuando el eclipse alcance su punto máximo en Memphis. En ese momento, aproximadamente 93% de la Luna estará dentro de la sombra terrestre, lo que podría darle una apariencia rojiza, cobriza o anaranjada.

El fenómeno podrá observarse a simple vista y no será necesario utilizar telescopio ni ningún equipo especial. Para disfrutarlo mejor, se recomienda buscar un lugar con una vista despejada del cielo y poca iluminación artificial.

Durante el máximo, la Luna estará hacia el sureste, a unos 38 grados sobre el horizonte, ofreciendo buenas condiciones para observarla desde Memphis.

Después del máximo, la sombra comenzará a retirarse lentamente. La fase parcial terminará a las 12:51 a.m. del viernes, mientras que el eclipse completo concluirá alrededor de las 2:01 a.m.

El evento coincide además con la Luna llena de agosto, conocida como la Luna del Esturión.

Así que, si las condiciones del cielo lo permiten, esta noche será una buena oportunidad para salir, mirar hacia el cielo y disfrutar en familia de un espectáculo que podrá verse desde prácticamente todo Memphis.

One idea from my Rhodes College presentation, From Survival to Liberation: Decolonizing Latinx Health and Healing, continues to shape my work every day.

Nepantla is the threshold—the in-between space where old ways of understanding ourselves no longer fit and new possibilities are still emerging. Rather than seeing uncertainty, disorientation, or identity shifts as pathology, what if we understood them as part of the natural ecology of healing, growth, and becoming?

That question continues to guide the vision of Nepantla Center. 🌱

Nepantla is the threshold—the space between what was and what is becoming.

Most of us have lived there at some point: between identities, relationships, careers, cultures, or ways of understanding ourselves. It isn't a place to fear—it's often where the deepest healing, growth, and transformation begin.

🌱 Welcome to Nepantla Center.
