SKILLS FOR FUTURE FAMILIES were developed by Sophia Michalopoulou MA out of her experience and observations in therapeutic and learning environments with babies and their families, on land and in water. Sophia is the founder of AQUAGENESIS and combined a number of different modalities in order to create a fluid continuum of practices to support the entire experience of being born, with water.
Among other professional capacities she is an integrative aquatic therapist, a pregnancy and birth doula as well as a baby swimming and early year educator. Mostly it is her own personal process of remembering her birth journey while immersed in warm water, that has informed her sensitive perspective on how developing babies in utero experience coming into their new little bodies and Life on Earth.

A sweat lodge is a small, dome-shaped structure made from natural materials such as wood and covered with blankets or animal skins. It serves as a ceremonial sauna used for physical and spiritual cleansing. The temazcal, derived from the Nahuatl word “temāzcalli” which means “house of heat,” is a traditional Mesoamerican sweat lodge that has been used by Indigenous peoples in Mexico and Central America for thousands of years.
This ceremony goes beyond physical detoxification; it’s a spiritual experience involving rituals like prayer, chanting, and meditation. Led by a shaman or medicine person, the sweat lodge symbolizes a return to the womb of Mother Earth, offering participants a chance for rebirth and spiritual renewal.
Benefits include relaxation, muscle tension relief, improved circulation, and a deeper sense of self and community. The sweat lodge tradition, rooted in ancient practices, continues to offer profound physical, spiritual, and communal benefits today. Gabo Amezcua is a devoted temazcalero, anthropologist and artist, he is devoted to the medicine of the Inipi and holding space. Its an honor to have him hosting this together with Lisa L.
