in this episode we are introduced to one of my all time favourite interesting people Apab'yan Tew :)

We learn about the Kiche midwife tradition and the human pregnancy cycle calculation commonly known as tzolkin. We all talk about the war in Guatemala and a personal story of learning and discovering culture. This episode is amazing, very humbling, and dramatic!! compleat with a live lightning storm happening during our conversation!!(listen to the background) It takes a little while to get going but it has in it the most profound things I've ever learned about the tzolkin.

Enjoy!
