“I see much more of my own learning in this learning about Curanderismo and these practices. And not just the practices, obviously, but the outlook on life, the cosmology, the philosophy of how to live a right life, or in right relationship, because it certainly is much more than medical practices and rituals and remedies.” ~ Caroline Ortiz, MS, MPH, RN, NC-BC
