Children are drawn to Kanika. She is a saintly teacher who truly embodies a Safe Presence.

What an honor to speak with her about her journey of learning how to arrive in new lands and be of service. This is not a typical conversation about how to be a respectful gringo. Kanika speaks poetically + lovingly, with stories from her own experience, on discovering the unique medicine that you have to share.

Kanika is the founder of Camino Canicas - a grassroots initiative focused on providing trauma-informed expressive arts education to build resilience in the Indigenous communities of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. 

This conversation provides a window into the consciousness of a person who is truly making a difference in such beautiful ways.
