Be introduced to the wisdom and practices of traditional, indigenous healers who combine the environment's natural resources with their own inner guidance. Some of their methods have been handed down through generations; others are blended with their own artful innovations. You will learn about the healing resources of the rain forest, meet traditional healing practitioners of western Belize, learn about the role played by natural healing in Belizean culture, and help natural healers of Belize maintain a high professional standing in their community.
