Image description: HCC Mural, painted by former HCC Core Member, Keena Romano. This vibrant & richly multicolored mural contains images of traditional healers doing their healing work. Some of the healers pictured include a traditional midwife & a curanderx. The elements of water, earth, air & fire are present within the painting. In the very center of the painting is a "Hunab Ku." A black & white circular Mayan symbol, which is similar to the Yin Yang symbol with a spiral in the center.

THE CURANDERX TOOLKIT
|
|
|
In The Curanderx Toolkit Atava shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers readers the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people. The book includes guidance on herbal gardening, medicine making, dream work and more. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives.
The HCC would like to Celebrate one of our Founding Core Members and beloved relative, Atava Garcia Swiecicki for the completion and launch of her book, The Curanderx Toolkit. Among many other gifts, Atava is the founder of Ancestral Apothecary, an important and powerful herbal school that has centered BIPOC and indigenous plant wisdom, and offered BIPOC community a place to build a relationship to plant medicine through Ancestral connection and wisdom.
The Curanderx Toolkit lovingly mentions the Healing Clinic Collective in a portion of the book, speaking on our healing clinics and more specifically, the offerings and integrations of Curanderismo into our community offerings through clinics and our Network of Practitioners.
Congratulation's Atava, and thank you for this incredible contribution of wisdom to the world. We uphold your prayer that the book reaches all of those who need it and that it is good medicina for all who receive it.
