Send us Fan Mail What if the healing you've been searching for has been with you all along? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Erica Vigil-Flores—author of Healing with Dirt, nurse, midwife, death doula, curandera, and medicine woman—to explore the ancient healing traditions that have been quietly passed down through generations and why so many of us are now feeling called to remember them. Together, we journey through the rich cultural traditions of Northern New Mexico, the wisdom of our ancestors, Curanderismo, earth medicine, and the lasting effects of colonization on our relationship with healing, faith, and ourselves. Erica shares how reconnecting with the land, our intuition, and our ancestral practices can help us reclaim what has always been ours. We also dive into the sacred work of birth and death, the difference between religion and faith, the Witch Wound, spiritual gifts, remedios, and the everyday medicines hiding in our homes, our gardens, and our communities. Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or already walking a spiritual path, this conversation is a gentle invitation to remember your roots, trust your inner wisdom, and reconnect with the sacred medicine that surrounds you every day. In this episode, we explore: • What Curanderismo really is and why it's still relevant today • The healing wisdom of our ancestors • Colonization and the loss of traditional healing practices • Earth medicine and building a relationship with the land • Spiritual gifts and learning to trust your intuition • Birth, death, and healing through life's sacred transitions • The difference between religion and faith • Practical remedios for the body, mind, and soul ✨ If this conversation speaks to your heart, please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who is ready to remember the medicine within.
