| Sumario: | Women healers throughout history have cultivated knowledge about life-cycles, use of plants and connection with the spiritual world as ways of survival.

Belisa is one of these women who maintains her healing practice in the face of multiple forms of violence. She holds a firm belief that forgiveness and awareness are the paths to heal herself and others. Her life invites reflection on epistemic justice. |
