Join us for an intimate evening of storytelling with Dr. Rosita Arvigo sharing the stories of her life’s learning from Traditional Healers and Midwives in Mexico, Central America and her time with Don Elijio Panti, born in Peten, Guatemala.  The story of Don Elijio Panti and Rosita Arvigo, is an exceptional example of how two people from two different cultures come together and learn from each other and infused the world with insight and truth.  Their story reminds us that while we are not entitled to the knowledge of traditional peoples, over time with respect and integrity, it is possible to bridge cultures.

This evening of storytelling is fully sponsored by Healing Traditions.  To register please contact Beth Townsend, founder of Healing Traditions  at  beth.ann.townsend@comcast.net.

Registration fee is $30.00/ per person. 

Every day 800 million people experience hunger. Hunger for Change explores the realities of food insecurity in the United States and around the world.

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
- Mahatma Gandhi

This is an 8-week, prayerful process that includes study, rich dialogue, and an immersion experience. This process inspires change and action to fully contribute to ending hunger in our local and global communities.
