Liberation acupuncture and the road of recovery ahead
On the eve of the Coronavirus outbreak in the Americas, the Barefoot Acupuncture Movement’s Solidarity Immersion program travelled to Nicaragua, and gathering with a group of community workers and famers, we reflected on the question: How does solidarity show up in your world?
This article is an introduction about our work internationally to help build resilience for local groups like these in Central America to take control of their own healthcare.
Many thanks to HermanXs por Salud, Micelio Finca, Cinco Toucanes Finca, and the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association for making this immersion program a success.
