EP 35: Part 2 - Best Practices for Working with Indigenous Healers and Their Communities

Description
This episode discusses how worker-owned or community-owned businesses are the best structures for projects working with these indigenous healers and their communities. These businesses bring democracy into the workplace and harmonize with these healing traditions. The idea of capitalism is not native to the Americas. Although we live in a capitalist society, we must preserve these traditions by honoring them and creating businesses that are in harmony with them. Sometimes a conventional business is more practical at first, but our goal should always be to convert these businesses to maximize their value for these communities.  www.traditionalmedicinemiami.com https://www.instagram.com/traditionalmedicinemiami
