The Dance of The Flower Medicine –
Danza Xochitl Pahtli

August 2, 2010 through August 6, 2010, Curanderos/ras from Cuernavaca Mexico will present at CU Health and Sciences Center, Metropolitan State College of Denver and offer two Community Health Fair Days.

Many of these presentations and health fairs are free and open to the public.

Presentations and demonstrations discuss health from the Curanderismo perspective regarding illness, causes, symptoms, prevention and treatment. Healing modalities include Meso American Sobadas, herbal remedies, sound & healing, laugh therapy and more.

Curar, means to heal and Curanderos/ras are “Healers” using ancient indigenous healing practices.

For many the medicine was reintroduced and for others it was a confirmation of the value and useful healing practices that are woven into the culture that were never lost.

This medicine is not defined by state lines, country border or categories but is an ancient health model that is as fluid as the Ancestral Love that flows throughout the universe.

 

Who Should Attend . . .

Many of these presentations and health fairs are free and open to the public.

Anyone interested in experiencing the universal power of ancient indigenous healing practices is encouraged to attend.

2009

August 2009, Estara Programs along with Metropolitan State College, Colorado University Denver and Jefferson Center for Mental Health collaborated in efforts to bring the first
Dance of The Flower Medicine- Danza Xochitl Pahtli event to Denver.

The week long event focused on the traditions of Curanderismo in the South West and through out the Americas, such as “Mexican and Native American Folk Healing”.

2009 Research Project

A pilot research project was developed, with Estara, University of Colorado at Denver, Denver Health, CEDEHC in Cuernavaca Mexico and The University of New Mexico.

The focus of the research project is to focus on “Developing partnerships to facilitate integration of traditional Curanderismo with Primary Care”.

The project will explore Curandersimo practices and consider which have strong evidence for efficacy and are consistent with allopathic best practices for primary care self-management.
