Connecting with Spirit thru Indigenous Practices and Animals with Maria

Maria is an author, historian, teacher, and animal lover who grew up in the border region. She describes her traditional Catholic upbringing and cultural acceptance of indigenous healing arts which both shapes her continuing journey to connect with spirit in a way that is unique and meaningful to her.

Maria has an incredibly strong spiritual connection to all animals!  She gives charitably to animal advocacy organizations, consults websites that "out" animal cruelty and killing in movies so that she can avoid those media and also checks for animal-free testing before purchasing everyday products.  Tune in to hear this scholar's engaging story and how she chooses to make a difference in the lives of those without a voice.
