Whispers of the Ancestors: Journey into Maya Healing with Divine Reads 📖

Hear the echoes of ancient wisdom with our next Divine Reads book club selection: Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer by Dr. Rosita Arvigo.

This sacred text unveils Dr. Arvigo's profound apprenticeship with Don Elijo Panti, a guardian of Maya healing traditions. Published in 1994, two years before Don Elijo’s spirit journeyed on, this book preserves the very essence of his ancestral knowledge. We will walk beside Dr. Arvigo as she learns the language of the plants, their medicinal properties, the rhythm of spiritual connection, and the deep kinship between humanity and the living earth. Dr. Rosita read her book to Don Elijo, his eyes dimmed but his spirit bright, listening as his life story is read aloud, swaying gently in his hammock. We will share in that moment, and relive Dr. Rosita's journey as his apprentice.
