Many of the most popular approaches to mind, body, and spirit wellness are rooted in age-old practices from around the world and come from communities of color. But more often than not, they are primarily marketed to and used by the cultural elite. In this inspiring conversation Jovanka Ciares, certified wellness expert, herbalist, and author of Reclaiming Wellness: Ancient Wisdom for Your Healthy, Happy, and Beautiful Life, reclaims these time- and science-proven modalities and makes them easy to implement for all, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, income, or social status.
