We will talk about the importance of honoring and reconnecting with our relations in nature, and ways to do that. We will finish by combining the use of plants, herbs, and special waters to sweep and remove unwanted energies from both the energetic and physical bodies. All materials will be provided. Bring an open heart and mind.
Ericka Zamora-Wiggin (Yoeme/Mexican) resides in San Diego and works as a counselor for San Diego Schools where she advocates for children and families.  As a practitioner of traditional Indigenous medicine, she feels it important to share the basics of preventive spiritual health care with others, especially other Indigenous and people of color who are seeking a return to traditional knowledge and ways of being in order to heal themselves, their families, and communities.

Friday, November 02, 2007 

When the hillsides and drought-dried forests of Southern California went up in flames, thousands of residents were evacuated to Qualcomm Stadium, the home of the San Diego Chargers.  Many came terrified, still remembering the images of the New Orleans Superdome, where in the wake of Hurricane Katrina two years ago, stories of violence, theft, and sub-human living conditions abounded.  But instead of a leaking roof, brutality, and neglect, evacuees were greeted with an abundance of food donations, internet connections, multiple stages with live music, and even free Chinese medical treatments.

What may have seemed an easy joke on Californians for the rest of the country, ("Oh, those wacky Californians still have the time for a massage and acupuncture in a time of crisis.") were actually seen as necessary services by the directors of the Alternative Healing Network (AltHealNet), a non-profit dedicated to promoting the use and accessibility of integrative healing techniques.  "We've been setting up 'Integrative Health Nights' for the underserved communities in Southeast San Diego and City Heights." said Ryan Altman, the founder and Executive Director of AltHealNet.  "It seemed a logical move to bring our services out to the victims of the fires at Qualcomm as well.  These aren't 'spa treatments' as the National media has been describing, but therapeutic, medical services just like any other health care provider would offer."

In close association with the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, (PCOM), AltHealNet went in to Qualcomm Tuesday morning to cut through the red tape – "We had to be approved by the Senior County Health officer on site, Dr. Buono, before being allowed to set up shop," said Geoff Barrett, Director of Community Outreach, "But after that we were slammed with patients all week."

On Friday, after Qualcomm closed operations as an evacuation center, we shifted our focus to treating the firefighters and emergency support teams who valiantly fought the blaze.  Barrett and the team set up shop across from the Gillespie Field staging area and in Ramona with acupuncture and massage services for the week after most other service organizations had ended their support. "We wanted to be able to help them in a practical way by offering acupuncture," Barrett explains, "initially in terms of stress management, but later for a wide variety of musculoskeletal, digestive and other health complaints."  In total, over 1,200 patients were treated with acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, and touch healing at Qualcomm, Gillespie Field, and Ramona. 

The Alternative Healing Network, also coordinates the annual San Diego Healing Arts Festival on the first Sunday in May in Balboa Park, bringing together music with exhibits, demonstrations, and classes in various healing arts.  For more information, please visit our website: www.althealnet.org
