Karen Tinta-Chunvislla will be joining the Original Instructions School staff all the way from Apurimac, Peru as a featured guest instructor during our socially distanced Doula and Herbalism certification training programs during for our Winter/Spring 2021 program dates. Throughout her teaching segment in our programs Karen will be sharing her traditional Indigenous knowledge from her people (The Quechua Nation) in regards to herbalism and birth. We give thanks to Karen for being willing to share her wisdom with our students, and thereby giving them the opportunity to learn about subjects such as uterine massage, medicinal plants, and child rearing directly from her unbroken lineage. Our school is dedicated to preserving and sharing traditional Indigenous medicine practices surrounding the Plant Nations , well woman care, and childbirth in an authentic way that does not contribute to the popularity of cultural appropriation in said fields of study. Learning directly with Indigenous women from around the world via our online certification programs and classes is an excellent way to directly connect with and support the people from which these teachings are born. Because Karen speaks mainly Quechua and Spanish her segment in class will be translated into English for those who are not fluent in Quechua.
