Community health addresses well-being holistically, taking into consideration the soil, the water, how things are grown, and the plants available in our ecosystem, and all of the factors affecting our health. Our work with women from organized communities centers their shared experience and knowledge in order to build a foundation for health that is rooted in the richness of their own territory. Workshops focus on prevention, nutrition and the crafting and use of herbal remedies. Through understanding and practice with the plants that surround us, and the shared knowledges in our communities, we are able to take control of what is truly ours --our health.

The Leatherwork Collective of Oventic
Another glimpse at the production of collectives in resistance.
|
|
|
Oventic, Zapatista Caracol II , sits high in the misty highlands an hour or so from San Cristóbal de las Casas. There, right off the road and just beyond the primary school builiding, the leatherworking collective makes its high-quality leather goods -- baby mocassins, wallets, keychains, boots, and pouches and bags. You can find ever-revolving catalog of new products is available in our solidarity store, or if you are in Chiapas, in Sendas.
