The Mother of Medicine Special Issue – May 2025

“The real and central question is, how do we clear the space, how do we convince enough women to own their own healing gifts, their voices of truth, their capacity to lead from their lineage of the love of the Mother for Her Creation? That arousal, through the retelling, the modeling, the reminders of indigenous wisdom and science, which are one and the same, is what we are doing in the Mother of Medicine.” – Stephanie Mines, PhD
