We recently connected with Jesus Garcia and have shared our conversation below.
Jesus, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We love heartwarming stories – do you have a heartwarming story from your career to share?
My heartwarming stories come mostly from my shaman & curanderismo traditions though community healing practices and plant guided meditations. Each time I am asked to hold space for various community groups, someone if not most of my attendees are moved by the experience and expression of emotions.
Jesus, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Jesus Garcia is a Mexican Shaman and proud Herbalist teaching the traditions of lineage work through botanical practices of curanderia and community spiritual herbalism.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
Other than my venture of education and skilled training; the most valuable part of my teachings are rooted in my ancestors. As a Mexican & BIPOC- 2 Spirit Individual, i had to learn at a young age to be guided in the abundance and healing of community circles that culturally protected our traditions. Especially the spiritual healing abundance of elder knowledge passed down from my grandparents.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One of the strongest lessons that I continue to learn through my work is to dismantle the pressures of expectations, we place much focus on what we are gaining in this American dream that we often forget to just be. This is why I strive to provide the healing magic to our children as a school teacher, to learn to play openly and connect deeply to the guided lessons of our elements, emotions and ancestors.
