“One of my most memorable experiences while abroad was visiting an indigenous women’s community center in a rural town outside of Merida. While at the center, I felt a sense of calm, with the embrace of nature, community, and healing radiating from the space and the women who worked there. It was an inspiring experience to witness the passion of the women running the center and their dedication to keeping Mayan culture and traditions alive. I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from them.” (2/2)
