Italian Folk Medicine with Lisa Fazio - Part I

Lisa Fazio is a clinical herbalist, author, and folkloric witch trained in traditional western herbalism, western astrology, and the ancestral healing ways of her Italian immigrant family.

In this conversation, Lisa shares about being raised in an Italian enclave in New York, and her journey and practice of ancestral reclamation.  Kate and Lisa explore the simplicity and complexity of contextual cultural practice, particularly for people of European descent.  Lisa offers insight and guidance for deep and respectful relating with lineage, plants and place. 

This is Part I of a two part conversation.  Check out Part II here. 

Lisa has an academic background in Psychology and Ethnobotany but her primary learning has been through direct experience with plants, place, and the ancestors. Lisa teaches and writes about medicinal plants, ancestral connection, Italian Folk Medicine and Mediterranean spirituality all over the United States, Southern Italy, and Sicily.
