relatives with roots

Pacha Maia taught art as part of new program offered outdoors during the summer of 2021 by the Ojai Valley Green Coalition. Relatives With Roots was an art’s and education program incorporating education and immersion for children 7-12 yrs old, integrating local Chumash traditions and native plants with art. Maia is a dynamic teacher who can relate to students of all ages. She integrates 20+ years of experience in art and Earth-based healing practices into medicine art, installations and experiences for individuals, groups and organizations. Medicine art is created with the intention and effect of promoting health, healing and ecology. It is often generated using Earth-based healing practices and materials, honors the concept of narrative medicine, and uses the most sustainable media when possible.
