Our Bohio in Samaná
There are no words to describe how invaluable it is to have a place called home. For many of us who were brought up as “Diaspora” have a different relationship and concept of our roots and culture. We are always somewhere between longing and searching and that isn’t very grounding.
Finding and landing in a home has confirmed simply by the amount of visitors and kind words shared, that healing is equally connected to returning to the origin. Similar to our ancestors — we are safe to return.
Embracing our story, so do we leave a legacy for the future and present generations. They will say that “we still have healing homes - look!” and be able to go visit el Bohío. Share language, food and song as healing together.
This is a pivotal time for the island and for us to stand strong in sharing ancestral medicines — being in community.
Thank you to everyone who has followed along the journey.
