Seriously enjoyed this. In fact I took all the curanderismo classes. I think this is not just traditional medicine but the wave of the future. This will become incorporated into our "modern" medicine and they will augment each other and greatly improve medical care.
A lot of written mistakes. Videos are not always clear, when it comes to a sound and translation.
The instructors not only passed on their ancient knowledge, but also their deep well of compassion which I imagine is developed through time and dedication to their craft. The classes were not only informative, and educational, but authentic and honest. I was moved by the sincerity and I am grateful for the opportunity to have such an intimate window into the deep roots of another cultural. This type of sharing is freeing and enlightening and I think you all for sharing this program freely on this platform.
I like to learn new traditions of healing and honoring the dead. I found that every where in world people do similar or their own ways to do healing and to honor dead. it is really wonderful to know that we are all one.
the course is wonderfully demonstrated within the time frame along with reference books to read and to view the videos to understand the practices. The demonstration done by true healers is really great and I cried many times during the course and felt healed in my heart.
Me ha gustado mucho este curso. He podido aprender muchos conceptos sobre los rituales tradicionales del curanderismo principalmente mexicano. Incluye también algunos conceptos para otros países que conforman la actual Latinoamérica (pero de todas formas, todos comparten unos orígenes casi común). Desarrollando algunos rituales he sentido verdaderamente la espiritualidad y he quedado fascinada. Recomiendo 100%
This class was a royal treat! This class offers so much more beyond the classroom: Even while taking this class I felt lighter and my mind became more clear. Finishing this course in 2 days was nothing short of the amazing content and information that was provided. I am interested in more classes such as this and I'd like to thank Professor Cheo for hosting this course and bringing insight into our culture!
Very informative.. translation could use a little work as I’m sure some people might’ve missed some words or phrases that were missed because of timing. Also, subtitle translation was a little confusing but google helps with the foreign pronunciation and spelling. I am super grateful to have been able to begin learning.
An interesting course in which I enjoyed learning about some of the Curanderismo traditional healing practices. Gave me some insight into healing practices carried out in a different culture to my own that I was previously not aware of. Very engaging. My thanks to the educators and course organisers.
Professor Torres is enthusiastic in his presentation of the course materials. The guest speaker are what we would have to call experts in their fields. The demonstrations are clear and well explained. I can't say enough good things about the course and its presenters.
I highly recommand this course to realize what regional possibilities the healing is offerung and I laughed to have been integrated into the traditions throughout Coursera. I felt very welcome to all the ceremonies and felt the energy and the cleansing
BUENAS TARDE, ESTOY DESARROLLANDO ESTE CURSO Y AL ENVIAR EL QUIZ CON LAS RESPUESTAS, SE ABRE UNA VENTANA DE PAGO Y NO ME DEJA ENVIAR. SOY DE BOGOTÁ COLOMBIA Y ACTUALMENTE HAY UN CONVENIO DEL GOBIERNO CON COURSERA. GRACIAS.

Excellent presentations of traditional healing. The Curandero(a)s were all proficient in demonstrating the various modalities. Enjoyed this course very much and learned a lot.
Loved this course. It was very informative. I enjoyed learning more about the meaning of the rituals I've seen before. It will shape my life going forward.
Thank you so much for making these teachings so accessible in these times. This was a beautiful class and I will be taking the other four.
He disfrutado mucho aprendiendo de la mano de grandes conocedores de la tradición medicinal. Agradezco de corazón la sabiduría compartida.
wonderful its in a way to remember who we are and to reconnect with our ancestors at the same time heal our collective consciousness
I really appreciate a course like this as an introduction to Curanderismo. There is a lot of great knowledge and wisdom here
The videos were powerful to watch and helped to shape the context and practical knowledge needed to complete the course.
Very good experience and informative. I would recommend taking the course to anyone interested in Curanderismo.
