Lorena Kab’nal is a mujer originaria (native woman) of three ancestral communities in Iximulew, Guatemala: Maya Q'eqchí, Maya K’iché, and Xinka. She is an ancestral healer, communitarian-territorial feminist, and graduate of the National School of Theater Art in Guatemala. In recent years, she cofounded Tzk’at, a network of ancestral healers that provide an epistemological, political, and territorial space for women defenders of life and politically-at-risk communities to receive physical, emotional and spiritual fortification, healing, and recovery.
