Medical anthropologist Carroll Dunham has resided in the Himalaya for the past 25 years and currently lives in Nepal. She and her family have spent the last ten summers living with nomads in central Mongolia. Carroll is the founder of Wild Earth, which works with rural Asian women to create community income opportunities through the development of indigenous healing therapies and herbal handcrafted bodycare products. Carroll was the local producer for National Geographic's "People of the Windhorse," a documentary exploring the relationship between nomads and horses. She has explored the revitilization of Buddhist and shamanic practices in Mongolia.
