"What I love most about the Arts, is together we are able to experience a powerfully transformative hands-on experience, where we are simultaneously able to create a healing space to acknowledge and release stored inter-generational trauma, and reawaken our Ancestral resiliency, while deepening our connection to Mother Earth creatively, ceremonially, practically and metaphorically.
As we engage as co-Creators, exploring multiple holistic healing Arts for Mind, Spirit, Heart and Body, we share a Lived Experience of healing at a personal and collective level, that we can then offer to others, and heal with our families, our Nations, and the World at this time when it is most needed and being asked for.
The Healing Arts has been a life saver for me personally, and it is my honor, and my pleasure to be part of the team bringing this Indigenized program to life, in the service of Indigenous communities."
