[The facilitators] created a safe, fun-serious, all inclusive, loving, container. They know their ancestral medicine and taught me so much.

I loved the way the teachers used vernacular language to relate to the ancestors. Didn’t have to be so serious all the time. And made the ancestors seem more approachable.

When I contemplate being of service now, I feel not a sense of burden and work, but shared joy.

This experience was amazing! I felt such a sense of belonging, respect, and caring about my experience!

“I love getting this information.  I had no idea we have these traditions in my ancestry.  I’m so grateful for this knowledge and feel so enriched!  Thank you for your service!”

It’s like learning to cook with a professional chef in their kitchen…

I felt seen and cared for in a room full of people, which was such a safe place while exploring with my ancestors.

Maris listened deeply and pondered before answering. The high quality of her responses was reflective of her thoughtfulness. Her singing is magical. She is a blessing!

“This was a tremendously moving experience.  These women are very skillful and powerful, and you should have them back.”

[The facilitators] lead by example without preaching, and hold sacred space in a way that is both accessible and deeply reverential. They made the work powerful and at the same time relaxing…I learned a ton from them without active effort. The music they bring adds a very deepening dimension. I am so grateful for their quiet, profound way of being and their leadership.
