Education & Training

Philosophy

In my life as a traditional Medicine Woman in our contemporary times, I live and practice daily ritual beginning with greeting the sun in a ceremony with water, cornmeal and prayer.  I call out prayers of  gratitude for my life, for the life of my children and for the life all my relations. I practice inviting the divine union of Earth Mother and Sky Father into my being which ignites the light within.  

When we call in the light into our body, heart  and our spirit we begin to see the esoteric mapping and patterns of all life and we begin to see into the Spirit world.  We begin to recognize the synchronicities revealed by messages from the mundane and physical worlds.  If we pay attention, be aware and shift our perspective, life in nature guides our actions and we begin to understand our purpose and our fears.  We become empowered co-creators of our lives.

I fall in Love with this divine orchestration of life and believe that this is where creation is born.
