What is this course about?

Interconnected and rooted together like forest trees, we can reach for each other and grow the relationships we need to heal ourselves, each other, and the world around us. If we have each other and the collective wisdom of our ancestors, we can embody our natural powers of leadership, healing, and collaboration to transform our health care system. Although we may be only truly experts in the colonization of medicine in our melting pot of immigrants and Indigenous people, it is not too late to re-indigenize and reclaim our intergenerational resilience or Living Earth Heritage. We can restore our faith in our inherent ability to heal naturally in alliance with our ecosystem rather than in direct competition with it. We can re-establish our connection to the land, cultural wisdom, language, faith, wild plants, and medical herbs of our ancestors that sustained and healed generations for thousands of years. We can rediscover the forgotten integral relationship with the land, plants, and animals that nourishes our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We can uplift the keepers of precious healing knowledge. Through learning about Complex Societal Trauma, Polyvagal Theory, and deep listening practices, we can reconnect with ourselves, body, mind and emotions, with each other, the natural world, and our Living Earth Heritage and decolonize medicine.
