  • Medicine for the soul

    I have never felt a connection to any religion or anything except nature fleetingly. I can feel my life taking on meaning and having hope for the first time since the suicide of my brother. I am so glad I found this podcast. Thank you so much. Thank you.

  • Amazing teaching about indigenous higher education

    The indigenous network at my workplace has been working toward establishing sponsorship and mentoring for indigenous young people. This teaching highlighted the importance of being directed by traditional knowledge and the ancestors to align the pursuit of physical science with community and relations and with the spiritual. Good warning is given not to let the corporate and colonial priority of money and success corrupt and enslave souls. Miigwetch Diane!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wholistic Wellness: Reclaiming Indigenous Knowledge and Community Care w/ Gus Hill
Q: How do you explain spirit work to those who come from a scientific paradigm?
Spirit work is framed as a uniquely Indigenous way of experiencing and engaging with creation, where spirit is accessed through ceremony, ancestors, and place rather than through purely rational explanations; it is presented as a pathway that many students intuitively recognize and feel, linking land, ancestry, and healing.
Walking with Community: Health, Family, and Responsibility w/ Dr. Pamela Williamson
Q: What kinds of improvements do you think are needed in traditional healing services?
Establishing trust and communication between traditional healers and healthcare providers is essential for effective collaboration.
