About the Session

In this session, Dean will share Indigenous teachings, stories, songs, practices, and ways of knowing rooted in spiritual values that guide us toward living well and in balance. Participants will be invited to reflect on what it means to live in good relations -- with one another, with the Earth, and with all that sustains life.

About Original Medicine 4-Part Series

Original Medicine 4-Part Series is a platform for Indigenous elders, teachers, and healers from all four corners of the world to come and share their wisdom. This series seeks to illuminate the often overlooked and unheard voices of Indigenous people. These sessions offer a psycho-spiritual and cross-cultural approach that may include teachings from the Buddha-Dharma, Indigenous Wisdom, and other contemplative and earth-based traditions. We work with each Season as a teacher, featuring a different guest speaker every Season, so that we may be in an intentional practice of connecting ourselves with the natural world.

In Indigenous societies, there are long-standing practices of honoring the sacred, cultivating stillness, embracing silences, and forming a relationship to deep listening; these practices open our hearts to the mysteries of life. They are the messengers that guide us back to the wisdom of our precious hearts. Join our sessions to explore these ancient ways of being with ourselves and the earth. 

We invite you to join any of our sessions to explore the possibilities that lay within, allowing authenticity to emerge as Original Medicine. Prior participation in previous Original Medicine 4-Part Sessions or Original Medicine Yearlong Program is not required to attend.

Setting the Container

At Braided Wisdom, we strive to cultivate an online space that supports connection, presence, and collective care. While we invite participants to have their cameras on to help nurture a sense of community, we wholeheartedly honor that there are many reasons someone may choose otherwise. We encourage you to meet yourself where you are, and if any needs arise around this, you’re warmly invited to reach out to us at info@braidedwisdom.org.
