Original Medicine 4-Part Series - January 22, 2022
Description
This program is a psycho-spiritual cross-cultural mindfulness approach to the teachings that weave together Indigenous Wisdom, Mindfulness, and Earth-based practices in order to integrate seasons and the transitions between the seasons as cross-cultural mindfulness tools. In Indigenous societies, there are long-standing practices of honoring the sacred, cultivating stillness, embracing silence, being in nature, and conducting rituals to acknowledge the coming changes in the world around them and within themselves.
Prior participation in previous OM Sessions not required.
