Okay everyone~

I’m introducing a new feature to my blog where I talk about ‘Paths to Reconnection’ which will be outlets and channels that provide direct, verifiable wisdom shares related to Indigenous heritage cultures.

This is an issue because for the most part, that wisdom needs to come from our elders, but in the Diaspora, contact with practicing elders can be scarce. I feel like this gap in connection is why our communities can fall prey to pretendians, clout chasers, and just plain misinformation, so it’s really valuable and important when people do the incredible, difficult and necessary work to make wisdom keepers available to us through the internet.

This month I’ll be talking about Song of the Spirit and Black Earth Wisdom through the International Conference on Spiritual Technology they put on that I recently attended.

If you’re interested in Indigenous cultural reconnection, please read!

Additionally, to support my work, access to classes and writing, consider supporting my patreon.
