Below is a selection of videos from some of those whose work I am most influenced and inspired by, several of whom I have studied or trained with in person. While their teachings may differ, they share a common theme through their love of the natural world, reverence for the interconnectedness of all life, and trust in the inherent beauty, courage, and resilience of the human spirit, despite how far we may have strayed from the path. In a culture that no longer honors its ancestors or initiates its people into true elderhood, we must seek out our own wise ones to inspire and nourish us and bring us back into the circle of belonging. In them we can hear the echoes of our ancestors voices landing in our hearts, teaching us how to live a sacred life.
