Nia:wen for your Support!

The gift that keeps on giving! My mother donated 100 Ohenten Karihwatekwen books to my organization to be given as gifts to individuals who completed their grief work with Aseshate:ka'te Grief Services. She also translated into Mohawk how she would say that someone has overcome their grief. Symbolically, restarting the fire within. Which became the name of my organization. I am forever grateful to her for her guidance.

‘White Heart Fire’ 

 Healing, Trust & Transformation…

I have just finished this painting, embodying some of the recent teachings I was given to share after a shamanic journey to visit with one of my oldest teachers.

Walking a ‘shamanic’ path is one of constant effort, testing, refining and transforming (as is any spiritual path worth its salt.)

It is one that demands us to always be willing to take that next step, to let go of old paradigms and misconceptions (no matter how comfortable we are in them), to die and transform.

To do this takes trust, trust in ourselves and trust in our spirits. No matter how demanding things get in our lives, please remember that there is so much help available to us… to you, our spirits are always there holding space for us … we only need ask for their help and assistance and they will answer.

May you all walk well with your spirits during this week ahead.
