Indigenous Wisdom

Indigenous Wisdom

Indigenous cultures have long understood the concept of health as it relates to all aspects of life.  This long held knowledge of life, the earth and ancestral lands support the belief that we are all interconnected.  Along with many other teachings, indigenous wisdom remind us that we are but a piece of the whole, not separate or superior.  It also reminds us of the importance of living in deep community with each other and with Nature.  A close physical and spiritual relationship with the ecosystem enables these cultures to provide detailed observations and understandings of changes to the environment, the elements and weather patterns, animal and plant behavior, astronomy, physics, spirituality, etc.  This wisdom can then be applied in relation to the health of the people collectively or to individuals and family systems in order to move toward higher states of well being.  As part of her practice, Leslie shares the indigenous wisdom perspectives of her many teachers, from diverse traditions, with a focus on healing and spirituality.
