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, nature and the sacredness of ancestral lands supports the belief of interconnectedness of all life.  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 planetary ecosystem enables detailed observations and understandings of environmental and weather pattern changes and their influence on earth elements, animals and plant behavior. This wisdom elucidates deeper discernment in numerous areas of study to include astronomy, physics, spirituality, etc.  

These understandings can also be applied in relation to the health of individuals and family systems or collectively 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.
