Crafting a lot. It’s part of the therapeutic process I’m exploring while doing my own work. Keeping my hands busy, while doing that putting theoretical processes to work. What works for me? How can these theories be applied in life... I’m figuring it out.

One of the ways I provide Cultural Support is by creating medicine bags. My auntie sends me scrap leather from her leather crafting, moccasins, gloves all sorts of things. She sends me what she can’t use, rather than waste it.

I make them all by hand. They aren’t extravagant. They are simple, plan because they are meant to be. How they look isn’t what matters, they not suppose to make a statement. Others maybe, but not the ones that I make. They are just a container.

When I think of what medicine is. It is not always plants. Plants can treat the body, but these are made to treat the mind and heart, maybe even the spirit. Simple objects, stones, shells, a piece of some, can help remind me of people who are important to me. Remind me of things that they say, how they think. So I carry them around my neck. When making choices, I hold it and connect to that memory. Remind myself of them. Hear them in my heart and in my head. Sometimes those answers come. Sometimes I just need reminding where I come from. Sometimes I need reminding of what is important. Sometimes I just need to remember.

These simple pouches, a container for us to fill with reminders. Thoughts, prayers and memories…

There is something fulfilling about providing Cultural Support as part of my practice. Helping those in need to release blocked emotions through ceremony, creating something with your needs in mind. Allowing you to connect to yourself and your grief. Accepting change and letting go of the unneeded energy and connections. Inviting that which you need to create new beginnings. Deciding what that looks like...

Grief in nature

Grief in nature

Scrub jays hold strange funerals.
When one of them dies, a single bird cries out, summoning others. They gather, cease feeding, and call together around the body, sometimes for hours. It is their way of mourning, a ritual of remembrance beneath the open sky.

In Native traditions, birds like the jay are not only messengers of the forest but also guardians of thresholds. Their voices carry warnings, their gatherings reflect the bonds of kinship and loyalty. To see scrub jays hold a funeral is to glimpse a deeper truth: even the smallest creatures honor life, remind us of community, and teach that every spirit, once departed, still shapes the living.

A Simple Guide

I began my journey when I was 11 years old, but when I was 8 year I realized there was more to the world then what we normally acknowledge as a people. Having this deeper connection to the earth and I found it impossible not to step forward to cultivate a relationship with the worlds around me. I do mean worlds, there is what we can see and that we don’t see and how we interact with them depends on how we choose to live. Often our choices have impact on these places, often we don’t take notice. Only when we choose to open our eyes can we understand what I mean. When I say worlds, there are those that assume I’m speaking about the Astral plain and Netherworld. It’s interesting ... but it not what I’m talking about at all. I do work with in those realms but... that is only a facet of what being a Shaman is.

When I began my journey into Dream Work, even those I was so young. I was taught to able to understand myself better. Everything there was a part of me and helped me hear my own story. Being taught about myself, from aspects of me who often took the form of people I love and respect. Some characters took a form all their own. Together I was taught to accept my demons and see their true natures.

Of course when I say demons, I mean the shadow that lives inside us and thus my journey into Shadow Work began. Shadow and Its forms being, fear, anger, regret and pain, whatever the Shadow is for you. It is born of our choices, events that we lived and often hold us back. A great part of the work is overcoming these things that limit us, to see and accept who we are. Dreams help us see these thing about ourselves, they help us better understand the how we feel and think. In dreams you can explore a realm a possibility and discover an inner truth that exists inside you.

In answering these questions and discovering these truths inside myself helped me to better understand my connection to Spirit. To gain a deeper understanding of energy and how it moves through and around the body. How that energy relates to the rest of the world? Through working with the chakra did I begin to understand how I as a human can relate to the worlds around me, and further my understanding of life and my journey
