Beyond Trauma-Informed…
Healing-Centered and Holistic
Cultural and Holistic Healing-Centered Teachings:
Our team possesses insight and skill in a Two-Row medicine approach, intertwining traditional knowledge with modern neuroscience and aligning with cultural teachings. These wisdom ways form a foundational structure that enables each group and community to incorporate their unique cultural traditions and methods of knowing and healing into a framework of hope and reclamation.
Understanding the connections between historical trauma and community strengths is essential. We utilize traditional teachings, ceremonies, and rituals, integrating a twinship cosmology and centering Spirit in this healing process.
This training is not a one-time learning experience but a thorough co-creation between the community and the consultant(s) that aims to produce lasting change. An introductory four-hour webinar is available, along with customized training that can extend over several days, weeks, or months. Prices vary based on individually tailored program development.
A Healing-Centered Holistic Organizational Approach to Historical Trauma
Developing a genuinely comprehensive, organization-wide, and culturally informed strategy for healing is no longer optional; it has become an act of rebellion and reclamation essential for All Our Relations—those seen and unseen, human and non-human.
This comprehensive initiative begins with a thorough organizational assessment to evaluate the trauma-informed aspects of your programs and cultural offerings, fostering a more inclusive and holistic perspective.
Standards for healing-centered organizational care will be assessed across all programs, accompanied by specific recommendations.

Trauma-Responsive Care
Beyond Trauma-Informed Care: Healing-Centered, Culturally-Driven Solutions
A 5-day workshop for Indigenous providers and healers walking the path of trauma work.
Colonial systems continue to reproduce trauma in Indigenous communities—from overrepresentation in child welfare and incarceration to the misunderstanding of language and ceremony. Many Indigenous providers and healers are supporting their people within these systems, while also carrying their own lived experiences of trauma, loss, and resurgence.
Yet, amidst these realities, we see profound strength. We see communities returning to song, land, and ancestral knowledge. We see young people reclaiming their languages. We see circles forming again.
This training is an overview of the different types of trauma, moving beyond trauma-informed care into culturally driven healing, offered as nourishment and support for that return.
Who This Is For
Indigenous practitioners engaged in trauma support, healing, or ceremony
Peer support workers, youth mentors, educators, and traditional helpers
Facilitators leading groups through healing, cultural, or wellness-based programming
People walking their own healing journey and wanting to support others

What You’ll Experience
Over five days, participants engage in interactive teachings, somatic practices, and story-based learning that draw from ancestral knowledge and contemporary research. Through ritual, dialogue, and experiential exercises, participants will:

Create a Kindness Action Plan: Design practical strategies to carry lateral kindness forward into organizational, family, and community settings.
Engage Somatic Boundaries: Develop body-based experiences of the boundaries required for all expressions of genuine kindness.
Why This Program Matters
Lateral kindness is more than being “nice”—it is a deliberate, culturally grounded practice that interrupts cycles of hurt and restores the original instructions of respect, generosity, and kinship through boundaries. By amplifying lateral kindness, we create safer organizations, stronger families, and more resilient Tribal Nations.

This immersive program weaves together western trauma science and Indigenous cultural teachings to provide sustainable pathways for preventing, recognizing, and healing the effects of vicarious trauma.

Roots of Integrity in Power: Indigenous Mindful Leadership
A 5-day Trauma-Informed, Healing-Centered Leadership Training in the Indigenous Neuroscience of Mindfulness
This leadership model centers Indigenous knowledge systems, ancestral wisdom, and relational accountability. In a world marked by intergenerational trauma and systemic oppression, Indigenous leadership is not just about guidance—it’s about restoration. Healing-centered leaders use presence, story, ceremony, and collective care to build spaces that honor sovereignty and well-being.
To be a mindful Indigenous leader is to:
- Honor the body as a site of ancestral knowing
- Listen deeply without urgency
- Restore balance rather than control
- Practice cultural safety and co-regulation
- Be guided by ceremony, land, and spirit
Trauma-informed leadership goes beyond awareness. It supports safe, trustworthy, empowering environments rooted in cultural healing. Healing-centered practice shifts the frame from 'what’s wrong' to 'what’s sacred and strong.'
Beyond Trauma-Informed: Healing-Centered Educational Sovereignty
A 4-Day Certificate Program for Educators and Helpers
Program Overview
Beyond Trauma-Informed: Healing-Centered Educational Sovereignty is a four-day certificate program designed for educators, helpers, and professionals working with Indigenous youth and communities in educational and learning environments. Grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and informed by trauma science, this program supports a shift from trauma-informed awareness toward healing-centered, culturally driven educational practice for youth who have already experienced significant developmental trauma.
Our ancestors taught that healing happens through relationship—with one another, with the land, and with spirit. This program honors those teachings while responding to the realities Indigenous youth face within educational systems shaped by colonization, historical trauma, and disrupted attachment. It invites participants to restore relational safety, cultural belonging, and sovereignty in learning spaces.
What You’ll Experience
Over four days, participants engage in reflective dialogue, experiential learning, and somatic practices that weave together ancestral wisdom and contemporary healing-centered approaches. Participants will:
Explore the Limits of Trauma-Informed Education
Examine how trauma-informed frameworks can fall short when culture, history, and Indigenous worldviews are excluded.Center Relationship as Medicine
Learn how story, listening, presence, and relational accountability function as foundational healing practices in educational spaces.Integrate Indigenous Knowledge & Somatic Practice
Apply body-based, land-informed, and culturally grounded approaches that support regulation, connection, and belonging for youth and adults.Support Healing & Prevention in Educational Settings
Develop strategies to respond to trauma and attachment challenges while strengthening protective factors, resilience, and cultural identity.Reclaim Educational Sovereignty
Reflect on how Indigenous values, teachings, and ways of knowing can guide educational systems toward balance, dignity, and wholeness.
Who This Program Is For
Educators working in Indigenous or Indigenous-serving schools and programs
School counselors, social workers, and behavioral health providers
Helpers supporting Indigenous youth impacted by trauma and attachment disruptions
Program leaders and administrators seeking healing-centered educational approaches
Community members called to restore relational and cultural safety in learning spaces
Why This Program Matters
Trauma is not only what happens to individuals—it is embedded in systems that fail to listen, see, and honor Indigenous children and communities. Healing-Centered Educational Sovereignty moves beyond deficit-based models to restore the original instructions of relationship, story, and care. When educators and helpers heal themselves and their systems, they contribute to the healing of ancestors, future generations, and the land itself.
As Yup’ik Elder Rita Pitka Blumenstein reminds us:
“When we can heal ourselves, we also heal our ancestors, our grandmothers, our grandfathers, and our children. When we heal ourselves, we heal Mother Earth.
Rematriation Practices for Healing from Addiction
A 4-Day Healing-Centered Certificate Training for Returning to Our Sacred Feminine Wisdom
Program Overview
Rematriation Practices for Healing from Addiction is a four-day healing-centered certificate training that honors addiction recovery as sacred community healing work.

This training recognizes that addiction does not occur in isolation. It emerges within histories of colonization, displacement, disrupted kinship, and unhealed grief. Rematriation calls us home to the wisdom of the sacred feminine, to ancestral teachings, and to relational ways of healing that serve not only the individual, but the wellbeing of communities and future generations.

Rematriation Practices for Healing from Addiction reframes recovery as a relational, cultural, and spiritual process rooted in Indigenous resilience and wisdom.
Healing through rematriation restores dignity, belonging, and purpose. It recognizes that when one person heals, that healing ripples outward—supporting families, communities, and the wellness of seven generations to come.
