Facilitator Of Connection PracticesIndigenous Wisdom May 2014 - PresentEast Sussex, United KingdomWith a grounding in Anthropology, I have spent many years studying and training with first nation teachers, bringing their practices of living in connection with each other and the natural world into my life. I am committed to supporting the dissemination of the wisdom of these teachers and from my home I run a training centre for tribal teachers to share their wisdom with the world. I have experienced at first hand the power of transformation of these healing practices and am committed to bringing them to my local community to support us all through significant changes and rites of passage as well as through the twists and turns of daily life. I run a year long experiential course entitled 'Journey into Womanhood' which applies these teachings to what it means to be a woman. I co-deliver a group for mothers and daughters moving through the transition of adolescence and also co-facilitate rites of passage.
