Fire Ceremony | Transformation She quietly prays to the spirit of the flames, She bares her soul to become naked to Spirit. Driving force for transformation, a release into the fire. She breathes her prayers into the offerings, A uniting of a true essence. Within her body releases her anger, pain and sadness, A shedding of time and beyond Time and space. A singing of ceremony, Being supported by her community. She senses relief, Her prayers in the smoke. Ride into the heavens, Held lovingly from her guardians in Council. She releases the binding, Increasing her power. A weight is lifted, She continues her journey. ~ Vidya #fireceremony #shamanicteacher #indigenouswomen #medicinewheel #sacredinitiations #sheletgo

Medicine Wheel | Spirit Catcher I built a container to hold the magic of the mountains, as I worked under the mountain I was connected to many mountains along the spine of turtle island. I spent a few hours playing in the sand, while creating pathways to each cardinal direction in which we honour through this shamanic work. By infusing our own energy into these acts of art it can create a cauldron of magical mechanics that acts as a portal for prayer. The land seems to call frequently for me to do work within its landscape for its people and for itself. My work is to continually play and walk the in a beauty way. The centre of the medicine wheel holds five stones Creator Earth Mother Grandfather Sun Grandmother Moon The Stars There is a pathway for the four hoops of life that we go through in our lifetime. Many of us stay within the first two hoops are you ready to go through the other two? Nature is conspiring to wake you up! #chipewyandene #indigenousteacher #naturesart #medicinewheel #tszil #mountainshamanism

Heyoka rattle | Fulfilling my word Procrastination is likely one of my detriments. Sometimes I get lost in the clouds and walking the lands. Spending hours on my computer or slothing on Netflix. I made a commitment to send a rattle to someone and after three months, I finally looked at it and said you need to be finished. so I birthed this rattle last night and will send it off soon. Thank you for your patience on receiving this Heyoka rattle that will call in the quiet, contrary abilities. To be like the hangman and see the world from another perspective. Also a teaching around patience and fulfillment of your word. Patience is natures way. #indigenousartist #indiantime #heyoka #rattle #nativeart

Wandering | Pilgrimage March was a full month of over two weeks working, teaching and visiting people throughout British Columbia. As a wanderer who follows seasons. This Spring, it was time to shuffle the feet towards this new year. I am always in awe of the friendships that I hold and contain in my personal, spiritual and teaching worlds. Every year opens my eyes to a new way of being and I’m really looking forward to stepping in to refine my skills as I walk in these medicine shoes in this world. I’ve applied for a scholarship and am feeling pretty confidant to bring in a new tool! The work is to help the world heal and I do so so freely to share these gifts that I was offered and given to be gifted to many around. I’m back at home for the next couple months and you can find me teaching in @villageyogapemby Pemberton on Sunday mornings and I have two workshops, one in inversions and another Shamanic Yoga and journey. In Vancouver? I’m headed out to @corkitwine it on the solar eclipse Monday, March 8, and I will seem this new moon around the change for the snake eats the sun. This will be the last solar eclipse that we will see for the next 20 years. 🫶wishing you all LOVE for the NEW YEAR!! #chipewandene #wanderer #shamanicteacher #shamanicyoga #medicinewheelokanagan #medicinewheelkootenays #indigenousteacher #deathdoula

I Feel the Land | Poetry In film I am blessed to work often on the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh and other land keepers around BC. This morning I watched the sun rise and she spoke to me of her stories. The old days and ways. You can feel the marine life and the Spirit of the water. The traditional people here continually fight against resource based companies so they can keep this place rich in its natural resources. I feel immensely why. When I am present with the Earth she has so much wisdom to share. I am always in awe of her beauty. In the prophesies this is what the red nation is here to teach. To remember our connection. To care for our Earth. Here I walk to teach the Earth magic so we can change the noosphere to collectively honour and protect our sweet mother. We transform. Awaken sweet one. I feel so abundant and full of love when I am within the embrace of our nurturing Mother. It reciprocates. I honour those who have come before. May we all find healing. #indigneousteacher #indigenousteachings #earthmother #medicinewheel #okanaganmedicinewheel #kootenaymedicinewheel #mountainshamanism #rainbowwarriors

Indigenous Teacher | Speaker of Truth I’ve been outspoken my whole life Will I change. Probably not… I’ve been that kid that gets sent to the front. The one where teachers say to my parents that I’m a social butterfly. I always felt different I was kinda lost and in a place that was in between I’m adopted so I’ve always felt a sense of abandonment It wasn’t to the fault of my mother Sincerely I have done a lot of work on my shadow I’ve delved deep into those dark waters Unearthing Always releasing. I love figuring out my Self The healing journey is continuous I share my downfalls I share my rises I have learned much on the way. I don’t pretend to be something I’m not… I see through that veil on many. What I’ve learned over the years as a teacher Is to be authentic To be yourself To share your experiences We all have shit Some of us more than others. I’ve been gifted with child trauma and bloodline hardships. To unearth the Gold The magic The true indigenous spirit is… To be with the land That’s my deepest connection And my greatest teacher. I pray to you To be discerning of what you see It may not all be true What matters is the rising of the heart That’s all that matters. If your real on healing the World You need to do the work on yourself To not fall for world events. They feed off of you Like a hungry ghost We are rising Remember that Rise above Stay centred Be careful of the ‘show’. Not everything is real. You are real To break the threshold You must be careful of the mind manipulation I see I feel I observe I move through Freedom comes from being the observer of the mind Deep & channeled thoughts ~ Vidya
