Wild Awakenings: Rematriating Mind-Body Wellness with Kimber Olson
A 2-hour virtual training that explores the profound connections between traditional Indigenous healing practices and contemporary neuroscience. Through a Two-Row Medicine approach that honors both Indigenous and western ways of knowing, participants will learn how traditional practices like drumming, round dance, and vocal techniques serve as forms of bilateral stimulation and nervous system regulation that Indigenous peoples have used for healing for thousands of years. The training includes talking circles, a mindful eating ceremony, and an exploration of neurodecolonization—the process of reclaiming traditional contemplative practices to support wellness and healing from historical trauma. All are welcome to this respectful, culturally grounded learning experience that centers Indigenous knowledge and provides practical tools for incorporating rematriated practices into daily life.
Though there is no charge for the event, we suggest a $20 donation to Holistic Health Community as a way to honor the care you receive. Your contribution assists us in offering affordable holistic healthcare and wellness education to the community. If you’re able to give more, we welcome your generosity. Your support helps others receive services when they need them the most.
