Healer Training Update 7-14-20

This is an important moment in time for all of us and we invite in all communities to this healing work. I feel first and foremost I am an environmental guardian and I help take care of Mother Earth by helping as many humans as I can.

I created the Creative Healing Arts Center (CHAC) and it became a legal 501C(3) in 2010. Woven within CHAC's structure, as well as my work supporting it, is a deep exchange with Mother Earth and all that she provides. This includes sustainably growing various sages and selling some of them to community members, with profits deposited directly to the non-profit. Once or twice a year I also gather ocean stones from the Pacific ocean and give these to people to help them ground and connect to Mother Earth. If people want an extra set they buy them and those proceeds are donated to the CHAC also, this supports CHAC's focus on educating community members on how to exchange with and care for Mother Earth. The CHAC nonprofit has been rooting itself for some time and, going forward - starting with creating financial aid resource to provide some scholarship opportunities to attend online Healer Trainings.

I am working with Grandmother La'ne Sa'an Moonwalker and receiving her guidance as a Southwest Indigenous teacher. I have been studying with Grandmother Tu Moonwalker (deceased) and Grandmother La'ne Sa'an for over 20 years. I grow many acres of NM mountain sage in Tres Piedras, NM, and give sage and native tobacco and seeds to indigenous people (and anyone who asks) throughout this country and beyond our borders.

I am committed to teaching students to lean into their own ancestry to identify and build alliances within it, including their own local plants and healing tools. The breathing meditation I teach is pranayama and it has origins in India.

With love and gratitude,

David
