Testimonial from a participant:
“Before I went on my medicine walk, I was struggling with finding the inner strength to keep opening my heart to my family, friends, and colleagues…The medicine walk experience enabled me to observe and let go of many of the preconceptions and judgments I carry. The practical value of the medicine walk experience comes from providing an opportunity to connect clarity of thought with the intuitive power of an open heart.
