IRS990/Desc0Original Medicine Programs: Original Medicine Yearlong is a psycho-spiritual cross-cultural mindfulness approach to healing and development. The contemplative teachings weave together Indigenous wisdom, mindfulness, and earth-based practices. This program teaches students how to work with the four seasons as tools of self-awareness, to learn the process of tracking one's own changes, and to connect to one's own natural phenomena as a human being. Original Medicine 4-Part Series is a platform for Indigenous elders, teachers, and healers from all four corners of the world to come and share their wisdom. Original Medicine Community Healing Council cultivates the collective practice of listening, witnessing, and holding space for the whole as we heal ourselves by acknowledging what needs to be healed. We work with the seasons, elements, and nature as direct mirrors for the healing process.
