This series is facilitated by Andrea Taahaabaah Twitchell and guest facilitators of The Medicine Way.

Andrea is an Indigenous educator, therapeutic bodyworker, spiritual coach, and founder of The Medicine Way, a nonprofit holistic spiritual community dedicated to healing through education, relationship, and community. She holds graduate degrees in Clinical Counseling and Art Therapy and brings together Indigenous worldview, trauma-informed care, expressive arts, mindfulness, somatic practices, and current psychedelic research to create spaces that are compassionate, grounded, and accessible.

Our intention is to cultivate a respectful environment where learning, curiosity, and thoughtful dialogue can flourish—bridging ancient wisdom with modern understanding while encouraging participants to make informed decisions that support their own health and well-being.
