White Bison: Mending Broken Hearts- Grief and Recovery Coach

This 3 day culturally-based program explores strategies for reconnecting with our loved ones, how to complete those relationships, even with family members who have made their Journey. The “Ancestors within” are also provided the opportunity for healing. The foundation for this healing process is based in traditional cultural ceremonies and teachings and on the importance of forgiveness. The goal is for the individual to reconnect with the culture, with their identity as a Native person, with family members (living and deceased), to complete those relationships where important things were left unsaid or where important things were left undone. The process used is based upon two important teachings: The Natural Order of Change and the Four Directions of Forgiveness. These teachings, plus the teachings of the Healing Forest, can help to restore a sense of wholeness, connectedness, and most importantly, learn what it means to “be able to love,” by mending broken hearts.
