Our Approach
Many of us who are the children and grandchildren of immigrants are very confused about how to undo the effects of assimilation on our lives and our families. In the hustle of daily life it can feel hard to slow down and be who we are. This introductory class gives you a framework to help you come home to your full, authentic self, whether you are the descendant of immigrants and/or reconnecting with Indigenous roots.
Our process is simple and thoughtful.
Learning from Native and Indigenous teachings about how to undo assimilation, this course gives you a framework to help you come home and remember who you are. You are welcome here.

The Waterfall
LANDS OF THE MUISCA PEOPLE
When Rosa first came to the waterfall in Boyacá, Colombia, she knew that she had finally come home. Her people, the Muisca, have a special connection to water, and the waterfall teaches her something new about how to live well each time she visits with it.
