Mark Lindquist
“A blend of culture and spiritual readiness gave me a lot of heart, something I've been searching for. Personally I feel blessed I've been able to take lessons and teachings and apply it to my life.”

“I now have a deeper sense of self, a deeper connection to my culture and I have a clearer understanding and pride in who I am.”
Smudge circle was exactly what I needed. It gave some reassurance that I do know more than I thought and that's important because I struggle with not being native enough or enough to teach my kids and others. This helped me have confidence and self esteem knowing I do have some knowledge!
