Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse welcomes Dr. Ruby Gibson to “First Voices Radio.”
Dr. Gibson, a mixed blood woman of Lakota/Ojibwe and Mediterranean descent, has spent the past 40 years dedicated to the craft and science of Historical Trauma reconciliation, cultural healing, and generational well-being among Native and Indigenous peoples. Dr. Gibson founded Freedom Lodge, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, in Rapid City, SD to serve our relatives and communities. She developed the transgenerational trauma recovery model Somatic Archaeology© and is the author of "My Body, My Earth,” “The Practice of Somatic Archaeology,” and “My Body, My Breath, A Tool for Transformation,” which are available in English, Romanian and Spanish. Dr. Gibson developed and teaches a Historical Trauma Master Class, and builds leadership skills in Native Wellness amongst the graduates.
She also teaches a Somatic Archaeology© Master Class for non-Native students. Using our Body and Mother Earth as benevolent sources of biological, emotional and ancestral memory, Dr. Ruby’s techniques are being field tested among clients and students with amazing effectiveness. She is honored to witness the courage and amazing capacity that each person has to reconcile suffering. As the mother of four beautiful children, one granddaughter, and two grandsons, Dr. Ruby has a heart full of hope for the next seven generations!
