Join us for a discussion with Well For Culture founders Thosh Collins (WhaZhaZi, Haudenosaunee and O’otham) and Chelsea Luger (Anishinaabe & Lakota) as we discuss Whole Family Wellness. We cover an indigenous approach to prenatal, baby, postpartum, fatherhood, and a whole family approach to wellness. They study and implement lifestyle teachings of indigenous ancestors, while incorporating new information to contribute to ancient and ongoing chains of knowledge. Indigenous culture has always been dynamic, and wellness is an inherent aspect. Their good words help us to feel grounded amidst this time of pandemic, and we hope you will find comfort in their teachings as well.
Well For Culture is is a grassroots initiative which aims to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous health and wellness, they say on their website, “Well For Culture promotes holistically well lifestyles. We believe in mind-body optimization through The Seven Circles Of Wellness. Much like a ceremony, a song, a story, or an activist movement, Well For Culture Is at once a space, a place, a group of people and an evolving idea.”
