Dear Community,
I’d like to update you about the Navajo Healing Project, a project dear to my heart that continues to grow and thrive in unexpected and beautiful ways. For those of you who have followed me on this journey, you know that the project has roots dating back 7 years and that the internship program started during the pandemic. For those of you who have contributed with heart, hands, donations, and more, I hope you can feel that your contribution at the time was what was exactly needed for us to be here today. And as of today, we have collectively given more than 1,000 free treatments on Dinétah and trained 7 practitioners–Christa, Kaene, Esther, Eirena, Nizhoni, Keisha and Karla. We are about to onboard a new cohort of at least 5 more in the coming weeks. (I’m rattling off modestly impressive numbers for a small project simply because we are accustomed to measurements of success in a certain way, but there really isn’t a number large enough to convey the extent of healing that this project has ignited in the world.) True healing is a miraculous force that brings everything, everyone together as one.
To my BCA patients who have benefitted from working with me, you should know (and many of you do know) that what I do is inextricably connected to what I have learned about Medicine from working in the Diné community. And the work continues to ripple outward.
I want to let you know that in connection to this project, I am excited to publish my first book: The Spirit of Spring: Timeless Chinese Wisdom for Everyday Living and Healing. It is a book about you and Spring and about living in harmony with the world around us.
This book began with the intention of writing a manual for my incoming NHP intern cohort. While writing, I realized that a “manual” is not consistent with my teaching or writing style. It also dawned on me that the information I wanted to communicate may be helpful to countless more people. My Spirit of Spring book is now expected to be birthed (published) in the coming weeks :) I hope you will get it and pass it on to all your people.
For those of you who would like to continue to support the NHP project with a donation of $50 or more, I would like to thank you by sending you an advanced, signed copy of my Spring Book, hot off the press. My vision for the future of NHP is ambitious and completely attainable with your support. Thank you <3
