Dear Women,
When we gather, we heal.
Come join the circle.
Our bodies are highly intelligent. The modern world has clouded our ability to trust from an inside place. When we don’t feel well it throws our whole life off. We deserve to thrive in our bodies. We have been let down by the medical system. From being studied to the messages “it’s all in our heads.”
Well, I am here to tell you it’s not. Come join a group of women each week as we dig in and undo. We will reconnect to the idea of believing in something bigger than ourselves.
Women’s Medicine Circle.
Women were the first story tellers. We held the medicine for change in our ability to share our stories from one generation to the next. Join us Monday evenings throughout the seasons and reclaim this sacred gift. We are building our community one woman at a time. Let's reclaim our sacred gifts of healing and stories together.
Land Acknowledgment.
Heartfelt Medicine is located on Dakota land.
The relationship to water is sacred throughout Indigenous communities. A place called Bdote meaning “where two waters come together” where the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers come together is sacred to the First Peoples. We must do all we can to protect and support these communities to keep the waters sacred. According to the Assembly of First Nations “water is the giver of all life and without clean water all life will perish.”
Today, in Minnesota 11 reservations still reside. Four Dakota communities and Seven Ojibwe communities. These communities have a painful layered relationship with the US. For thousands of years the Dakota and Ojibwe Peoples occupied this land. This land was their way of life and connection to all things spiritual. Our work is to honor and repair.

We dig in and create a lifetime relationship with The First Peoples. It’s our only way through.
