Danielle Holland and Sharayah Lane kick off this week's show discussing Deb Haaland's confirmation as 1st Native American Interior Secretary. Then, Shίshάlh Nation & Ilocano Elder, facilitator, consultant and therapist, Anna Hansen, joins STPT. Anna Hansen carries over 40 years’ experience working in communities using an energetic, visionary and caring approach to help sustain wellbeing, healing and healthy connections. Her specialty areas include historical trauma and recovery, loss & grief, cultural humility/competency, and compassionate recovery.
Hansen holds space with your co-hosts, to talk in a circle around naming ceremonies, the power of Indigenous languages and rituals. Together they weave through time, building upon generations of action, resilience, and work. Hansen and Lane speak from the lens of those who experience settler colonialism in mind, body and spirit, to this day. Together they listen to the body and listen to one another. They witness. They invite us all to witness. For healing, for recovery, and for evolution.
This episode reminds you that "Tears will come before the understanding" so find a safe, warm space to be and to feel this conversation.
