Wisdom and guidance of the elder, assisting a young boy in making a medicine bag including the four sacred medicines (sage, tobacco, sweetgrass and cedar). I felt honored witnessing this, and they were very generous with permission but I felt I was witnessing the sacred and subtle tie to generations. And it was both extraordinarily beautiful and painful and I am left with greater insights , deeper empathy and a need to hold that brokenness. Thank you Maine-Wabanaki REACH for this beautiful Wabanaki Wellness Gathering at King Middle School yesterday.
