Reconnecting with My Roots

This trip meant more than just miles on the road—it was a journey back to culture, community, and connection. I recently traveled to Williams Lake for a Xeni Gwet’in gathering with my youngest, Cyera. As an off-reserve member, it was powerful to be welcomed and included, to sit among family and community, share a meal, and take in the stories and strength of our people.

Moments like these remind me of who I am and where I come from. It’s healing. It’s necessary. And it’s something I hope to pass on to my kids—especially now, when we need unity more than ever.

Grateful for the dinner, the laughter, and the land that always welcomes us home. 🧡🌿

Reconnecting With Your Practice
There’s a quiet kind of grief no one really talks about. The kind that comes when you drift from your practice, your gods, your ancestors, and yourself. When the altar gathers dust, the prayers feel hollow, and the connection that once felt electric goes… still. But here’s the thing: the path doesn
