She has helped me to foster and excavate the sacred spaces within my life, bearing meaning out of troubles and peace out of chaos. Always offering a space of understanding and growth. She has authentically shared her journey with myself and many others. Throughout our time together she has presented a long lineage of rituals and traditions from the indigenous peoples of the world for our group to experience. One of my favorite teachings has been on the Lakota Indians.
Today my heart aches for her loss and I turn to this Lakota Prayer as an intercession of peace. I repeat it in dedication to my mentor and friend...that she and her family might experience healing and be embraced in a sacred way with the passing of each glorious Sun.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin...All My Relations...
May You be Sweetly Held...
In Gratitude,
Sarah
