Join us on a journey into the heart of matriarchy and maternal wisdom in our latest podcast episode, featuring Candace and her special guest Jenny Sawanohk from Moose Cree First Nation. Jenny, an accomplished Indigenous healer and psychotherapist based in Ottawa, shares her rich insights and experiences. She leads the Misiwe Ni Relations Healing Lodge and offers personal therapy through her practice, Red Stone Snake Woman.
As we approach Mother's Day, Jenny delves into the traditional roles of mothers within Indigenous cultures. As a mother of three, Jenny brings a wealth of knowledge on nurturing resilience and community through maternal wisdom and Land based practices. The two women also discuss the pivotal role of matriarchy in creating compassionate communities that warmly embrace Two Spirit, trans, and gender expansive relatives.
Don't miss this enlightening discussion that explores the powerful influence of matriarchal values in promoting healing, understanding, and connection across Nations. Tune in to gain a deeper appreciation of the roles that mothers and matriarchs play in strengthening Indigenous sovereignty and advancing Indigenous self-determination.
