Tansi~

It's been awhile since I have written you.... and it is me writing, not AI. ;)

Life seems to be moving ultra fast in this last year!! I am entering my Birth Day month, and entering my 60th year. According to our western thinking I am turning 59, but in my heart I know that I am entering my 60th year. This feels Initiatory. I am entering another decade, this is marked by Grandchildren, a primary relationship of 35 years, and a body that is warning me to move more, eat well, rest, and to embrace my Gifts and Dharma. :D And, of course... to continue healing & learning, growing & embracing positive ways of Being.

What's New???

Well, I'm not sure there is much that is totally NEW. Oh yes! There is one thing new!!!

In February, I will be launching a new Circle. This Circle will be open to all genders, all adult ages....and it will be on Zoom. Not sure of the date yet... I feel it would be nice to mark Imbolc, Feb. 1st, an old European holiday marking the coming of Spring, Birthing Time. <3

Yes, feels like a good time to begin a new Circle.

And this one is about Growth, our Journey, learning new ways of walking on the Earth, and in our lives. Interrupting patterns that colonization has placed us in, all of us. How do we call up our Ancestors Gifts, their Wisdom, and apply that Beauty into our daily Walk??

I want to explore, teach, get curious, discover old and new ways of using that deep, earthy, musky smelling Knowing.

No Journeying experience is necessary, but will be super helpful!! So, I will hold a class on Journeying soon. Please look for that post on my Facebook Page - Kokums' Den

Yeah, I am still stuck in FB land.... I will do my best to post on my website as well.

What's Old, and still Moving???

Women's Healing Circles!! OH MY GODDESS, they are rich with support, at times loud with laughter... and the odd expression of anger too. No judgements here, other than the judgement that there should be no judgements!! This Land gifts us with so much Wisdom, so much Comfort, so much Love, so much Empowerment. All of us. I may lead this Circle, but I am not the Power behind it. Great Spirit & the Ancestral Land Spirits here hold us all in a Sacred Way. The Prayer & Ceremony of over 15 years has rooted deep. That power sits in the Earth, along with the Songs, Dances, Prayers & Offerings of the Good Grandmothers & Grandfathers of the Katzie & Kwantlen Peoples.

Hy,ch qa!!! Our hands are lifted to those Blessed Beings.

SEE?? Start talking about it, and I start praying my Gratitude right away! LOL

That Power, that support is offered up to all the Women who come. For this Circle could not be possible without them, without you. Oct. 19th and Nov. 16th are the next two.

Sign up here, on my website, it's easy.

A note here... Please show up when you have registered. Space is limited and we've had a few women not show up after claiming space. Leaving us waiting, and with empty spaces in the Circle.

This is a Spiritual Circle, so it's not only us that waits.

Your Ancestors, and the Loving Compassionate Spirits that know your Heart, they are waiting too. When you commit to a Sacred Space?? It is alive, and lovingly there for you.

Sweat Lodges!!!

Sunday Nov. 2nd & Sunday Feb. 1st

A shout out to my European Ancestors!!! One Sweat Lodge Ceremony to honor Our Ancestors (Samhain)... Nov. 2nd.

And one to honor Momma Earth's Re-Birth (Imbolc), the return of Spring... Feb. 1st.

We begin in the morning, and we end around dinner time.

We prepare for the Ceremony, I share some Teachings and we prep the Lodge. Then we Sweat. First timers are always welcome, and the Lodge I hold is kind, welcoming, and without ego. You may leave the Lodge at ANY time. ;) No judgements, remember??

I have a PRIVATE Facebook page for all the details and community conversation.

Please contact me on Facebook to be invited to it... Monique Karhiio Wilson

If you do not do social media... contact me through email- healwithmo@gmail.com

and finally.... Personal Sessions.

Over the years I have invested in many courses, classes and certifications. I have assisted abused women, answered a rape crisis line, advocated for those same women with police, lawyers, prosecutors, and the attorney general.

I have learned about the effects of all kinds of trauma on the Mind, Body, Heart & Soul.

I have studied Mediumship, Shamanic Healing, and Traditional Healing techniques.

I have studied Trance, in depth, through Hypnotherapy & Shamanism.

I have Journeyed to many Spirit Lands to gather up Soul pieces, untangle Karmic patterns, release Bindings & Curses, heal the wounds of Ancestors & restore Ancestral health, I have released Loved Ones, and not so loving ones, from this Realm so that they may know Freedom. I have facilitated the Clearing of Homes, Lands & Bodies.

I have travelled & learned from Elders & Teachers who are known around the World, and I have been blessed by Teachers & Elders who lived on this Land, in their own Ancestral Territory. I have been blessed by all of this.

I do not share this out of ego, I am sharing it for those who may not know much about the long path I have walked to this place. I am one of the ones who was wounded, and refused to stay that way. One of the many who chose to heal her Spirit & transform that energy.

In my early twenties a Medium said to me...."you're a shaman, you know that, right?"

I reacted. No, I am not!! And I wasn't, holy smokes, I had ALOT to learn!! Still do.

(To be fair to her, she did See the future! And she gave me a hint... lol)

I still say, I am not. I do practice shamanic healing, and I practice & teach Indigenous healing techniques... and I teach shamanic techniques for Clearing, Protecting, and Spiritual Health & Well Being. I practice, and I teach those Healing Ways.

When I do this Good Work (Hy Hy Great Spirit) ...

I Teach too. I teach everyone I sit with, so that they may take care of their Spirits too.

"Protect your Spirit, for you live in a place where Spirits are eaten" -John Trudell

His words were not meant to call in fear, but awareness. They were written to bring awareness to the effects of colonization. Almost EVERY SINGLE Indigenous culture has been colonized at one time in history. Yes, ALL of us. Our Ancestors were wounded by colonization, no matter who they were. They were wounded by the appetites of those who disempowered our Ancestors, the People of the Land.

It is THOSE appetites that John Trudell speaks of.

It is those who continue to wound others.

It is those who seek power OVER others.

Those are the ones who would eat our Spirits.

So, yes, I am called to assist in the INTERRUPTION of that meal.

I am happy to help interrupt it. :)

That is one way of seeing the Good Work we do, one way of understanding why it is important to unravel, release, explore and initiate Healing. Some of those patterns of harm can't even be seen until we begin our Journey.

This is why we do the Good Work of interrupting patterns. So that our Descendants have less to do. So that we can create NEW patterns of Sovereignty, Empowerment & Love.

WAH WAH!!! WOW!!! lol.

I go so deep, so quick. Ah it's part of my nature. Goddess Bless.

I think that is all for today! LOL. I need a rest!

Oh, one more thing....

Today I was having a bit of difficulty figuring out how to create video blogs here, (on Wix) and how to create content to share across platforms.

Great Spirit~ If there is someone who would love to share some knowledge, or lend their skills ... to support an Indigenous woman trying to get her image, and her words out???

I am OPEN to receive!!!

Kakiyaw Niwahkomakanak!

All My Relations!!

Hy Hy!!!

Thank you!!!

I am grateful for your time, and your attention.

Many, MANY Blessings to you~
