Coyote Medicine: A Pathway to Recovery and Health 


August 30, 2019 – September 2, 2019 (Friday – Monday)

1440 Multiversity
800 Bethany Drive
Scotts Valley, CA


Coyotes live in the gaps of modern civilization. A wild species growing in population, they survive on wits and adaptability. Similarly, in the shadow of mainstream medicine, traditional cultural healers continue to thrive—helping with ancient expertise those Western medicine fails to comfort, treat, or cure.

Empower your holistic wellness with researcher and healer Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, PhD, of Cherokee and Lakota heritage, and Barbara Mainguy, MFA, MA, psychotherapist and director at the Coyote Institute.

Over this experiential weekend:
·         Explore Coyote Healing—a story-focused, embodied, and community-inclusive practice
·         Develop individualized approaches to stress management and reduction
·         Discover the importance of ceremony and ritual practices in modern life, including sweat lodge, sacred pipe, and prayer.

In many global indigenous philosophies, illness arises from a lack of harmony and balance. The pathway to healing is one of integrating mind-body awareness, a special lesson of the trickster archetype. Coyote Medicine integrates traditional and modern healing philosophies with the power of Native North American approaches.

This workshop is for anyone wishing to deepen self-healing, build community, and activate their natural skill set for change and transformation. Together, you will conclude the weekend with a traditional pipe ceremony and burning of prayer ties in offering.
