our MISSION.

 
Our goal is to provide needed teachings based on a holistic approach.  We have based our methods on the wisdom of our ancestors, to guide us to reach balance in our lives and build a foundation for a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. We approach teachings in a culturally sensitive and courageous manner.

in the

BEGINNING....

 

native survival encouraged self-reliance, loyalty and mutual support.  The social interconnections and necessary interdependence of families was woven into the fabric of native communities.  

The arrival of the Europeans to our shores resulted in illness, death and destruction to our way of living introducing dependency and loss of our identity.  

Today, for individual growth and life it is important to embrace the wisdom of our ancestors to live life in balance and respect. It is also important to accept and understand the differences between native practices and contemporary society.   

The four directions of wellness involve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Wellness and identity encompasses an understanding and acceptance of these four levels on an individual  basis and building upon community norms.  

Native Wellness is a holistic approach, utilizing cultural teachings to help us find balance in our lives.  The medicine wheel teachings, of which there are many, assist our learning on a personal rediscovery of our real selves including identity, purpose, self-realization and maintenance of these newly discovered skills.

Discover

Your Greatest Self.

 

Our goal is to engage you as a whole person - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, and to inspire you for a lifetime.  You will reconnect with what is means to be alive and human at this moment of your life.  You will gain a new perspective on what "living well" truly means and how you can do it now.  You will deepen or reveal the unique gifts and passion that you offer the world.  

TAKE BACK

YOUR LIFE.

 

Gain a new perspective.  Offers the extraordinary opportunity to step outside the familiar, and bring a fresh new perspective often accompanied by a sense of peace wellbeing and clarity to ones own culture and life.  Experience a tremendous space to feel, grow and see new possibilities.   Restore a sense of wonder and connection and recalibrate you to the ancient rhythms of the natural world.

stop talking
START LIVING.

 

Rediscover your original self.  In the rush of modern life it is often hard to remember that man did not always live this way. 

 

We are able to maintain our own reality affirming on a daily basis that we as a species are still hardwired for connection with each other and our environment.

 

This lifetime journey is about accessing and remembering that original part of ourselves.  This can fufill a deep longing for many and its also a useful, perhaps necessary undertaking for effectively and creatively dealing with the challenges we face in the world today.

Joseph Laford

I met Joe several years ago during a trip to Manitolin that was truly life-changing for me.  Joe was the facilitator, compassionate guide, and sincere partner on my journey of self-discovery and spiritual knowledge and healing.  He could immediately feel I was hurting in some areas of my life, and he helped to introduce me to some ways to consider these aspects - to contemplate personal balance and "heart work" as he called it, to address and work through pain and blocks that kept me from allowing my spirituality and individual self to flourish.  He has a way of not needing details, or prodding - but introducing stories, exercises, and being very open about his own work that allow you to feel empowered, capable and supported in seeking your own answers, and finding and following your ownpath. Joe is someone who's love and care premeates all elements of his life, and I can feel his presence, teachings and support several years after initially meeting him.  He and his family helped me feel self-compassion, self-love, new degrees of respect for life, and observe spiritual practices that have been very meaningful to me over the years.  Joseph is a trie spiritual guide and healter, and I feel my life has been truly enrished by is and his families' presence in it

Through my work with Joe I have learned so much about my spiritual self.  His ceremonies and many lessons have stuck with me in ways that have helped me to handle the unexpected twists and turns of my life and to find peace in the storm of all the change.  My heart isn’t stronger, because as he taught me, it was always strong.  Although now there is a difference in my being because I know my spirit and I am to nourish it with love that was always present but in some sense invisible.  Now I will only keep growing more resilient and vibrant through each turn that life takes me!!
