  • In my tribal community when a relative as we address our consumers. I introduce myself as an equal opportunity sinner, mistake maker, imperfect person. I don’t have all the answers but will walk hand in hand on your healing journey. When we do individual self love we used sage, sweet grass, or tobacco on our left hand because it is closed to our heart. Being humble and respectful of our traditional ways aids us for them to come back.

  • Thank you, Kristin. I especially found combining the practice of equanimity with the practice of giving and receiving compassion to be so beneficial. I am very grateful for that and all your teachings!

  • Thank you, Kristin, for reminding us of the “on the job self-care” combined with the equanimity. This is so helpful in our day-to-day jobs. Would be great to get a training possibility for the SCHC 6-weeks courses for Germany.

  • I love the way Buddhist practices of awareness, loving-kindness, compassion, equanimity, and no-self (flow state) are woven into this work. Thanks so much to the work that Kirsten has done to bring this forward.
