Somatic Archaeology is a practice developed by Ruby Gibson (Lakota, Ojibway, Mestiza) in 1995. It is the process of becoming whole by curing your amnesia and remembering your stories. When you dig, you remember, and when you remember, history is revealed, and when history is revealed, you clearly recognize the trail of stories that formulate your life. This knowledge affords you choices and restores to you the power to manifest your unique destiny in a conscious way. Somatic refers to the body, and Archaeology to the study of ancient cultures through examining their remains. When we bring the two words together, Somatic + Archaeology, we are denoting the capacity to excavate familial and cultural memory imprints buried in our body. Exploring somatic memory and body narratives help us understand what impels us biologically to certain behaviors and symptoms, and provides us with skills to release neurological patterns of historical amnesia so that we can become free to live unburdened, non-fragmented, compassionate and harmonious lives.

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method developed by Dr. David Grand that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma,

dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Generational Brainspotting (GBSP) combines Brainspotting with Somatic Archaeology, a transgenerational healing model developed by Dr. Gibson. GBSP is indicated specifically to provide healing for seven generations of inherited familial and cultural patterns. Our focus is on developing positive aspects of inheritance, and reducing traumatic aspects, such as: adverse childhood experiences, domestic and sexual abuse, addiction, anxiety, despair, grief, depression, attachment issues, survival coping mechanisms, stress biasing, adoption, war related trauma, genocide, ethnocide, immigration, and removal from traditional homelands.

Somatic storytelling is the practice of listening to and making sense of the stories your body, mind and spirit are continuously sharing with you. For indigenous cultures of the Americas, storytelling is used as an oral form of language associated with practices and values essential to developing one's identity. Somatic storytelling is an interactive self development practice and an invitation to explore the organic being that you are. Through breathing techniques, explorative movement, sound and stillness, somatic storytelling can provide a deeper understanding for the conversation between body and mind. Even when you do not speak your body expresses your internal experience through breath, posture, movement patterns, micro-movements, body language, interactions with the external environment and how your body responds to your inner being. The history of storytelling goes back thousands of years, it has many forms and it's in our nature of leaning to gather around to tell and listen to stories. The way we perceive the story told also reflected the person who is listening.

Indigenous forms of visual artistic practice promote physical health and psychosocial well-being, particularly as it relates to the discipline of art therapy. Indigenous communities value interdependence as key to well-being, offering cultural safety and acknowledgment for the local culture. Indigenous art therapy evokes emotions, problem solving, imagination, memorializing life events, and enabling non-verbal communication, and is integral in establishing rituals and communication as well as, in “making special” key events and milestones in the lives of individuals in communities. Indigenous art therapy revisits cultural humility frameworks, recognizes historical trauma and disenfranchisement experienced by many indigenous communities and approaches their work through a participatory model of co-creation.

Peacemaking is an ancient indigenous social practice seeded in becoming the 'relative' (i.e. all my relations) for others. It is a process for building relationships and community, healing from generational trauma, and bringing people together to talk from our deepest values and our best selves. Derived from aboriginal and native traditions, circles bring people together in a way that creates trust, respect, intimacy, good will, belonging, generosity, mutuality and reciprocity. The process is never about "changing others", but rather is an invitation to change oneself and one’s relationship with the community.

Plant medicines and psychedelic-assisted therapy have been engaged as spiritual practices by Indigenous communities around the world for centuries. Sacred Indigenous traditions include ceremonies that practice these medicines not only to heal people, but to heal our planet by opening the spiritual gateways to the Ancestors (past and emerging) and promote transcendence through deep connections with Nature, the Universe, and Spirit.
