How to Approach Indigenous Knowledge
This course invites you into a respectful and reflective journey of engaging with Indigenous wisdom. Drawing from over a decade of collaboration with the Kogi and other Indigenous communities, it offers insights into how ancient knowledge can help us navigate modern crises, not by offering quick fixes, but by guiding us back into connection.
Rather than romanticizing or copying, this course explores how to relate to Indigenous teachings with humility, responsibility, and presence. You’ll reflect on ancestry, cultural respect, and the deeper mindset behind Indigenous practices. This is not a path of imitation, but one of personal and collective transformation.
