The School of Intergenerational Healing is designed by and for Indigenous women who want to recondition their nervous system for more joy, peace, and vitality. While we focus mainly on women-only programs, we offer all-gender and non-Native cohorts available on demand. We mainly serve:

• Women feeling burned out, anxious, or emotionally flat

• Women managing chronic health issues or stress-related illness

• Women who feel strong on the outside, but exhausted inside

• Women ready to feel joy, connection, and vitality again

For those who identify as a different gender or are non-Indigenous and want to attend, or if you represent a company or organization and want to do a workshop, send us an email at danielle@joinnativesrising.com for more info.

No. The School of Intergenerational Healing and our 4-step FEEL method is for anyone with a nervous system that feels off—whether from trauma, burnout, anxiety, relationship stress, chronic stress, or just life in a society that demands too much.

No. Our 4-week program where we teach our original FEEL Method is not therapy—it’s a self-healing practice rooted in neuroscience, somatics, and Indigenous values. You don’t need a diagnosis or therapist to participate. Many women use our 4-step process alongside therapy or other healing tools, but it stands on its own as a nervous system reconditioning method.

No. We don’t ask you to relive or retell painful stories.

While trauma may explain how our nervous systems got wired for survival mode, we don’t focus on the past—we recondition your body and mind to feel safe and more relaxed in the present.

Our 4-step FEEL process is about what’s happening now in your thoughts, feelings, body, and focus—and how to shift that toward peace.

Our program was created by Indigenous women, for Indigenous women. Using an innovative hybrid model, we combine the best of Western neuroscience with Indigenous cultural understanding and values to create profound results.

The School of Intergenerational Healing and our original 4-step FEEL Method are Indigenous not because they use ceremony or language from one nation, but because they are grounded in Indigenous cultural understanding: everything is relational, systemic, interconnected, and that healing in community helps to restore balance in the body, heart, mind, and spirit.

Unlike traditional Western medicine or therapy that often pathologizes unpleasant emotional or physical states, we see those states as signs of imbalance in the nervous system and neurology. We do not separate the emotional from the physical, nor the personal from the economic.

We also teach epigenetics — essentially using the language of Western science to describe the generational interconnectedness that Indigenous people have always understood.

Our approach is inspired by traditional teachings and values: the Seven Grandfather Teachings (love, courage, wisdom, humility, respect, truth, honesty), the Seven Lakota Values (Wisdom Wóksape, Fortitude Wowačíŋtaŋka, Generosity Wačáŋtognaka, Respect Waóhola, Bravery, Humility Waówahwala, and Compassion Wówauŋšila), and Pomo values of generosity and reciprocity.

Through the FEEL Method, we build strong relationships with these values within us and around us — restoring balance and reconnecting with what makes us whole.
