Welcome to TRIP - The Re-Indigenization Project

Learn How to Transform Pain into Purpose

Our Mission...

Our mission is to restore kinship as one Nature Family by reconciling ecological, social-cultural, and personal rifts within, between, and beyond humans. Through the TRIP Trifecta—Chapters, Coursework, and Cohorts—we guide individuals, families, and communities in transforming the pain of life’s challenges into purposeful action. This journey rekindles our belonging to the whole and empowers us to co-create a future where all life flourishes together. We are committed to shifting the pursuit of wholeness from a human-centered approach to a collective journey that includes all beings, honoring and revitalizing the interconnectedness of our Nature Family.

Our Vision...

We imagine a re-indigenized world—one reawakened to its innate unity, where compassion transcends boundaries, and every being is honored as an essential part of the whole. Our vision is to cultivate a global community rooted in interdependent sacredness, vitality, symbolic interpretations, serenity, kinship, and shared stewardship as one Nature Family. We strive to inspire hearts and minds towards a restored kinship that empowers all to rise, heal, and co-create a legacy of peace, purpose, and collective flourishing.

Together, as One Nature Family

MY PERSONAL QUEST FOR WHOLENESS

Years ago, I sat in therapy, carrying pain from my ancestors, my childhood, and my adult life.      

I wanted healing. I wanted wholeness.

But the more I searched through conventional approaches, the more fragmented I felt—like something essential was missing.

Years later, now a therapist myself, I saw that same longing in my clients. We weren’t broken individually—we were hurting together, from a much deeper wound. I realized that true wholeness wasn’t just about personal healing. It was about remembering that we belong to something bigger.

We belong to a living, breathing family of life.


THE SITUATION

For generations, we’ve been taught that humans are separate from everything else—separate from animals, plants, waters, lands, and even each other.

We have built a world around that separation. And it shows—in our loneliness, in our grief for the Earth, and in the quiet ache many of us carry without knowing why.



THE COMPLICATION

This story of separation has hurt us more than we realize.

We see it in broken relationships.
We feel it in anxiety and sadness that never fully goes away.
We hear it in the silence when another species disappears or when wild places are lost forever.

And even though therapy and healing spaces try to help, they often miss the bigger truth: we can't heal fully if we stay separate from the family we come from—the family of life itself.


THE QUESTION

How can we find real healing when the deeper wound—the separation from our living world—still lingers inside us?

How do we find our way back to belonging?



MY ANSWER

I created something called 

The Re-Indigenization Project (TRIP).

It is not about going backward. It’s about going home—to a way of being where we know, deep down, that we are part of a living, breathing family. Where trees, oceans, mountains, animals, and people are all kin. Where pain becomes purpose, and healing becomes belonging.


OUR HUMBLE INVITATION

So we ask you:

Are you ready to come home?

Are you ready to heal not just for yourself, but for all your kin—seen and unseen, human and beyond?

The path begins now. With you. With me. Together, we can rise and remember what we were always meant to be: one family, one world, one living story.

Will you join us?
