Exploring Your Spiritual Ecosystem: Prayer, Ceremony & Reclaiming Relational Wisdom

Chief Rueben George

Sundance Chief, author, cultural leader, family therapist, and grandson of Chief Dan George.

For every psychological or scientific framework we've learned, there's an Indigenous teaching that completes it.

In this monthly series, Chief Rueben George takes us on a journey to explore and grow our spiritual consciousness through the foundations of wellbeing: prayer and ceremony. We'll trace the path from pre-colonial practices, through the rupture of global colonization, to where we stand now — and discover how reclaiming relational wisdom can guide us toward a grounded, whole, and embodied future.

This is an invitation to open a door, explore your own spiritual ecosystem, and restore the connection many of us have lost.

Many of us did not grow up with spiritual teachers to guide us. Many of us use medicines without fully understanding their teachings, their origins, or the responsibilities that come with them.

This gathering offers a safe, respectful space to learn, listen, and ask the questions we have long carried.

  • The cultural and spiritual meaning of smudge and sacred medicines
  • Teachings from Chief Rueben George's lineage and ceremonial experience
  • Understanding the "spiritual ecosystem" and how ceremony restores harmony
  • Insight into cleansing, grounding, prayer, and connection to spirit
  • Guidance on approaching ceremony with respect and cultural humility
  • A shared moment of intention, presence, and gratitude

  • A quiet, comfortable space where you can be fully present
  • Headphones or earbuds for clear audio
  • Optional: A journal for reflection
  • An open heart
