In participating in Kelly’s “Using Traditional Medicines for Self Care” workshop at the NNADAP Conference in 2016, I had the opportunity to strengthen my traditional knowledge around the protocol and holistic benefits of using medicines for self-care. The workshop added to my foundation and provided accessible knowledge that I feel comfortable sharing in my own practice. Along with a rich knowledge base, Kelly created a safe space where we could all contribute our thoughts, feelings and connections to knowledge and culture. As a participant, I could feel Kelly’s dedication and commitment to the work.
