Synopsis:
What does it mean to be a human being? Do you remember? Anishinaabeg cosmology teachers us that humans have original instructions for moving on our mother earth in a sacred way that honours all relations. In this presentation Mkomosé shares a summary of a decade of learning with Healers, ceremonial leaders, and spirit plant medicines throughout the Americas. Join him and let us remember together.
