    Episode 142: The Seven Circles

    This episode is brought to you by Sal Valencia III, Financial Advisor with Edward Jones. What do you know about indigenous wellness practices originating here in America? Could there be some lessons for us if we take the time to learn about them? Maybe our current wellness models need a review?

They share some of their well-researched native wellness wisdom through a very careful lens in their book, The Seven Circles: Indigenous Teachings for Living Well (2022).  They present a formalized wellness methodology and a visual healing tool, and it is refreshing.  Their hope is that we can learn to be truly well for our families and our communities.  Eleanor and Kristen have a very thoughtful discussion about this very interesting book.
