Course overview

The Native Americans looked to the earth mother and to nature for signs, omens and guidance. They discovered the life gift, making full use of talents and abilities, whilst obeying the balance of Universal Law. There are many who are denied the right way in life, often resulting in psychosomatic illness.  This can be healed by ‘walking in balance’, the Native American way.
