Lenapé Nation organizing healing events
With the world turning its focus inward, toward healing, spirituality, and a connection to Mother Earth, Thunder Mountain Lenape Nation is preparing to launch a series of holistic, culturally based healing sessions.
“It is our common belief that by teaching people that healing begins (and comes) from within, we can continue our mission to educate, while offering a center for people to gather and grow. By offering a cultural healing atmosphere, coupled with a family of spiritual mentors, therapists and specialists, we can help people begin their own healing journey today,” said Pat Selinger, a spokeswoman for the nation.
Thunder Mountain Lenape is a nation of Lenape Indian families by ancestry or adoption currently living in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Thanks a joint venture between Thunder Mountain Lenape and Pat Martello, owner of Martello Hair Care in the Dairy Queen Plaza, Delmont, appointments are being made for shiatsu treatments, energy and cell healing, massage therapy, guided meditation, and stone and gem healing sessions.
Lenape’s family of mentors and professionals include Patricia Star Dancer Selinger, CJ Wisdomkeeper Frank, and Gretchen Schmitt.
“Encompassing over 50 years of combined experience, our staff specializes in techniques from multiple cultures, and includes studies in psychology, dietetics, registered nursing and massage therapy.
To kick off the opening of the Medicine Wheel: a Center for Self Healing, the specialists will be hosting an open house (or open circle), on Feb. 20.
This free event is open to the public and will showcase holistic healing techniques and programs as well as an opportunity to meet the family.
The Medicine Wheel will hold open circles with programs scheduled on the third Sunday of each month and will be open other times by appointment.
