Abstract<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e9tis Grandmother, healer, heARTist, activist, and educator Fyre Jean Graveline invites readers to join her in Journeying Together aRound Sacred Medicine Wheel. It is a Journey to Revitalize Lived, In.tuitive, and Embodied Knowings; to ReAwaken Indigenous Ancestral cultural and spiritual belief systems; to embrace healthy Forms of Relationality based on matrilineal collective egalitarian power sharing; and to individually and collectively creatively reWeave our shared web of Ecological Sustainability, our Oneness. When unlearning colonial attitudes and learning Indigenous Ways of Knowing, seeing, being, and doing, We may be challenged and changed through what We are encountering. We can continuously Ground with.in Medicine Wheel and seek to reBalance by Connecting to our Senses, to Elemental Powers. Fyre Jean introduces the concept of HeARTivism to describe active engagement in creative change processes: We can make visible, give form, sound, movement, voice, words, to what We and our Relations have lived through, in ways that emPower us to Name and TransForm Dominant and Still Dominating People, Systems and Structures. Breathing and Earthing are introduced as practices to support us as We Journey to Find Balance in our UnBalanced World, to reVeal and TransForm our shared WorldEcology. This is the first of five chapters that walk readers around the Medicine Wheel: East Door, South Door, West Door, North Door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
