Welcome to The Lodge

Welcome to The Lodge. A sacred space for Indigenous voices to rise, reclaim, and lead.

Rooted in Indigenous values and guided by ancestral wisdom, the Speaker & Training Lodge is a leadership and communication program for Indigenous changemakers, visionaries, and community members who are ready to speak with purpose and presence.  Whether you’re just beginning to find your voice or are being called to step more fully into your power, this circle offers the tools, teachings, and support to help you rise — not by leaving your identity behind, but by leading with it.
​
Here, your voice becomes medicine. Your story becomes power. And your leadership becomes a force for healing and change.

​Why It Matters Now...

You carry something sacred. A mission. A medicine. A message.
And yet, colonization taught us to quiet ourselves. To abandon our stories. To disconnect from our knowing.
Many of us were never taught how to speak with authority, clarity, or confidence — not because we weren’t capable, but because the systems around us weren’t made for our voices.
But our ancestors were powerful speakers, leaders, and visionaries. They prayed, taught, and led with story. They spoke for the land, for the people, and for the future.
​​
It’s time to reclaim that voice — not just for ourselves, but for those who came before and those still to come.

What is the Training Lodge...

The Training Lodge is an Indigenous-led, 8-week foundational communication and leadership program designed for changemakers who want to strengthen their voice and presence as leaders, facilitators, advocates, and storytellers.
​
It’s a culturally safe, trauma-informed space where you can reclaim your voice with pride, purpose, and power.

This isn’t about learning how to perform — it’s about remembering who you are and learning how to speak that truth into the world with clarity and conviction.

Why It's Different...

You won’t be asked to leave your identity, authenticity, passion, or boldness at the door.
This is a circle of mutual respect, relational accountability, and cultural grounding — led by someone who understands what it means to walk between worlds and still speak from the heart.
Each week includes teachings, skill-building, community practice, and reflections guided by guest facilitators and others.

What You'll Learn...

• Speaking with presence, purpose, and clarity
• Chairing and facilitating meetings or gatherings
• Organizing your message in ways that resonate
• Giving and receiving feedback that builds trust
• Using your voice, story, and body language as tools for impact

​The program culminates in a final showcase — an opportunity to share your message in a good way.

Who Is This For...

This is for Indigenous peoples 18+ who are:
  • Visionaries, healers, mentors, or creatives ready to speak more powerfully
  • Community leaders stepping into a bigger role or calling
  • Culture carriers reclaiming their voice for their ancestors and their people
  • Changemakers navigating identity, trauma, and purpose on their leadership path

​This is for you if you already hear the call — and are ready to rise.

What You'll Walk Away With...

  • Greater confidence in public speaking and facilitation
  • Refined clarity around your voice, story, and purpose
  • A toolkit of communication skills to support your mission
  • Practice sharing your truth in a culturally aligned space
  • A stronger connection to your leadership role and ancestral responsibility

What Comes Next...

After completing the 8-week Training Lodge, you’ll be invited to join our ongoing Speaker Lodge — a weekly circle for continued practice, presence, and power.
​
Together, these lodges are a place of remembering — where your voice becomes a tool for healing, change, and nation-building.
