Ep. 4 — Indigenous Wisdom and Sacred Bridging with Chelita Zainey

In this very raw episode of the iSōma Podcast, we’re honoured to sit with Aunty Chelita as she shares her powerful journey of personal healing, cultural remembrance, and spiritual insight.

Through deeply personal stories and ancestral wisdom, Auntie Chelita explores the dual path of the warrior, balancing the strength of the fierce warrior with the heart of a peaceful protector. We delve into the transformative practice of breathwork, the significance of reconnecting with cultural roots, and the vital role that Indigenous knowledge plays in both personal and collective healing. This conversation is a heartfelt offering for anyone seeking to walk with integrity, courage, and compassion in today's world. Please note that there is a prayer and invocation by Chelita at the beginning of this episode. It’s potent and can move things, note that before hitting play.
