Courses

I have taken several classes, including Sacred Sisters and Circles of Life, with Robin, and the Journey of the White Bear was the next step for me in my personal path. Learning another level of trust within my self, how to let the dream unfold and come to me and ways to be in community with others and support them. Most importantly for me is how to move forward into my next chapter and how I want to show up. The class has empowered me to be available in a more confident and authentic way. There is so much wisdom and guidance in Robin’s teachings that there is always something to connect to. Robin is gracious in letting her students show up where they are and asking questions is encouraged, there is so much to be gained from each other’s sharing and responses from Robin. I received many gifts from attending Journey of the White Bear classes and am grateful for the opportunity.

Robin is a wisdom keeper and grandmother that welcomes everyone from all classes and cultures.
She is bicultural and has so much experience being mixed native and educated. In the classes she taught me how to work with the Medicine Wheel in all directions. She has so much wisdom of the phases of a woman's life.  In the Sacred Sisters course we gathered with many different woman. After 3 years we still gather with those sisters. Many different persons, talents and lives, but by holding space, prayers and the medicine way together we’ve made a bond for life. And we honor our differences. We learned a lot of native wisdom to practice in holding circles.
For me personally there was a lot of healing having so many different sisters. We all have a mother and sister wound. From that I got more respect for my mother and myself accepting we all get our lessons, but by sharing them, we learn from each other. And nourish each other.
I learned to show up for myself, something I never learned always taking care ofl others. And also learned that other people are responsible for their lessons and reaching out for help.

The Sacred Sisters course I attended helped me to see how important connection is to Robin. I see it as a critical component in our lives on a daily basis, in every aspect of our lives.
Also, respect should & is truly a strong base of indigenous teachings that Robin integrates in ALL her teachings.

Brave Brothers
The brave brothers course with Grandmother Robin was an amazing experience. Together, we shared: our hearts, our vulnerabilities, our connection, our tears, our passions, our weaknesses, our strengths. We reflected on the masks we put on in different life circumstances, and who is underneath. Grandmother shows us that we can surrender, we can open up and shed our guilt and shame and find forgiveness for ourselves. As a man, we can find our courage to be and speak our true authentic selves and all of the emotions that comes along with us, in healthy ways.
Robin has taught us practices and exercises that allow us to go within ourselves and bring out divine masculine energy. Gentle and safe yet strong, humble but brave, sovereign but united with those around us, connected with love, nature, and spirit. As a man, I can talk about hardships and show vulnerability. I can weep and be proud. I can center my heart and mind and find harmony. Just as importantly, we learn how to connect with our fellow brothers and communities in the same ways we do with ourselves. In that way, we can step up and incorporate these teachings and practices to connect with fellow men in our everyday lives while creating new friendships with the other brave brothers. It is time for man to reconnect, and we must pave our own path forward through forgiveness, compassion, harmony and love.
I am eternally grateful for all that Grandmother has shared with us and guided us towards and have profound respect and love for her and her teachings.
