There’s so much possibility for healing, and also a responsibility to reckon with the histories that shape how we work with sacred medicines today

At GatherWell, we’re reflecting on what reparations and reciprocity really mean in practice: repair that is tangible, not symbolic, relationships that are ongoing, not extractive, and a way of walking with Indigenous lineage holders, the land, and the medicines themselves with humility and integrity.

This week on Substack, we explore how these principles guide our work, our apprenticeships, and our relationships with the Mazatec lineage. And we invite you to consider:
What does repair look like in your lineage?
What does reciprocity look like where your feet touch the earth?

In this season of noise, deals, and doing, we’re choosing a different rhythm.

No urgency.

Just presence. Just breath. Just you.

May this weekend be an invitation to soften into yourself — to meet your own heart with compassion, to listen to what your body has been whispering, and to honor whatever you’re carrying with tenderness.

If all you do is slow down, sip something warm, or sit in a moment of real presence… that is more than enough.

Wishing you stillness, kindness toward yourself, and a gentle return to what truly matters. 🌿✨

How did this quote land on you? Who or what are you reading these days? Let us know in the comments 💚

For the month of November, a time when the overculture persists in a false narrative of how the United States came to be, we want to share a book list of Indigenous authors, artists and visionaries. While we don’t have personal relationships with them, and it is by no means complete or comprehensive, they are among those whose work we’ve found impactful.

For a longer list of thought + feeling provoking indigenous authors, check out our latest Substack post. Link in bio.

Louise Erdrich is an enrolled citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota, a federally recognized Ojibwe people. Erdrich is widely acclaimed as one of the most significant writers of the second wave of the Native American Renaissance.

Erdrich has written 28 books in all, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and children’s books including, but not limited to: Love Medicine (1984), Tracks (1988), The Antelope Wife (1998), The Bingo Palace (1994), The Painted Drum (2005), The Plague of Doves (2008), The Birchbark House (1999), The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse (2001), The Round House (2012), Antelope Woman (2016), Future HOme of the Living God (2017), The Night Watchman (2020), The Sentence (2021), The Mighty Red (2024).

The class is preparing to do a performance in their town in December. We continue to get brief updates that the project is going well!

The Mazatec Cultural Foundation has the funds they need to begin this first year phase of procuring instruments and have begun to teach Mazatec children music and songs in their native tongue 🎶

While the goal has been met, there will be an ongoing opportunity to donate to keep the foundation alive and thriving and prepared to continue the project next year.

You will be able to make donations year round via the Mazatec Reciprocity page on our website. All funds are tax deductible and 100% goes directly to the foundation.

In a culture that glorifies constant motion, stillness can feel radical. Yet it’s in the slowing down — the return to rhythm, to breath, to ritual, that true healing begins. 🌿

Psychedel!c work reminds us of this truth: that transformation is not found in running from discomfort, but in turning toward it with presence. Ceremony, integration, and community are the slow medicine.

🌀 Slow down. Remember ritual. Face yourself, gently.

Honoring the roots of this day — the Indigenous and ancestral traditions that remind us life, death, and rebirth are all part of one sacred cycle. 🌘
