✨ Connecting with Spirit Through Stillness

In our modern world, we are constantly pulled in a thousand directions.
Notifications, screens, schedules, and noise leave little room for the subtle voice of our own spirit.

Sometimes, the most sacred act we can do is simply disconnect.
Turn off the electronics. Step away from the noise. Let the space around you — and inside you — become quiet.

In that stillness, the nervous system begins to down-regulate.
Your heart softens. Your breath deepens. Your thoughts slow.
The tension in your shoulders, your jaw, your chest begins to melt.

This is the space where spirit can be felt.
Where intuition can speak.
Where clarity emerges.
Where you remember that you are not your to-do list, your emails, or your obligations — you are a living, breathing, sacred presence.

Indigenous traditions honor this pause.

They remind us that connection with spirit is not something we chase.
It is something we return to.
Like walking into a quiet grove, sitting by a stream, or breathing with the wind — we create space, and the medicine is already there.

Even a few minutes of mindful disconnect can restore balance.
Even a single breath in quiet can reconnect you to your own wisdom.
Even stepping outside without your phone can remind you that you belong first to yourself, then to the world.

Make space for peace. Make space for quiet.

Make space for Spirit.

✨ What Is Spiritual Coaching?

Spiritual coaching is a guided return to your own medicine.

It’s the space where your story, your spirit, and your psychology meet — gently, honestly, without judgment.

In this work, we explore the patterns that shape your life, the beliefs you carry, and the parts of you that are still waiting to be acknowledged.

We look at the way your nervous system protects you, the ways your heart expresses truth, and the ways your soul is asking you to grow.

Spiritual coaching blends grounded, evidence-informed tools — reflection, integration work, emotional awareness, Shadow + inner child exploration — with ancestral and Earth-based wisdom.

It’s not about giving you answers.
It’s about helping you hear your own.

Together, we step into your inner landscape:
listening to the whispers beneath the noise,
tending to the wounds you’ve carried alone,
and reconnecting you to the wisdom you were born with.

This is a path of remembering, realigning, and reclaiming who you came here to be.

Your healing.
Your truth.
Your medicine.

✨ Give the Gift of Healing This Holiday Season

The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also feel heavy — full schedules, big emotions, family dynamics, and the pressure to hold everything together.

This is the time of year when our bodies ask for rest…
our hearts ask for presence… and our spirits ask for a moment to breathe.

A gift certificate from The Medicine Way is more than a gift — it’s an invitation to slow down.

To receive.
To reconnect.
To remember that you deserve care, comfort, and healing too.

Whether it’s Massage, Energy Work, Spiritual Coaching, or Shamanic Practices, every session supports the nervous system, balances the heart, and brings you back into your body with more grounding, clarity, and peace.

✨ Holiday Special (through December)

Enjoy up to $20 off:
• $100 for 60 minutes

✨ How Do We Know We Need Spiritual Coaching?

We know we need spiritual coaching when the life we’re living no longer matches the life our spirit is asking for.

It starts subtly: a heaviness in the chest, a restlessness in the heart, a quiet knowing that something inside is shifting — even if we can’t name it yet.

Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself.

Maybe you’ve lost the clarity you once had.

Maybe you’re moving through the world, but not with it — tired in a way sleep doesn’t touch, craving depth, meaning, or direction.

You might notice old patterns repeating…

the same wounds resurfacing…

or the same internal whisper saying, “There is more for you than this.”

In Indigenous ways, these are not signs of failure — they are messages.

The spirit asking for attention.

The soul tapping softly on the door.

The ancestors nudging you toward remembrance.

Spiritual coaching becomes the place to pause, to listen deeply, and to realign your life with your truth.

It is a guided, gentle return to yourself — to the wisdom you carry, the balance you seek, and the path you feel but haven’t yet stepped onto.

You know you’re ready for spiritual coaching when you can feel the space between who you are… and who you are becoming.

And you’re ready to walk toward that becoming with intention.

I love what I do. I do what I love ❤️

I never imagined what I would become when I grew up. I didn’t grow up wanting to have a particular career. All I knew was that I wanted be of service and helping others brought me joy.

My higher spirit chose the path less traveled. It hasn’t been easy by any means. I’ve had to learn from the hard knocks of life 1st. Single mom. Abusive relationships with myself and others. Jobs that made “just enough” money but had no purpose.

Over time I learned the value of education and investing in myself. I wanted better for me. I wanted better for my son. As I continued to “wake up” in my 20’s I had a strange calling to know more about bodywork, specifically massage and somatic polarity therapy. So I did!!

It has become the love of my life and the best gift I’ve given myself (until graduate school). I wake up every morning with so much gratitude for the work that do. Every day is different, never the same. I t thrive knowing about anatomy and physiology. The body is such a miracle!! I’m so grateful to bring joy, peace, relief, and a quality of presence into all my healing spaces.

Thank you Great Creator, Mother Earth, and Father Sky 🙏🏽Thank you to all my ancestors for the abundance and privileges you have afforded me in this life ✨And mostly I’m grateful for the family and friends who always cheered me on and saw the best in me, even when I didn’t.

So thank you. Thank you Taahaabaah for showing up and helping me to become more whole. And healed. I’m proud of you sweet girl 🌸

Thank you for capturing this moment .riccio

💜 A Call for Love & Support for My Little Sister, Madge Calamity Duus

Family & friends… this has been a hard one to share.

On September 25th, my little sister was in a near-fatal car accident. By the grace of our ancestors, her spirit allies, and the prayers of so many of you, she is still here with us. She is still recovering at Christus St, Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, NM, working through bi-lateral pelvic fractures, a traumatic brain injury, and internal healing of the liver and spleen.

Even through the pain, she remains in such beautiful spirits — calling on her ancestors, leaning into her cultural roots, and showing the same resilience that she has always poured into her community and her work with Indigenous peoples.

As we prepare for the long road ahead, IAIA (Institute of American Indian Arts) has generously offered to host a national online silent auction beginning December 13th to support her recovery, medical care, and home accessibility needs.


We are humbly asking for donated items for the auction:
✨ Artwork
✨ Jewelry
✨ Gift certificates
✨ Cultural workshops / experiences
✨ Spa or resort stays
✨ Handmade or collectible items

Donation Deadline: December 6, 2025

Ship items to:
Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA)
c/o Kara Clem – Office of Institutional Advancement
83 Avan Nu Po Road
Santa Fe, NM 87508

If you or someone you know would like to donate something meaningful from the heart, it would make a true difference in Madge’s healing journey.

Thank you for your prayers, love, generosity, and for holding our family during this time.
We feel you. We feel your support. And Madge feels it most of all. 🤍✨

🌿 Sacred Soul Breathwork and Sananga Ceremony
Sunday, November 23 | 1-4pm | $55
Upward Light Healing and Yoga


A Shamanic Journey of Vision and Release. Join us for a powerful afternoon of Conscious Connected Breathwork and Sananga ceremony, a sacred offering of clearing and renewal for the mind, body, and spirit. Through the rhythm of the breath and the medicine of the eyes, we awaken our inner vision, release stored emotion, and restore balance within.

Guided in a ceremonial space of safety and prayer, we begin with conscious connected breathing, a continuous circular breath that helps open the heart, quiet the mind, and move energy through the body. We then share Sananga, a traditional Amazonian eye medicine used by Indigenous tribes for centuries to clear energetic and physical blockages, support grounding, enhance focus and intuition, and open inner sight.

Eat lightly, hydrate well, avoid stimulants, and bring a journal, water, and an eye cloth. Those with recent eye surgery or sensitivities should not participate in the Sananga portion, though you are welcome to join for the breathwork and energetic components.

✨Holiday Art Supply Drive — Share the Gift of Creativity

This holiday season, as the cost of living continues to rise, many families are struggling to meet basic needs, leaving little room for the simple joys that spark imagination. For children, creative play isn’t just fun — it’s a lifeline for expression, healing, and hope.

Throughout November and December, we’re hosting an Art Supply Drive to support Native American children in need through the Phoenix Indian Center (www.phxindcenter.org). Instead of toys, we’re collecting new and unused art supplies — coloring books, colored pencils, markers, paints, paintbrushes, sketch pads, and other creative materials. The deadline for donations is December 12.

Donations can be dropped off at any of our ongoing events during the season or at Sozo Healing House (51 W. Elliot Rd, Suite 105 or 112, Tempe AZ 85284). Every contribution, big or small, helps light up a child’s world with color, creativity, and possibility.

Together, we can share more than just gifts this holiday — we can share inspiration, imagination, and love.
