As a child, one of the first biblical stories that I remember being told was the story of Adam and Eve. The story of our earliest ancestors. The earthly mother and father of humanity.

A story so deep, profound, and simple; yet, so complex.

It took me years to see beyond its theological roots and to understand the profound life lessons it provides. Lessons about the human experience, the dangers of deception, and the journey towards the liberation of our mind, body, and soul. In this article, we will analyze this story through the lenses of spirituality, psychology, and decolonization; uncovering insights that are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.

Today, we honor and pay homage to the Indigenous people of this land—the true and original stewards of the place we call home.

We give thanks for their courage, bravery, and resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges. We celebrate their wisdom in teaching us how to live in harmony with nature, connect with Spirit, and find oneness within ourselves. Their culture is rich, their traditions profound, and their legacy enduring.

This Thanksgiving, we dedicate our gratitude to the Indigenous people, acknowledging their deep contributions to this land and to all of us. May we honor their truth and continue to learn from their strength and wisdom.

Let today be a day of reflection, connection, and a commitment to celebrating the true history of this land. 🍂💛

“As time and my healed eyes opened, I realized it wasn’t unforgiveness or merely my inability to forget. It was grief.” -Morgan Richard Oliver

Allow yourself to grieve the loss of your inner child’s innocence and joy. Relentlessly pursue all that was wrongfully taken from you! It’s time to take it back!

As we observe Su***de Prevention Month, it’s crucial to acknowledge the specific challenges faced by the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community when it comes to mental health and su***de prevention. For many in these communities, mental health struggles are stigmatized, minimized, or misunderstood, leaving individuals isolated in their pain. At the Urban Institute of Mental Health (UIMH), we are committed to changing this narrative and providing the tools for early intervention, awareness, and healing.

Over the past four years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to providing culturally competent and compassionate mental health care to individuals and communities that deserve to feel seen, heard, and healed. From our workshops and therapy sessions to our advocacy for decolonized mental health practices, we are proud of the progress we’ve made and the lives we’ve touched.
