“From the moment I encountered the founders of the Church of Our Ancestors, the feeling of warmth, love and care were unlike anything else I had felt before. Every act that Linda and John made only served to enhance the feeling of truly feeling at home and emotionally supported for the first time in my life. They walk their lives and carry the medicine with integrity, compassion, patience and strength.

As a result of this sense of home and safety they create, I was able to go deep into wounds and explore what it means to be a part of this fabric of life. To put it mildly, my experiences in medicine ceremonies with Linda and John completely changed my life and opened me up to a whole new world. I am forever grateful.”
