What do we mean when we say "everyone welcome"?

As much as I try to make myself and this space a welcoming place, I still see the hesitation, I still get asked “is this for me?” so I want to share with you all what I mean when I say “everyone welcome”.

I mean you. You are welcome.

You are welcome to come however you are; in curiosity, in pain, in joy, in search, in doubt, in fear, in longing.

Medicine of the Red Road was born out of need, a need for access to medicine, to knowledge, to community, to healing. We know that it can be hard and scary and awkward to go to new spaces, whether that be physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. But we invite you to trust that at Medicine of the Red Road you will be met with love, with acceptance, and the safety and space to be you, in fullness, in messiness, in all of the learning and figuring it out.

There’s a poem by Andrea Gibson that I’ve always loved…

“Come be everything you are, my love.

Come love this world, come hate it too.

Come undone, come falling apart.

Come every age you have ever been.

Come tantrum in the grocery store.

Come screaming for what’s sweet.

Come willing to spill, willing to stain the windows of the angry church.

Come nervous brave.

Come tender as the trees forgiving the books for asking to be made.”

So come be everything that you are. We’ll be here, looking forward to meeting you <3
