| Organizational Description: | Proud Pathways is a safe community where mothers or children (aged 5-15) can come and learn unique skills that will challenge them to reconnect to the role model and leader they are meant to be. Understanding our ancestry, helps us to forgive, send love and peace, so previous family generations can be at peace, and we can move forward to reach the heights that we only dreamed of! As mentors, Proud Pathways will guide you to accept where you are today and build on skills that may have been denied to you, like using your voice or being resourceful with what nature has provided. Using storytelling, nature's elements (water, earth, air, fire and energy) and a safe space to build on qualities that already exist, we can clear any obstacles to make our journey easier than what currently exists. Proud Pathways is founded on indigenous teachings though is open to all who strive to be their greatest self. You already have it in you, we simply help you open the door! |
