Alaska

The greater Alaska region is home to dozens of EARTH community members. One of the seeds to the collaborations between The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and Indigenous Communities began in ~2008 when two CMBM faculty members were invited to several remote villages in Alaska. Later in 2010, another EARTH community member presented the vision of bringing mind-body medicine to the Pine Ridge (Oglala Lakota) community, and learned of the earlier connections in Alaska, deepening the spirit-led vision that has now emerged as EARTH.
