Welcome back to Teachings in the Air, and join us as we go into our 6th season titled "The Healing Road"

The first episode is titled "Let the Healing Begin" and host Gerry shared some words about this upcoming season:

"This series of podcasts are going to be on healing for the mind, body, and spirit. When our

mind, body, and spirit is damaged or hurt we weaken and our lives can become unmanageable.

Once we are in trouble mentally, physically, or spiritually we must go look for help, so we can

live life to the fullest. We can and will reach our potential when we say hello to our problems

and say goodbye to them with the help of healers, knowledge keepers, counsellors, and

mentors. Healing is in ceremony, music, good food, counselling, meditation and positive

activities. Our healing strengthens when we support others on the Healing Road."

- Saa Hiil Thut (Gerry Oldman)

Let The Healing Begin is an introduction to our new season The Healing Road. Gerry shares his definition of Healing with us.

Then, shares personal stories of his healing journey, from looking at the earliest wounds, up to the current day.
