PRESENTED BY:
Alexander John Shaia, PhD, CST-T/ISST
January 18, 2025 1:00 - 3:30 PM MST
The indigenous peoples of the Americas have much to teach us. Their wisdom is a corrective to Western culture and its lack of harmony.
In this presentation, we will consider vital aspects of the Navajo Creation Story (Diné Bahané), including how it portrays a dialectic within gender, as well as perspectives on Shadow.
Specifically, we will work with the third cycle of the Diné Bahané "Slaying the Monsters”.
