The tools gathered in my medicine bag include:
"I am not here to make a new form of knowledge, we have forefathers and foremothers who have substantiated that already from all four directions. I am here to help us have a conversation together on how to reset in the places that we have gotten so off course with certain aspects of our society has chosen to value things that disconnect us, from ourselves, others and our environment.
To summate it simply, would be to say that we need kindness in all three areas: kindness to the self, kindness to others, and kindness to the environment. Yet, we need an entire unlearning and relearning process to get there. We have a global reality on our hands that civilization has never seen before: Globalization and an Anthropocene era, mixed with disconnected traumatized folks.
To be able to return to homeostasis both socially and individually, as well as modify and adapt to new horizons of what globalization is leading to, we must be wise in our actions, choices and direction. Core values steer the way we are going and it would be wise to connect and discern what the core values are going to be moving forward. It is challenging to know one's core values when there is fear, trauma, ego, competitive mindsets, and shallow pleasure-seeking in the way.
The outcome of what we choose in the coming decade will matter substantially, and if we choose to continue to treat the smoke rather than the fire, we will continue down a certain path. Rather, if we choose to work together to create goals related to healthy connecting and healing, we will be on a path much more suitable for the future generations. It is easy to be kind, we just make it complicated!"

Kaja Gjesdal - Simply Sacred Podcast Co-Host
Kaja Gjesdal is a lover of the ancient arts, with a focus on Tibetan Tantra, and Kundalini activation.
Studying with Shamanic teachers since 2016, she has a passion for assisting others through trauma healing with the use of psychedelic medicines, yoga, Reiki, mantras, and movement.
Kaja draws much of her wisdom about trauma from lived experience and her own healing journey.
Spending her teens as a sex addict with childhood sexual abuse, she became a single mother at an early age.
To support herself and child she soon had a dream of becoming an actress and model, which she persued for many years.
Performing for a short time as an exotic dancer, she met a professional hockey player, and left acting to focus on family.
After having her second child she opened a cannabis wellness centre in Kelowna BC
with her partner, who was suffering with addictions and mental health.
It was after the traumatic death of her love of fifteen year from a brain tumour in 2017, that led Kaja into her deeper purpose around studying and practicing the healing of the body, mind, and soul, through ancient wisdom, cannabis, psilocybin, and Ayahuasca.
In 2019 she received an empowerment from a Tibetan doctor, Dr.Nida Chenagtsang, whom she continues to study with at the Sowa Rigpa Institute of Traditional Tibetan Medicine.
“I want to show people how we can love ourselves more deeply, and learn how to Make Love to The World”
