The Ancestral Call to Balance Recovery Resource has been a sacred and deep experience for me. Although I have taken part in this recovery resource from a distance and on my own, Sandra has been steadfast, capable and compassionate teacher and support thorugh monthly phone calls and e-mails I particularly appreciated the meaningful medicine teachings, ceremony and the exercises that encouraged self-reflection and healing It is apparent to me that a tremendous amount of heart, person experience, thoughtfulness and creativity went into the development of this resource. I feel touched and enriched by my participation in it and I am grateful for how it supported and encouraged my own healing process. Respectfully yours, Andr`ee Ostiguy/Reiki Master

Sandra Of The Gardens ( Woodpecker Womin) BA Hon., B.Ed. I am a Metis woman of Ojibway, Cree and French descent. I am the granddaughter of a residential school survivor; this legacy has profoundly impacted and directed my life choices. I am mother of six children and a grandmother, all of whom have been my teachers. My journey of expressive arts began when I was five years old in my backyard sandbox. I am a visual artist and have been exhibiting my work since 1978. I am a teacher and have taught in a variety of settings always with an emphasis on using creativity as a catalyst for growth and change. I have facilitated expressive arts healing circles since 1999 and for the last 5 years have implemented Ancestral Call to Balances as an alternative recovery resource with individuals and groups. In the tradition of giving back what I have been given I share the struggles and gifts of my 28 years of recovery. Nominatee For The Ontario Arts Foundation Artist/Educator Award 2018
