This website is primarily dedicated to that part of my soul path which is intricately connected with Native Americans and other indigenous people. (For a website that is broader in scope, please visit https://cynthiagreb.com/.)

Listening to my intuition, several years ago I began to make journeys around this country. These journeys were not vacations but more like pilgrimages or sacred adventures. The one in 2018 lasted three months and was focused primarily in northern California, Oregon, and Montana. The one in 2022 ended up being six months long, and when tracing the route on a map, looked rather like a huge crooked oval around the continental U.S. Then in early 2024, I completed a shorter journey down to Florida and back. There are many more such journeys in my future.

In 2018, I found myself discovering new things about several tribes and native people with whom I was unfamiliar. There was a lot of serendipity, grace, and peace as I slowed down to the “pace of nature,” offered prayer at places of sorrow, and had some unexpected mystical encounters. It was an incredibly rich time.

In 2022, after again receiving a strong message to travel, I chose 6 sacred or significant places I wanted to visit (or in two cases, revisit) and then let myself be guided to everything before, after, and in between those places. Those six places included: the amazing Serpent Mound in Peebles, OH; Gnadenhutten, OH; Wounded Knee, SD; Bear Lodge (aka Devil’s Tower), WY; Bighorn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming; and sacred Mt. Shasta in California. Along the way, I ended up discovering many ancient earth mounds and earthworks I’d never heard of before. I learned there were thousands of these mounds. I was continually struck by how inadequate our schools are if such significant creations are never even mentioned to our children. There are also way too many sites of battles and massacres where hundreds of native people were killed—not only men, but always women, children, and babies, too. These events were absolutely horrific and brutal and have also been glossed over in our history classes.

One day during a conversation with a nurse practitioner at a routine doctor visit in Pennsylvania, I realized that the average American knows very little about, not only the history of Native Americans but the lives they live now and the issues they care about now. For instance, did you know there are 574 federally recognized tribes? That’s a huge number! And native people say there are many, many more that the government doesn’t recognize. Since that conversation in the doctor’s office, part of my mission has become the sharing of what I have learned these past several years. And to that end I have been writing quite a bit (see my blog and stay tuned for a book in process), giving workshops and presentations both in person and online, and speaking at area churches, retirement centers, etc.

Native Americans have been both villified and glorified, but many Americans have never even had a conversation with a Native American. There is so much for each one of us to learn, so many ways to grow, and certainly much to atone for. I want to help facilitate all of these things.

Giving inspirational talks has been a part of my life for quite a while now. You can find out about Events, Workshops, Seminars, Talks, and Presentations below. Or you can check out some of my videos. I especially recommend these two: “Living as if the World is Sacred” and “Cultivating a Spirit of Hope.” You can also find inspirational videos of my talks HERE, including “Loving this Earth,” “Angels in our Midst–Human and Otherwise,” and “The Most Important Things Aren’t Things.” Also, listen to podcasts HERE, including: “We All Have a Spiritual Support Team,” “How Can We Birth a New Earth (Or, Co-creating the Shift We Yearn to See),” “The Power of Pilgrimage,” “Transforming Our Fear of Death,” and “Communing with the Spirits.” You can also find me on Facebook. If you’d like to purchase a copy of my book Grief and Grace: Stories at the Intersection of Life and Death, contact me at cynthia@cynthiagreb.com. (You can also order it on Amazon.)

Meanwhile, when you’re feeling discouraged, remember the words of these wise ones:

“The Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” ~Chief Seattle

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.” ~Arundhati Roy  

Be the Love. Be the Light.

Bless you all,
Cynthia
