Virtual Author Talk: Asha Frost
Registration for this program is required, as space is limited. This program is a virtual event and does not have an in-person component. Participants can join the event using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. A link to the online event will be provided after registering. In a fast-paced world that often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, true healing does not come from looking outward—it begins within. Join us for a transformative virtual conversation with Indigenous Medicine Woman Asha Frost as she explores her groundbreaking book, You Are the Medicine: 13 Indigenous Teachings to Connect to Your Inner Wisdom, Reclaim Your Power, and Heal. The Medicine you have been searching for lives within you. Follow the path of the 13 Ojibwe Moons with Animal Spirits and Ancestors as your guides as you unlock your connection to your own unique, inherent healing power. Through storytelling, ceremonies, and Shamanic journeys, learn to apply ancient wisdom to your life in ways that are respectful and conscious of the stolen lands, lives, and traditions of Indigenous peoples. Discover how to: - Ground and root into your own lineage and meet your Ancestral guides.- Practice self-care and rest on your journey.- Return to Ancestral ways of cleansing and purifying.- Trust and surrender so you can manifest and thrive.- Release self-doubt, fear, disconnection, and insecurity. About the Author: Asha Frost (she/her) is an Indigenous Medicine Woman and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation.

As an energy healer, homeopath, and mentor, Asha has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation.

Through this work, she loves seeing people reclaim their roots, find their healing wisdom, and rise into their power.
