The School of Intergenerational Healing: 3-Day Intensive
10 years of healing, packed into 3 days.
For the last decade, Natives Rising has worked to economically empower Indigenous communities across the U.S. and Canada. But here's what we learned along the way: money alone doesn't heal. Sometimes it even makes things worse.
Intergenerational trauma, the echo of boarding schools, colonization, and genocide, doesn't just live in history. It shows up today as lateral violence, addiction, anxiety, and broken relationships. And until we heal it, no amount of wealth can make us whole.
That's why we're opening the first School of Intergenerational Healing.
Founder Danielle Forward spent over $100,000 and years of her own life healing complex PTSD and chronic anxiety, training as a hypnotherapist and combining the best of Western neuroscience with Indigenous ways of knowing into one method she now teaches. This is that method, distilled into three days.
147 years ago, the first Native American boarding school opened with exactly 147 students. On November 1, 2026, we open the School of Intergenerational Healing with exactly 147 seats, to begin transforming that legacy for the next seven generations.
