What are you being called to do? Identifying your purpose (the indigenous way)
Audio intro:
Script:
I once believed that I had one purpose. I thought that this purpose was my north star and that my journey in this lifetime was to seek and find this purpose.
What am I meant to do in this life?
What is the meaning of my life?
For years I followed along with teachings by people that told us that our purpose was grand and that it would come to you, be this whole awakening.
But here's what I've learned. Life is not a niche. Purpose is not fixed. It is fluid. Like the tides. Like the seasons. Purpose isn’t something you find. It’s something you uncover. It already lives inside you. The work is to remove what blocks it—not to force it into existence.
Purpose has been stripped from its true essence, sold back to us, capitalized, and whitewashed.
However, Indigenous wisdom teaches something entirely different.
In many Indigenous traditions, purpose is not a role you play or a goal you reach.
It’s a relationship—one that lives in your body, your breath, your spirit, your choices.
It’s not fixed. It moves with you.
Your purpose is not something to figure out. It is something to remember.
To listen for.
To let emerge.
Purpose is not a destination. It's not tied to anything but your life journey. It's a relationship with self—a dialogue with the cosmos.
The calling—the soul's purpose—reveals itself throughout your life.
Not just in pivotal, huge ways but in quiet ones, ordinary ones. In whispers. In sighs. In a single breath. Through being present with all the parts of self, your experiences, hardships, lessons, joys, grief, magic, all of which dwells in your existence.
In this workshop, we explore how to understand your calling in a world that keeps pulling you away from yourself.
I believe you're here because something inside you has shifted. You might not have all the words for it yet, but something no longer fits or feels right. The way you used to work, the things you used to chase, the roles you used to play—they don't feel aligned anymore.
And maybe you're not sure what's next. Perhaps you're grieving what was while also reaching for what's to come. That in-between space is sacred. You are not lost. You are finding your way back to yourself.
You're not alone in this. Many of us have felt or are feeling the same way.
Everything begins in presence. In the now. While you are existing.
For me, I learned that I was a hundred different versions of thought but no clear essence of self.
I decided to stop chasing another version of myself. Instead, I would anchor into who I am—right now. I would help myself cut the threads tied to old versions of me, the ones that filled my life with goals, people, and expectations that didn't align with my truth.
Why was I busy creating a character when I could've chosen to live?
Instead of nourishing myself, I was studying myself like a concept. Instead of living, I was performing. Instead of tending to my spirit, I was chasing an illusion.
So, if any of this resonates with you, I hope that by the time you finish this workshop, you will have found your way home to yourself.
Not to a label.
Not to a job title.
Not to a box.
But to your breath.
Your rhythm.
Your essence.
Your relationship with purpose.
Here's how soul misalignment often shows up:
• You're constantly burnt out or bored
• You feel like you're pretending
• You keep trying to "fix" yourself
• Nothing feels fulfilling
• You're craving meaning, slowness, and depth
• You feel like you're in constant battle with yourself
• You question your worth and capabilities
• You feel like you're not doing enough or showing up enough
• You feel the urge to disappear, to escape reality
• Your emotions run you instead of becoming a well of wisdom
If you're feeling any of this, please know It's your soul saying, "This is not it."
That nudge? That ache? That calling that keeps coming back?
That's your compass, trying to return to you.
