Native America Calling: Gearing yourself up for 2026

Gearing yourself up for 2026
Whether you view the New Year as a good time for a hard reboot or just a few tweaks here and there, a few words of encouragement can’t hurt.
A lot of people see January as the time to launch a new exercise routine or start being a more patient parent. It doesn’t necessarily take an established place of worship or hours in a quiet room to engage with your own internal strengths.
Join Native America Calling for a panel of experts in mindfulness and using one’s own cultural connections to help stay on a more positive and meaningful path.
