Chelsey Luger & Thosh Collins in Conversation With Sam McCracken
October 28, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeWhen wellness teachers and husband-wife duo Chelsey Luger and Thosh Collins founded their Indigenous wellness initiative, Well for Culture, they extended an invitation to all to honor their whole self through Native wellness philosophies and practices. In reclaiming this ancient wisdom for health and wellbeing — drawing from traditions spanning multiple tribes — they developed the Seven Circles, a holistic model for modern living rooted in timeless teachings from their ancestors. Luger and Collins have introduced this universally adaptable template for living well to Ivy league universities and corporations like Nike, Adidas, and Google, and now make it available to everyone in their wise guide. In The Seven Circles (HarperOne), Luger and Collins share intimate stories from their life journeys growing up in tribal communities, from the Indigenous tradition of staying active and spiritually centered through running and dance, to the universal Indigenous emphasis on a light-filled, minimalist home to create sacred space. The Seven Circles teaches us how to connect with nature, with our community, and with ourselves, and to
integrate ancient Indigenous philosophies of health and wellbeing into our own lives to find healing and balance. Luger and Collins will be joined in conversation by Sam McCracken, General Manager of Nike N7.
