Journey Home is a video program rooted in Indigenous teachings that guide the healing and restoration of mind, body, spirit, and relationships. Inspired by the Nuu-chah-nulth concepts of T’ašii (“the pathway”) and Hašah (“for keeping”), we walk a path of making healthy choices, honoring what we hold dear, and passing it on to the next generation. Together, T’ašii Hašah is the pathway for keeping—cherished, lived, and shared.

Represents the home or sanctuary of our Creator God, which is His Law of Love, established for us in which to dwell.
Represents the vessel through which we can dwell once again in our Creator’s home. It is red for the blood of our Creator’s sacrifice to restore us into unity with Him.
Represents the two instruments of our Creator’s Truth (His Word) and Grace (His Love), which mobilize the canoe in which we make our journey home. They are white to symbolize the purity of Creators Truth & Grace. They are in the upright position symbolizing that we come in peace into our Creator’s House.
Represents a crucial message of warning from our Creator in His printed Word delivered through the canoe of His Grace for all His People. It is found in Revelation 14:6-12, and it is a 3-part message:
Restore a harmonious relationship we once had with our Creator with new wisdom from His printed Word.
The confusion of colonial “christianity” that’s been empowered by earthly governments to distort the true character of our Creator and which mobilized acts of destruction against Nations, Tongues & Peoples and their lands in “his name” will be called to account.
Decolonize our full human experience of mind, body, spirit, and relationship to nature and others by living in harmony with the way of our Creator’s Love & Peace, as described in His Law and demonstrated in the life of Jesus.
Represents our Creator’s Love embracing, healing and sheltering us on our journey home.
