About The Healing Place Foundation — Tsi-Tesakotitsén:tha on Substack @HealingPlaceMayneIsland

This publication is for people who sense that something in modern life is off — not because we are broken, but because we have been separated from the very systems that sustain us.

I write about land, food, ethics, culture, and worldview with a focus on clarity over ideology, connection over polarization, and stewardship over extraction. My work sits at the intersection of intelligence and relationship — where systems thinking meets place-based living.

I live on S,ḴŦAḴ (Mayne Island) with my partner David Fierro. Together, we hunt, grow, make art, teach, and work with Indigenous and settler communities on governance, cultural revitalization, food sovereignty, and land-based healing.

If you’re here to think more clearly, reconnect with what matters, and explore a different way of being human in a disconnected world, you’re in the right place.

David & I are co-authoring two books on these topics - one is a Fallow Deer cookbook called "From Hide to Hearth" and the other is "Reclaiming Stewardship: Ethics, Food, and Land in a Disconnected World"
