About Chris “Spirit Bear” Gregg

I began exploration of spiritual practice at 22 years of age with Kundalini Yoga, focused breathing, and meditation.

Twenty years ago, I was introduced to a part of my heritage through the Lakota Inipi Purification Ceremony (Sweat Lodge). Perhaps for the first time in my life I felt I was at home. I learned this beautiful life-way and have been facilitating Lakota ceremony for many years, always striving to help others heal and find their way.

A teacher chose me to take on the honor and responsibility of carrying a Cannupa (Sacred Pipe) and I have pledged, pierced and danced at Sundance; after named a "Healer of The People”. I am honored and hold much gratitude for these things.

Walking the earth-medicine path of the Apache Niasziih tradition has reinforced my spiritual self and practice by facilitating deeper healing than I realized was possible.

In short, Niasziih is profoundly transformative and opening.

I am certified by the Good Medicine Society in Good Medicine Philosophy, Wisdom in Living, and Keli, and I am currently studying Natural Medicine.

I am also on a planning committee and provide live sound for a Powwows; which I enjoy greatly.
