everything is medicine
eim is a way of life
Listen to Olivia describe her philosophy, practice, and class
Olivia’s next 4-week virtual eim course will take place on Tuesdays on August 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th from 6–7:30 pm PST
Everything is Medicine (eim)
eim is a virtual course taught seasonally by Olivia Chumacero with 4 weekly sessions that teach invigorating indigenous perspectives and tools of resilience for these times.
During eim we road-trip through the synapses embedded in our subconscious. In each interactive session we become immersed in the ways to refresh, expand and grow our brains. The reconnections are guided by our ancestral blood memories (DNA) that we learn to access and use.
All humyns CARRY this knowledge. The hands-on activities guided with an Indigenous lens provide a road-map for the two-legged, so that we may live in Nature with respect, responsibility, and a reciprocating state of consciousness because “We are Nature, of Nature, with Nature,” as she continually reminds us.
Thank you so much for your interest and support in our elder’s work and teachings!
Dedicated to Your Inner Nature
…that which comes natural to us all
Listen quietly to what it tells you
Live with it away from everything & everyone
Be patient. Give it time. Nurture it in your everyday
though it may be the challenge of all challenges
Understand it like a child, swallowing every gulp
Eyes gorged with curiosity. Gently let it deflower your life
through pain, through love
Allow these words to exude from your blood memory because
anger and fear stunts the spirit
limits the breath of road needed to travel in the way of Nature
Do not stray
Do not live distanced from your Inner Nature
the heart will harden run cold
Cradle your Inner Nature
Laugh without restrain so one day you may dance into your death song
Thankful of the dandelion seed floating to nowhere
Thankful of a mother’s breath immersed in child-birthing-pain
Contemplate in gratitude while dreaming awake
Because It takes a lifetime
To know Yourself

"Art is a tool. Science is a tool. These two principle tools are continually evolving from the collective knowledge of the humxyn species. EVERY existing culture on our mother planet holds some aspect of this collective knowledge in its blood memory. Personally, I draw from my indigenous collective knowledge. I weave oral traditions, coyote stories, anecdotes, ceremonies, spirit runs, and observe the unspoken, the unwritten, the intangible. My signature tools are art and science while maneuvering through this journey called life.”

eim testimony
Leyanne Oliveira
“I joined Everything is Medicine after sending out a prayer request for an Elder. I was yearning for a space to connect to myself and the earth in an easy familiar way. Everything is Medicine exceeded all my expectations and hopes. I ended the cohort deeply wanting more of Olivia's medicine. Olivia's ability to simplify the magic of healing woke a wonder inside of me. I felt more connected to myself and the Earth from learning from this incredible elder and medicine woman. I value the relationship and love for Rosemary that now lives inside of me and the slow gentle respectful way I learned about her medicine from Olivia. If you want to ground into the truth and magic of plants and healing, do yourself a favor and join this fascinating class now. You will not regret it!”
