This year, we are so honored to welcome Great-Grandmother Mary Lyons. She is an Ojibwe elder and spiritual advisor. Raised on an Ojibwe reservation in northern Minnesota and experiencing first-hand the challenges of alcohol and drug addiction, Great-Grandmother Mary Lyons wrestled with her own demons as she learned from Native elders and her ancestors how to live a positive, fulfilled life. Now a tireless advocate for fostered, adopted and at-risk children from all backgrounds, she travels and teaches internationally, passing on the wisdom from her indigenous tradition.
Great Grandmother Mary Lyons is an International keynote speaker and seminar leader, from the Parliament of World Religions, NYC Climate March, Global Elder’s Gathering on Climate Change and a United Nations Indigenous Observer, just to mention a few. She is the author of Wisdom Lessons, focusing on self-development, self-care and personal empowerment.
