I’m Helena Perry

I’m a Two-Spirit, Indigenous land steward, educator, and self-proclaimed “feral bog witch” who has always felt more at home in the woods. 

As a child, my Mi’kmaw grandmother and two of my aunts passed their matrilineal traditional Indigenous plant knowledge on to me. They taught me the power of living in relationship with the land and humanity’s sacred responsibility as Nature’s stewards and caretakers. 

I believe everyone benefits from strengthening a deeper connection with Nature. I created Seven Fire Sanctuary to share this knowledge, inspired by family and the knowledge-keepers who have shared their teachings with me.
