Char Sundust is a teacher, mentor, healer, and visionary who assists others in cultivating and accessing their gifts by offering insight, information, and wisdom to create positive and sustainable changes. She provides ceremony for the celebrations and life passages all human beings experience, including births, weddings and commitments, convocations, graduations, rites of passage, and celebrations of life. Char’s healing practice integrates ancient and new technologies so more healing modalities are available. All healing begins with the soul. Char’s lineage is woven of mixed global heritages, which has inspired her to create programs for people to recover and discover their ancestral roots and spiritual identity and apply these learnings to support a deeply personal spiritual practice that can be applied to change our internal world, which creates positive change in the external world. Char’s program assists those who want to access their inherent body wisdom and to cultivate and develop their intuitive nature, and to recognize the voice in Spirit in their own natures. She has developed numerous programs for personal, professional, and spiritual development, including a year-long leadership and mentoring course, a program for personal healing and soul work, an applied spirituality program, a program called Flow for writers who use writing as a spiritual practice, and a couple’s workshop for people in committed relationships, because we bring ourselves to any relationship we are in. Char has been featured on KEXP, KZOK, The Jeff Renner Show, and Evening Magazine. Char was also featured on NPR, in collaboration with Charles Jefferson and her adoptive Lakota mother Barbara Means Adams, in “Iyaye.” Char hosts a monthly podcast that can be found at Medicine Media. She is the co-author of God, Death, and Poetry with William Whittman, and contributing author to the book Altar-Making. Char is an award-winning poet and her poetry can be heard on Thousands of Miles with David Close and Sol with Sonny Mishra. Char is deeply committed to the sustainability of nature and attending to the Earth’s well-being. She assists individuals in achieving their destinies through spiritual practice and personal accountability. She serves as a bridge of the many cultural wisdoms we have access to at this time to create tangible, positive change in our internal and external environments. Char comes from a rich spiritual background of mixed race and ethnic heritage. She thanks her mother, who has mixed indigenous roots from North and South America, Siberia, and Europe. Char also has near East and Middle Eastern heritage. Char thanks her adoptive family, who are Lakota-Sioux and French. Char is honored to be a protégé of Angeles Arrien and her work in transpersonal psychology and the four fold way. Char thanks all of these ancestors and is grateful for all that has been given her to serve and preserve what is good, true, and lasting.
