Trauma Healing & Prevention Services is a volunteer organization, and as such we owe our existence to the very Land we live on, The People who belong to this land, and the numerous Indigenous women and femmes we have met through birthwork who have shaped us into a vessel for kind, compassionate care.

If nothing else, we all owe the Land better stewardship. In our experience, better stewardship is the natural consequences of better relationships.

This specific video evolved out of an ancient "Eastern European" fairy tale, originally put to paper by  Александр Николаевич Афанасьев¹. The videos illustrations are either from Ива́н Я́ковлевич Били́бин² or inspired by his work.

This particular rendition was written by Trauma Healing & Prevention Services specifically for tonight, and was informed by workshops with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés as well as her book (with her own rendition of Vasilisa) "Women Who Run with the Wolves"³.
