Murphy shares her gift of writing in her newsletter Our Medicine.
"Our Medicine is a weekly exploration of love, storytelling, and rematriation. The focus is on Indigenous community building, personal and collective medicine, and a collection of beliefs grounded in love and togetherness as a means of surviving and thriving. Love, as we define it, is medicine. This writing is an exploration of the human tapestry of wisdom rooted in collective care.
Together, we have the knowledge we need to heal our planet - we just need to be reminded of it, and to feel like it is worthwhile to practice it.
The letter is written by, me, Murphy Barney, Two Spirit sister, doula, storyteller, and public healther. Like many others, my great grandmother was taken from her home and put into a boarding school for Indigenous children. Now, my generation is on a journey of rematriation and connection. I believe this is a journey that all folx whose families have been disrupted by colonialism are on, and I have to believe that if we do this together we can build a more just world."
