Braided Roots

Welcome to a space for the children of exile and earth.
We walk the path of two spirits, two flames — and many ancestors.

We are all walking home.
Some of us carry two histories.
Some of us were born in-between.

Netiv — meaning path in Hebrew — is a space for the wandering and the rooted, the woven and the searching. A sacred studio of stories, symbols, and ritual that emerge from the meeting of Jewish mysticism and Native wisdom.

We are the descendants of those who remembered through fire.
We are the grandchildren of earth-healers and dreamers.
We carry our ancestors not in straight lines — but in spirals, in circles, in totems, in stars.

What Happens When Exile Meets Earth?

Some of us carry forests in our breath and deserts in our bones.
We come from two sacred lineages: one rooted in the soil, the other in the scroll.
From the drumbeat of our Indigenous elders to the whispered blessings of Shabbat candles,
our paths were once divided — but here, they braid together.

Netiv means “path” in Hebrew.
This space honors the old paths, the silenced stories, and the powerful synthesis emerging now.
For those born at the crossroads — you are not alone.
