In a class I’m taking on line, a video featuring Doniga Markegard of Markegard Family Grass-Fed, explains how the seven sacred principles of the Lakota nation were taught to her as a child by her mentor Gilbert Walking Bull, and how these principles continue to inform her life and her approach to business. Her family farm in California, her commitment to these principles, to teaching, to connections, and to community are an inspiration.
The Seven Sacred Principles:
Sacred Silence
Compassion
Deep Caring for All Creation
Taking Action
Being Fully Alive
Joy Of a Child
Connection of Mind, Body & Spirit
