An experiential Native American healing practices course, co-taught by a Native American pastoral counselor and a counselor educator, was offered to graduate counseling students to help them better understand Native American worldviews. A student participant's reflections are included. Students attended Native American ceremonies and learned through readings, lectures, and discussions. This article describes a graduate-level counseling class offered to familiarize budding counselors with some perspectives of Native American healing practices through direct experiences as well as discussions and readings.
