Welcome to The Village Green

The village green is for you and me. It is for the growing all-of-us that yearn to re-envision a brand new world dream. A village that welcomes its inhabitants to come together to bless and encourage a new way of seeing and doing. A village that can connect with other like minds around the pixels of the world, to participate in a building of a network of creative dreamers, visionaries, explorers and practitioners of hope and inspiration.

Sarah Maclean Bicknell is a healer, teacher, and mentor. She has studied healing and ceremonial work in North American indigenous traditions for 30 years. She has incorporated her Celtic roots into her present North American practice and is sought out for her intuitive readings, workshops, ceremony, and her soul doctoring practice. She stands in deep gratitude to her elders and teachers that have gone before and stands firmly in her own vision, a vision that is related and crafted for these times of the 21st century. Her work is about connection, community, ceremony and respect. Also raised in the Western world, she has lived the loss of disconnection and is profoundly thankful to her indigenous elders who taught her how to re-arrive more fully into her life.

In 1991, Sarah was adopted by ceremony into the Hunka Waye tradition of the Lakota Nation. She stands in deep honor to the elders and ceremonial collaborators who have shaped her path. These include Adalberto Rivera (Maya), Wallace Black Elk (Lakota), Rod McAfee, Grandmother Red Leaf (Cherokee), Donna Carlita, Hernando Salazar (Inca, Peru), Silvia Calisaya Chuquimia (Aymara, Lake Titicaca), Youseff Bashir (Berber, North Africa), Betsy Bergstrom (NW Coastal, Norse, Scottish), Francesca Boring (Shoshone and Northern Native European), Harold Blood, Carolyn Hillier, K. Trevelyan (Northern Native European), Stephan Hausner (Germany), and many others around the world with whom she has sat, dreamt, and stood in ceremony with.

She also acknowledges the complex legacy of Buck Ghost Horse, who played a significant role in her early ceremonial life. While he was a powerful and transformative teacher, it has since come to light that he was not of Lakota ancestry as once believed. Sarah holds both the real impact of his teachings and the responsibility to walk in truth, honoring the lineages he claimed with greater care and clarity now.

Sarah’s effectiveness as a teacher and mentor is seated in her ability to move quickly with a core style of kindness, pragmatism, humor, and discipline. In workshops or in private session, she is adept at astute listening, enabling her to tease out and distill core issues in both individuals and groups. She synthesizes information quickly to determine what is really needed to shift entire belief systems and break up the gridlocks that keep people and organizations from arriving at their best work.

All those who seek support and like-minded space to create practices of creative intention and prayer, of mutual support and reflection that is experienced as uplifting, helpful, and companionable.

A place to informally be in conversation with Sarah and her guests, to experience the helping hand of many to create a greater reservoir of unconditional love for you, your family, and out into the greater world.

Creative Dreamers, Visionaries, Explorers, and Practitioners of Hope and Inspiration.
