Episode Synopsis

George sits down with Smulthun (Thomas George Jr.), a cultural practitioner from Halalt First Nation with deep roots across the Coast Salish world. Known for his work in men’s wellness, sweat lodge ceremonies, and youth support, Smulthun reflects on how cold water baths, traditional medicine, and ancestral teachings have guided his healing. 
He shares teachings from his grandmother, takeaways from years of spiritual practice, and what it means to carry cultural knowledge with care and accountability. 
This episode reminds us that healing isn’t always loud or visible — sometimes, it looks like water, medicine, ceremony, and showing up for the people around you.
