"THE VOICES OF THE ANCESTORS LIVE WITHIN YOU."
-DR. RUBY GIBSON
Walk the path with us.
Reflections, practices, and offerings rooted in land, lineage, and embodied wisdom.
Hi there,
I'm Dr. Ruby Gibson
I am the developer of Somatic Archaeology© and the Executive Director of Freedom Lodge. As an international healer, speaker and cultural educator, I have spent my life developing and training others in Somatic Archaeology©, a transgenerational approach to wellness, familial recovery, and reclaiming memory. I developed my book, My Body, My Earth, The Practice of Somatic Archaeology©, as well as My Body, My Breath™, A Tool for Transformation card deck with Ola Faye Bass. As the trainer and developer of the Historical Trauma Master Class for Native Americans, I am honored to witness the amazing capacity that each person has to reconcile suffering. My research stems from the courageous students who have allowed themselves to remember and heal.
LAND.
LINEAGE.
LANGUAGE.
Healing is not separate from where we come from or the land beneath our feet. Somatic Archaeology® weaves together ancestral memory, embodied experience, and cultural wisdom to support restoration across generations. This work invites a return to relationship—with the body, with lineage, and with the living land that holds us.
"It was excellent to really get deep into the SA practice and understand the man factors that may be in play. Thank you so much, Dr Ruby, for offering this class! I agree with David, it truly was a gift!."

"Thank you Dr Ruby for offering this class. I learned a lot, processed a lot and deepened my understanding of Chronic Pain and how to release it. I hope more members take advantage of these opportunities. They are truly a gift."
