shash yázhí was raised on the Diné (Navajo) reservation near Farmington, New Mexico. Raised by her grandparents until she was thirteen, she was taught the importance of living in harmony with "Mother Earth." shash yázhí now implements traditional practices passed down to her through several generations into her work with activists and individuals wishing to create internal healing and balance in their lives. Working in indigenous communities allowed her to experience movement work that fuses spirit work with organizing work. With a passion for intergenerational and youth organizing, shash yázhí has worked as a community organizer on issues ranging from indigenous sovereignty to racial equity in schools. In the last few years she has committed herself to practicing a spiritual walk full time, serving as a guide to her sisters and brothers in the movement. Currently, she is the co-founder and director of Spirit in Motion program of the Movement Strategy Center in Oakland, CA.
