Everyday Intentions is an invitation to live deliberately — to weave Indigenous wisdom into the ordinary moments that make up a life. Drawing on Secwépemc teachings, land-based practice, and years of ceremonial and scholarly work, Dr. Cheryl Matthew offers a grounded path toward healing, integration, and intentional living.
This is not a book of quick fixes. It is a companion for the slow, honest work of coming home to yourself: reconnecting with land and lineage, tending old wounds with care, and setting intentions that carry you gently through each day. Warm and accessible, it meets you where you are and walks beside you.
Written for anyone seeking a calmer, more rooted way of being — readers new to Indigenous teachings and longtime seekers alike — Everyday Intentions reminds us that healing is not a destination, but a practice we return to, one everyday intention at a time.
Behind the book
More than a book, Everyday Intentions is growing into a set of tools for daily practice — the manuscript, a guided workbook, and an intention journal, each in its own stage of becoming.
In progress
The heart of the book is being shaped chapter by chapter — refining the teachings, deepening the stories, and making sure every page carries ancestral wisdom in a warm, accessible voice. Each pass brings the manuscript closer to a companion you can trust.
In design
A guided workbook is being designed to walk beside the reading — prompts, practices, and reflective exercises that turn wisdom into everyday habit. Space to slow down, notice, and integrate what each chapter opens up.
In design
A companion journal to hold your daily practice — room for setting intentions, tracking the rhythms of your healing, and returning to yourself one page at a time. Designed to be lived in, not just read.
