Sxexet Spath

David Peters | Stó:lō Medicine Maker

A culture bearer, healer, and land steward. His work is a living, breathing expression of Stó:lō identity, commitment to ancestral wisdom, and dedication to community wellness.

The Healer's Journey

Rooted in the rich cultural soil of the Lower Mainland, BC, Sxexet Spath (David Peters) is a dedicated medicine maker and healer whose work is a vibrant testament to the enduring legacy of the Stó:lō peoples and their intimate relationship with the land.

As a "Stó:lō Taught" practitioner, his knowledge did not come from formal institutions, but from a deeper, more intimate source: his community, his Elders, the teachings passed down through generations, and countless hours spent directly with the plants and the living pharmacy of the territory.

This path of learning has instilled in him an authentic voice and a profound connection to the plants, the land, and the narratives that define his healing practice. Today, he shares this knowledge generously through medicines, education, and cultural stewardship.

The Healer's Calling

For the Stó:lō people, the land is more than a resource; it is a living relative, a provider, and a teacher. Sxexet Spath learned to listen to the plants, to understand their properties, and to feel the healing waiting within each remedy. His work honors the sustainable harvesting protocols that ensure these plant relatives continue to thrive for seven generations to come.

His journey as a healer and educator has been one of discipline, respect, and relentless dedication. He has developed expertise across multiple domains—from medicine making to ethnobotany to cultural storytelling—demonstrating a comprehensive mastery of traditional knowledge and a deep commitment to sharing this wisdom with both his community and a wider audience seeking connection to ancestral healing practices.
