BIO Helene Lindmark

As a foundational supporter of the Wisdom Dialogue movement, Helene Lindmark is a distinguished Wisdom Keeper, a GrandMother from the Sami People. She walks with her knowledge as a voice for Mother Earth, her people and the ancestral wisdom that is stored in her Indigenous People’s lands. She is mentoring the next generation of Sápmi community members, convening and speaking on behalf of her people around the world. With a unique perspective based on ancestral knowledge, she wants to bridge the gap between traditional indigenous knowledge and the contemporary understanding of sustainable practices. Her role as a global bridge builder for a sustainable future highlights the significance of reciprocity with nature, and promotes innovative solutions for climate adaptation and social resilience.

Helene’s journey began in Liikavaara, south of Gällivare in the northern part of Sápmi, a village that was erased due to mining exploitation. As a child she had a rich inner world and she received many visions, sensations, and messages. She grew up with a close friendship with nature, surrounded by wisdom from the Elders. Her origin in wisdom and spiritual shamanic healing come from both her mother and father. She has a background in the social sector with extensive experience in psychiatric trauma care with investigation and treatment.
