Chief Leonard Anthony is a descendant from the Diiwhozbito community, born and raised in Flagstaff Arizona in the mid-1950s, relocating to the small community of Greasewood Springs Arizona in the early 1960s. At an early age Chief Leonard was taught to speak the Navajo language from his parents and his maternal and paternal grandparents, to him this connection of the culture and language foundational principles was planted.

By listening to the Dine language, he learned to understand and speak the language in the most profound way and this became one of his survival tools. As he also had to learn the American English language to survive in western society, Chief Leonard speaks both languages fluently, and is called on as a consultant for traditional philosophers, scholars, knowledgeable cultural educators and practitioners. Chief Leonard is also a land keeper, respected rancher and sheep herder after being taught early in his childhood many important values on survival skills to become independent. He believes that the connection we can all develop with Father Sky and Mother Earth is important and necessary to learn about for one’s own character development.

A traditional Sundancer for more than 35 years, Chief Leonard has vast experience working with Grandfather Fire and the Water of Life to bring about deep transformational healing, especially within his traditional Inipi (sweatlodge) ceremonies.

Traditionally trained by his father to be of service across communities, Chief Leonard has witnessed many transformational healing journeys as individuals choose to step forward on their healing path. With deep gratitude, we are delighted Chief Leonard will be opening spaces for a limited number of one-to-one healing sessions for those who wish to deepen their healing journey.  

(Please let us know if you would like a one-to-one session when you make your booking, as we can only provide this rare opportunity for a limited number of people, thank you).
