Our Mission
Keylela Effect Moon Lodge Society provides workshops that embody ‘Wellness Woven with Indigenous Teachings to Inspire, Nurture and Transform Lives.'
Our Vision
Resurgence of Ancient Cultural Indigenous Teachings of the Feminine that enable Women (in turn families, communities and Chisha Temi’xw - Mother Earth) to live balanced lifestyle which kept our Ancestors healthy and thriving, in this way, for a millennium.
Balanced Living
Keylela Effect hopes to inspire and empower Indigenous Women, drawing its Spirit from the rich cultural heritage and Ancestral Wisdom of Indigenous communities.
Inspire and Empowerment of Indigenous Women
Keylela Effect is a movement towards strengthening the Spiritual, cultural, and social fabric of Indigenous Women, who have historically faced layers of marginalization and disenfranchisement within our current societal reality.
Empowering Indigenous Women: A Movement to Strengthen Spiritual, Cultural, and Social Foundations
Keylela Effect will, in the near future, have a new Moon Lodge that will be out on the Land, which will be completely self-sustained by utilizing off-the-grid technology. This new state-of-the-art building design will be informed by our Matriarchal Elders and Knowledge Keepers.

Slisia (Lisa Andrew)
My Life has been shaped by many Paths, marked by childhood trauma in a family affected by alcoholism, abuse, and violence. At thirteen, I escaped to the streets of Vancouver. These experiences left traits that both helped and hindered my growth. By the Creator's Grace, I survived.
At 24, I married and had my first child, Megan Courtney Andrew, in 1993. Realizing my addictions could cause me to lose her, I entered recovery. Megan's birth felt like a second chance, leading me to self-rediscovery and renewed Spirit. Megan, my beautiful Keylela (Butterfly), symbolizes the transformative power of Love and resilience in my Life.
My research Pathways were shaped by influences from my Grandma’s kitchen table, family, holistic healing books, Indigenous Teachings, Elders, Mentors, Storytelling, Ceremony, Talking Circles, community events, workshops, formal education, and Life experiences.
The Keylela Effect Moon Lodge Society was created to provide Indigenous Women a space to reconnect with their cultural identities, heal from trauma, and embrace Traditional Teachings. Its mission is to Inspire, Nurture & Transform the lives of Women through Ceremonies that are woven with Indigenous Teachings.
