Pass the Sage: Roots & Reflections is a guided journal inspired by Indigenous teachings, storytelling, and healing. Created by Algonquin author and Pow Wow Pitch Canada finalist Tessa Belanger, this book invites readers to reconnect with their identity, values, and emotional well-being through writing prompts, reflection pages, and grounding exercises to reconnect and embrace our cultural identity. 

Designed as a companion to the Pass the Sage anthology, this journal blends cultural awareness with self-reflection — helping readers explore their roots, reflect on personal growth, and nurture balance in everyday life. Through guided exercises based on gratitude, connection, and the Seven Grandfather Teachings, Roots & Reflections becomes more than a journal — it’s a gentle journey of healing, creativity, and self-discovery.
