[Sust-mar] Upcoming program - Medicine Wheel Teachings, October 4-6

[Meghan MacCulloch]

Medicine Wheel Teachings 

October 4-6, Fri 7 pm to Sun 3:30 pm

All those interested in Indigenous culture, will have the opportunity to
learn about the values, spiritual, and holistic approach of First Nations.
This will be done through shared teachings, small group discussions and
Ceremonies.

You will learn about the Native world view through the 'Four Direction
Medicine Wheel Teachings' encompassing the Mental, Spiritual, Emotional and
Mental aspects of health in a holistic approach; as well as incorporating
the use of the Seven Grandfather Teachings (Anishnabe/ Ojibway Teachings).
We will also explore the societal trauma caused by the residential schools
system and the impact in communities today. This will be woven together to
look at an effective method of healing that draws on the strength and gifts
of First Nations teachings. 

This workshop is for people from all cultural and ethnic traditions. If you
are a First Nations person, you may be applying mostly "western methods"
that do not always resonate with your clients and may wish to learn about
how to approach your work grounded in First Nations culture. For people of
all other ancestries, increasing your awareness of an Indigenous worldview
may support you to relate more skillfully in intercultural settings.
