About

We are inviting you to meet us in Circle to connect and engage in anti-Indigenous racism work that will help you understand and bring to action compassionate ways of knowing and responsibility. Our 5 hours together will be interactive, experiential and self-reflective. Together we will take a heart-centered journey through colonial history and explore the continuing impacts of racism in our communities and our Indigenous bodies. You will experience Indigenous teachings that will support you to connect your mind with your heart to enliven change in your personal life and within your professional communities.
