Are you looking to decolonize your helping practice and learn wholistic approaches to healing?

Join us for this unique opportunity, where you’ll learn how to weave Indigenous and Western approaches into your helping practice and apply a decolonized lens to your role.

Through circle methodology, you will engage in critical reflection, experiential learning, and storytelling to deepen your understanding of wholistic approaches to healing. You will gain practical skills for solidarity and allyship, with a focus on co-creating culturally welcoming spaces.

Challenge yourself to examine the presence of colonization in your own practice and deepen your understanding of the ongoing impacts of colonization on the well-being of Indigenous peoples.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • Identify the impacts of colonialism in healing concepts
  • Describe Indigenous approaches to helping, healing, and wholistic wellness
  • Implement culturally safe and relevant ways to engage in healing
  • Apply both Western and Indigenous approaches to support in your practice

Method of Delivery

Presentation, experiential practice, personal reflection, small group discussions, and circle methodology.

*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials.

Note: An e-manual for this workshop is included in purchase.
