In this time of crisis, we are reminded that we are never alone. Our traditional teachings inform us of our interconnectedness with our natural and social environment. As partners within creation, it is our duty to take care of our shared sacred elements: Fire (our passion), Air (ancestral breath), Water (our shared tears) and Earth ( our shared mother).
This session will focus on maintaining holistic wellness of mind, body, heart and spirit from a Wabanaki perspective. This framework provides an approach to traditional healing leading to personal stamina, inner strength and peace of mind.
Participants will require a wooden bowl, fresh cedar fronds (if possible) and a candle (sacred fire).
