Description:  Teaching online may be unfamiliar and just the thought of getting started may seem overwhelming. In this webinar we will share strategies and considerations for making online teaching (and learning) more effective and less stressful.

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).

If you are interested in participating, please email Matthew Sweezey at matthew.sweezey@nbed.nb.ca

This session is about mindfulness, what it is and how it can help with our everyday struggles. We can learn to become less attached to our thoughts and stories by paying attention to the present moment. In order to remember to have more mindful moments in our days we practice mindfulness meditation. We step our of our incessant train of thoughts and pay attention to our bodies, our breath, sounds, emotions and thoughts. We learn to relax and " smell the roses" again. He will guide 2 - 3 meditations during the presentation.

The Wellness Session will be held on May 21st from 3:30 to 4:30.

I will ask what  the people online with us today, might need to hear, and what I might need to be reminded of at this time. Then spirit will help me to speak the words....”
