The Box & The Circle Workshop
Experiential exercise:
The Indigenous Worldview and Healing as a Process
Two-Day Professional Development Workshop
Winnipeg
October 19-20, 2023
Venue: Holiday Inn Express Winnipeg Airport 1740 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R3H 0B3
The Indigenous Worldview and Healing as a Process
Indigenous families are communally based with relationships situated at the core of community and family. This is distinctly different from the western, nuclear-based, individuals-focused family system. In this workshop roles, responsibilities, relationships, and gender of the Indigenous circle worldview will be reviewed.
The traditional ancient teachings of Indigenous cultures are providing profound healing methods and perspectives to those on their healing journey. This workshop can be applied to the healing of many topics: sexual abuse, abandonment, grief and loss, violence, fostering and adoption, couple relationships, residential school trauma, emotions especially anger and depression
The teachings and the model have been used globally by professionals seeking to create impactful workshops that address cultural sensitivity, the history of colonization, and supporting critical work to advance anti oppressive, inclusive practice.
