Storytelling Making & Song
Twice a year we gather to build bridges through the arts, using creative practices to generate dialogue between Indigenous and settler folks. Facilitated by local and regional Indigenous creators and practitioners, we centre their voices as a way to amplify the Truth and honour the stewards of our territories.
Embodied Learning
Engagement through body and arts-based practices grounds our learning in radical ways, so we weave somatic experiences and arts together. The modality of ‘Listening Circles’ is also brought in to consolidate our learning, while building a statement of action on what it is to be a responsible settler on Indigenous territories.

Right Relationship
Reconciliation is the deep work of listening, learning the truth, and then acting to make and take actions that build right relationship with Indigenous People, the earth, and each other. Our commitment is to create safe and respectful cultural spaces where growth and healing are possible.
