Greetings,

We are honoured to share our upcoming Spring offerings with you all.

Thanks to the support of the Sixties Scoop Foundation, all Sixties Scoop survivors, their families (and those considered family), and descendants are invited to register at no-fee.

We’re offering two land-centered gatherings, with the option to stay on the land between them—allowing for a full ten days of connection, rest, and renewal.

Join us around the fire, in the water, through song, ceremony, and creative expression. Together, we’ll immerse ourselves in the land where we will be working with natural art materials, respectfully harvested from Earth Mother. Come and enjoy Healing Art Experiences designed to nourish the heart, body, and spirit.

As always we hope to see you there.
