Odeiwin Connect Presents: Walking Together Series
Indiginous-led experimental workshop series.
This 17-month Indigenous-led program invites participants from all backgrounds to explore cultural awareness, allyship, and personal growth through the teachings of the Medicine Wheel and sacred Indigenous traditions. Guided by Odeiwin Knowledge Keepers the program integrates storytelling, land-based learning, creative arts, and community engagement to promote spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wellness. Participants will deepen their understanding of Indigenous protocols, ceremonies, and reciprocal relationships while fostering respect, kindness, and healing within themselves and their communities. This transformative journey concludes with opportunities to reflect, integrate teachings, and share lessons through community service and celebration.
