MAKWAG WORKSHOP

The workshop series contributes to participants further strengthening their understandings of how stress related to Covid-19 effects their daily living, while also working to explore potential pathways for coping and building resilience.

This important, and intimate work is guided by trauma-informed practices within an Indigenous cultural context. Participants can expect to participate in group discussions, experiential learning, storying, yoga, and meditation.

The sessions will take place from January, 28, 2022 to March 6, 2022 every weekend via Zoom. Friday's session will take place from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and Saturday and Sundays sessions will take place from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
