“How might we have conversations, even online, that create space for us to better care for ourselves and for one another? Self-care is a constant journey to tether ourselves to what can heal us… [O]ur wholeness is connected to our belonging.”

—Kaitlin B. Curtice, Native – Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God

Come to this session with a short summary about the people indigenous to the land on which you now live. (Use the Native Land Digital resource, https://native-land.ca, for your research by entering your zip code into the search bar.) We will work with the mandala in this session as a way to honor future generations. There will be an hour of independent creative time while listening to an hour-long audio recording by Kaitlin B. Curtice, author of Native. At 11:30am we will regather for conversation and continue our creative time together.
This workshop is designed as a stand-alone workshop.  Participation in Tuesday’s “Mandala as Metaphor: Remembering Ancestors” is not required.

If you would like to join the Guild community for our morning matins gathering, you may join the Zoom meeting at 9am.
