| Activities and retreats
can be customized for one or more days, for groups up to 20 participants (maximum).
Activities can include:
Arts & Crafts: basket weaving,
wooden flower making, leatherwork, rock painting, etc.
Walking Trails: medicinal and
healing uses of plants and trees, bird watching, environmental discussions,
sustainable forestry, etc.
Chief Meuse will talk about the
traditional Mi'kmaq relationship to birds, animals, plants and trees.
He will focus on our lives in a wholistic way and bring awareness
to the Balance that we need to practice.
Campfires: smudging ceremonies,
sharing circles, storytelling, traditional music, etc. The practice
of these ceremonies is very old and important to people of the First
Nations. The smudging ceremony is used to push away negative energy
and to allow only good energy or Spirits into our circles.
Sharing Circles are safe places
for us to come together and share our Thoughts, Stories, and Prayers.
Traditional wisdom, not just of
our elders but from our own lives, is nowhere as well transmitted
as through Storytelling. Retreats and Sharing Circles offer a wonderful
way of passing information down from one generation to another.
