Traditional Healing - Pathways to Knowledge, Pathways to Health Workshop

Of the few sessions I was able to attend at the conference, I think the one on Traditional Healing with Bes’ha Blondin from Deline, Northwest Territories, Josie Augustine from Elsipogtog, New Brunswick and Ida Calmegane from Yukon Territory was definitely the most memorable.

I feel very privileged to have been able to listen to these speakers talk about Traditional Healing and its potential to work with Western medical practices.

It is always a very moving and sometimes emotional experience to listen to Elders share stories about their experience and knowledge. This session enlightened me to some new ideas about healing and the importance of health in both body and mind.
