If so, we invite you to participate in the Indigenous Healing Knowledges Research project by reflecting on the impacts these engagements have had in your life. 

We especially hope to uplift the voices of Indigenous youth ages 18-26 through this project, so your stories can be heard and we can better support ongoing initiatives.

More about this research project:

The overall objective of the Indigenous Healing Knowledges project is to experience, document, and share, and enhance the understanding of Indigenous worldviews and lived experiences of cultural knowledge, decolonial thrivance, personal and collective healing and holistic well-being. Indigenous Healing Knowledges events and gatherings foster cross-cultural understanding, intergenerational exchange, and holistic approaches to well-being. 

More about participating:

If you are interested, we welcome you to submit a written or artistic reflection of your experience following the event. This can take the form of a:

• Poem
• journal entry
• spoken word piece
• Zine
• Drawing
• Beadwork
• other creative medium

Should you choose to share artwork, it will be displayed publicly in an art show during the year 2026-2027. Should you choose to share a written piece, you will have the option to have your work published in the Genealogy journal. You may choose to share your artwork and/or writing anonymously if you prefer. 

You may wish to reflect on themes such as: 

• How have these gatherings and healing circles supported your wellbeing?
• What themes and learnings have been most valuable to you in your life and healing journey?
• How have these experiences resonated with your own cultural understandings?
