Wellness

What Wellness is to Us.

Indigenous Wellness recognizes that well-being extends beyond physical health and encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects as well. Indigenous wellness acknowledges the interconnectedness between individuals, communities, and the natural world, emphasizing the importance of harmony, balance, and reciprocity. It involves embracing cultural practices, ceremonies, and teachings that promote healing, resilience, and the revitalization of Indigenous knowledge and identity. Moreover, Indigenous wellness recognizes the significance of self-determination, cultural autonomy, and the reclaiming of traditional healing practices to address the unique challenges and disparities faced by Indigenous communities. By centering Indigenous ways of knowing and being in the harm reduction work we provide, the pursuit of Indigenous wellness strives to foster empowerment, cultural connections, and a sense of belonging for individuals and communities alike.

Our services are dedicated to promoting Indigenous wellness by offering a range of culturally sensitive support and healing practices without judgment. We understand the importance of providing a safe and inclusive space where individuals can connect with their culture and access traditional healing methods. Our offerings include smudging, brush offs, and baths to name a few. We also provide opportunities to participate in drumming and connection to elders along with offering workshops creating cultural crafts. Additionally, we offer weekly culture support and wound care services on the 900 Block of Pandora, ensuring that individuals receive comprehensive care that aligns with their cultural needs. Our goal is to empower individuals and communities and to foster a sense of belonging and reconnection.
