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, the pursuit of Indigenous wellness strives to foster empowerment, cultural continuity, 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 heritage and access traditional healing methods. Our offerings include smudging, brush offs, healing baths, and Coast Salish winter ceremonies. We also provide language classes in various dialogues, opportunities to participate in sweat lodge ceremonies, and workshops on cultural crafts. Additionally, we offer bi-weekly culture support and wound care services on the Pandora Block, ensuring that individuals receive comprehensive care that aligns with their cultural needs. Our goal is to empower individuals and communities, fostering a sense of belonging, and facilitating their journey towards holistic well-being.
