Crafting Meaningful Land Acknowledgements, with Guest: Jessica Vandenberghe from Guiding Star Consulting

120 min. duration

Description:

As Canadians and newcomers open their ears and hearts to the Truth of the oppressive history and present of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit, we can begin to take steps towards answering the Calls to Action. One way is to create and deliver meaningful land or territorial acknowledgements, spending time in thoughtful contemplation of whose hearts and footsteps have crossed the lands we work, live, and play on and who has been stewards of Land Spirit. GEDI-Hub is honoured to host Jessica Vandenberghe from Guiding Star Consulting, for this special 2-hour workshop.

Learning Objectives:

1. This workshop will share the Truth, provide exposure to Indigenous teachings, and will focus on how to create Land / Territorial acknowledgements.
2. Time will be spent together to craft your own authentic acknowledgements, create a safe and brave place to practice and receive constructive feedback.
