IMPACT

I am more proud of who I am now than I ever was, thanks to you people. Much love and respect.

I’m learning how to be confident with myself and keeping my creativity alive. Letting go of the grief and the past and seeing myself in a more positive light.

The sweats were powerful, I got to learn more about myself.

I loved everything. The sweat lodge, sharing circles, ceremonies, elders, making our shirt, drum, drum stick, rattle and everything else we created. I also loved the drumming and singing, the people we met every week, getting my colours and spirit name, smudge.

I learned how to cook, how to manage patience/understanding with surroundings and co-residents, more about myself—anger, grief and guilt. I really outlined what was important to me and I do believe I have grown in so many ways to keep feeding my spirit within and to keep on.

The cultural teachings, the love, kindness and patience from all the staff. The teachings and endless support. Thank you kindly for not giving up on me it was beautiful, I would recommend it.

I have learned many things for which I am so very grateful. This healing centre/lodge has opened my eyes to see, feel and embrace where my root causes are and where my patterns, behaviours and how my thoughts affected me. All the teachings have given me life, my identity and a sense of purpose. I feel honoured and humbled to be here and receive this invaluable part of me, of who I am and I am thankful. Miigwech.
