Kairos Blanket Exercise: Building Bridges Toward Reconciliation (1.5 hrs)
Friday May 30, 2025 10:30am - 12:00pm PDT
Join us for an engaging and transformative experience that deepens understanding and fosters connection. The Blanket Exercise is an interactive workshop that brings to life the history and ongoing impacts of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. Through hands-on participation, you'll gain insight into nation-to-nation relationships and explore meaningful steps toward reconciliation.
Following the exercise, engage in a reflective sharing circle to discuss how we can support young people in overcoming trauma and systemic barriers. Transform your practice to empower resilience and foster success by deepening your knowledge and understanding. This session offers a unique opportunity to build bridges of respect, understanding, and hope.
