Beadwork is Medicine
September 25 @ 6:30 pm
The traditional Indigenous practice of beadwork can be used to positively impact peoples’ mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing. Participants will learn about the holistic healing advantages of beading, from an Ininiw Iskwew (Cree Woman) perspective, practicing the craft on an individual basis as well as my experiences teaching it to groups of all ages. Beadwork is medicine is a model which was developed for my PhD work through both research of the study of the holistic benefits of beadwork and my experiential learning that can be utilized and implemented through a multitude of community organizations, school based programs and on an individual and collective level.
