Workshop Intro:

1 to 3 p.m.

Despite the fact that we all have more in common with one another than differences, conflict is inevitable. Given the continued colonial conflict between Canada and Indigenous Peoples, the relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can be equally strained. In this workshop we will acknowledge the conflict and develop the tools required to build a relationship based on respect, honesty, and humility. This workshop is open to all and will be focused on the skills of trust-building, active listening, and respectful communication.
