We will be rescheduling in the near future, so check the calendar for updates! Fear or anxiety can be carried in our cells through the impacts of colonization, historical trauma, and ongoing systemic, interpersonal, lateral violence of the everyday. Instead of rejecting or judging fear, what if we honoured fear? What would be known if we view fear a respected teacher? How could we be curious about fear-based insecurities like thinking we are too messed up to be loved. This workshop invites us to re-member our inherent wholeness and reclaim a deep sense of belonging, a right to heal and shine bright. This workshop is for Two-Spirit youth ages 15-30. Allies that are coming to support a Two-spirit friend are also welcome. For more info about our Two-Spirit programming, visit our program page here.
