“Connecting Spiritually with the Land and Each Other” (sponsored by Reconciling Ways of Knowing) will discuss our fundamental connection to and inseparability from the world and each other and how this understanding carries a spiritual dimension for Indigenous Peoples, to which we remain connected through our ceremonies. This is a foundational understanding present in many Indigenous ways of knowing but often missing from the dominant worldview that has shaped Canadian environmental policy.

After an initial discussion between Dr. Dave Courchene, Grandmother Katherine Whitecloud, Dr. Blair Stonechild and Moderator Shaunna Morgan Siegers, the other Reconciling Ways of Knowing convenors, Miles Richardson, OC; Dr. David Suzuki; and Dr. Nancy Turner will share their thoughts and insights on this discussion of relation and spiritual connection. Moderator Shaunna Morgan Siegers will then turn to the audience-participants for thoughts and questions for the speakers.

The intention of the hosts is to hold space for this discussion to take shape as guided by spiritual direction, to begin the new calendar year off in a good way, as they continue with their Reconciling Ways of Knowing: Indigenous Knowledge and Science Online Forum Series into 2021. This is a ticketed event to cover the costs of organizing and hosting. Tickets are available for $10 per person, or for anyone able to contribute at a higher level to support our organizing efforts, they are also offering a $25 and $50 registration option.
