Traditional Indigenous Parenting Worksho9p:

Our Traditional First Nations Parenting Workshop is designed to empower parents by blending connection-focused parenting, culturally-relevant approaches that are deeply rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and worldview. Together, we can reconnect to what we thought was lost, recognize the wounds we inherited and lay foundations for self-empowerment while responding to our children’s needs for attachment, security and love with confidence and resilience by drawing from the wisdom of our Elders. This program focuses on holistic parenting, offering guidance on nurturing the whole child—emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually—while also emphasizing effective stress management and self-care for the parents/caregivers.

Through this two day program, parents will also gain valuable tools and insights on child development, attachment, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, all from a trauma-informed perspective. We aim to support you in cultivating a balanced and connected family life, where both you and your children can thrive. By embracing our traditions and teachings, we can work together to create a nurturing, supportive environment for raising the next generation.
