This is a full-day learning opportunity for faculty. Join colleagues in a second (pilot Fall 2023) immersive learning opportunity to prepare for and participate in a Sweat Lodge Ceremony lead by respected Elder Qwiyahwultu-hw Robert George of Quw’utsun Mustimuhw Cowichan Nation.

The teachings will happen in an emergent way and participants will build a stronger connection to themselves, the land, and Coast Salish culture. Faculty are strongly advised to have some prior learning, for example, taken TELŦIN TŦE WILNEW (TTW), the KAIROS Blanket Exercise, or participated in other cultural learning opportunities.

Participants will be required to travel to Cowichan area and will be able to submit to CCFA for pre-approved travel reimbursement. Arrival at 9:30-10am and departure at approximately 3:00pm. As well as one Q&A zoom session with Elder Robert to prepare.
