NWAC’s virtual Resiliency Lodge programming emerged out of an immediate need during the COVID-19 pandemic. Offering this service moving forward will be critical, as Elder-led, trauma-informed programs enable Indigenous women and gender-diverse people to gather together safely and engage in Elder-led teachings and healings.

In January, NWAC offered participants the opportunity to learn new skills and express their artistic creativity through a number of workshops: Beaded Studs; Seal Skin Earrings; and Full Moon Teaching. All three workshops attracted many participants!

Given its success and positive impact across the country, we look forward to expanding our virtual programming to meet the demand. It is clear that these workshops are valued by Indigenous women across the country.

We hope to see you in our next workshop!
