Beadwork is Medicine: Strengthening our Communities with Tammy Wolfe
Description
Beadwork can positively impact Indigenous peoples’ mental, emotional, physical and spiritual healing from the impacts of intergenerational traumas, due to negative systemic impacts. Beadwork can be utilized and practiced to find healing on both an individual and communal level because it helps to strengthen Indigenous peoples’ identities through the use of storytelling, mastery, learned leadership and finding a strong sense of belonging, which ultimately adds to the collective health of the community. Participants will learn about the holistic healing advantages of beading, from my own experiential healing journey as an Ininiw Iskwew (Cree Woman) practicing the craft, as well as my experiences teaching it to groups of all ages, which developed my model and research study of the holistic healing benefits of beadwork.
We would like to reiterate that everyone is welcome to our UBCLC sessions.
