Description
FREE one hour workshop!
Join Dr. Lyons for a powerful and inspiring one-hour online presentation that offers a preview of the upcoming four-day workshop, Healing through Tradition: Reclaiming Culture, Identity, and Spirituality. Rooted in Indigenous knowledge and healing practices, this session invites participants to begin a journey of cultural reconnection, spiritual reflection, and community empowerment.
In this introductory talk, Dr. Lyons will explore the foundational themes of the full workshop, including the lasting impacts of intergenerational trauma, the role of Indigenous spirituality in healing, and the importance of reclaiming identity and tradition as paths to resilience. Through engaging stories and culturally grounded insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how trauma intersects with culture and how traditional practices can support holistic well-being.
This session also highlights how the full workshop will provide tools for integrating Indigenous healing into mental health and educational settings, empowering participants to become agents of change within their communities. Whether you are a health professional, educator, community leader, or someone on a personal healing journey, this presentation offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine healing through an Indigenous lens.
Come and experience the wisdom, strength, and vision behind Healing through Tradition—and discover how you, too, can walk the path of cultural revitalization and spiritual renewal.
Intended for:
- Community members seeking healing through cultural and spiritual reconnection
- Health and wellness professionals looking to incorporate Indigenous practices
- Educators and leaders working with Indigenous youth
- Anyone interested in understanding trauma and resilience from an Indigenous perspective
