Land-Based Treatment and Healing can take place when we return or reconnect to the land by relearning, revitalizing and reclaiming our traditional wellness practices. The land is foundational to our Indigenous identity, but over generations of colonization we have been disconnected and dispossessed from our traditional territories.
​
Our Land Based Detox and Healing program is offered in partnership with Niwakomakanak Organization
Land-Based Detox and Healing
Providing wholistic health and wellness services is described as:
Focusing on individual wellbeing in the areas of: physical, mental, spiritual, emotional health.
Land-based wellness is founded on the principle of providing culturally-based health services to help guide individuals to whole wellness.
