British Columbia is the sacred territory of a diversity of over 300 Indigenous communities emanating from rich, cultural heritages and lifeways that have evolved slowly over time, in synchrony with nature. Culture has traditionally scripted the pathway to emotional health and well-being for families and communities, providing time for relationship and emotional expression through cultural affirmation. Ritual and remedy were woven together into a fabric of everyday life. Gathering Our Medicine synthesizes the science of play and healing with the power of cultural rituals, rites of passage and ceremony both large and small, simple and complex. Denise has a unique vantage point as a member of the Squamish Nation, a native participant in ancient healing rituals, and a recognized western-based healer among her people with a university education in critical thinking. It is from this place that Denise will apply Neufeld’s attachment theory and fresh understandings of emotion to unlock the secrets of some of the more common healing rituals that have been depended upon for millennia.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Play therapists, children’s counsellors, family therapists, family counsellors, psychologists, social workers, school counsellors, and other mental health professionals working with children, adolescents and families will benefit from this training. A basic understanding of play therapy would be beneficial.
