Returning to Spirit

The Aboriginal Circle of Educators and Kateri Returning to Spirit have come together to present Returning to Spirit, workshops that address the effects of the residential school experience within and without the Aboriginal community.

The undertaking is groundbreaking as it ts the first time where a concerted effort is being taken to ensure both Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals can take the workshops and work through issues that will lead to a coming together in healing and friendship.
