In partnership with

How can movement and connecting to the land impact your spiritual, emotional, physical, and well-being and bring balance?

Indigenous Women Outdoors invites you to join us as we reshape our relationship with movement by leaning into our Indigenous ways of knowing and being. With the guidance of the medicine wheel and lived experience, participants are invited to share, learn, and reshape the reasons why they move.

These events offer a space to be present in our body and spirit through breath and movement. Lead by the four directions of the medicine wheel and guided by ancestral and universal teachings that connect healing within ourselves.
