Indigenous Medicines and Seasonal Wellness Workshop

Spaces are limited. Please only register if you are available to attend.

As the seasons change, winter invites us to slow down, rest, and restore our energy. Join Student Life, in collaboration with The Eighth Fire, for an interactive workshop with Medicine Knowledge Keeper Tanya Gluvakov exploring Indigenous knowledge on seasonal wellness and rest. Participants will learn about traditional medicines and teachings related to the seasons, while reflecting on ways to rest, recharge, and care for their wellbeing. The workshop will also include a hands-on opportunity to create your own cedar salve to take home.
