Real transformation in reconciliation and anti-racism work requires intentional, sustained engagement that allows teams to build understanding over time. Working with specialized colleagues, I design multi-year learning pathways that bridge Indigenous knowledge systems with contemporary workplace challenges.
These journeys are tailored to your organization’s specific context, offering multiple entry points that welcome staff participation across different schedules and learning styles. Rather than one-time sessions, these pathways build foundation for lasting cultural change while addressing today’s challenges.
The following workshops show how this interconnected work builds understanding through sustained, relationship-based learning.
