EP.5: Sharing Gifts with the People - Reflections on Cultural Healing
Sep 24, 2023
Hosted by Doris Peltier - Community Engagement Coordinator

In Episode 5, Doris invites Feast Centre Elders Wayne Seward (Snuneymuxw) and Catherine Martin (Mi'kmaw) to the table to talk about cultural healing and how each brings their gifts to the people. From speaking about the importance of cedar brushing, to acknowledging the four medicines, to acknowledging 'laughter' as the fifth medicine in our healing, these two Elders use the power of storytelling, mixed with a little bit of humor here and there, to speak about what they bring to community. You will not want to miss this episode! As we always do, this podcast will also feature a song from each Elder, songs that they were given permission to share with the people.
