Orange Dialogue for Ska-nonh, Peace and Wellness
Friday 2/23 – Sunday 2/25
During this weekend long retreat, participants will come together with an intention to build positive relationships and community by engaging in outdoor recreation and team building activities as well as through facilitated dialogues addressing the needs, concerns, fears and hopes of their present days lives and society. This retreat will focus on Native American / Indigenous cultures and values, with a goal to establish a mutual understanding and trust between Native and non-native students. Our aim is to move towards a more sustainable, just and peaceful world by creating space for Ska-nonh (peace and wellness) within our own lives.
