Mid-Winter Celebrations: Day 3

Mid-Winter Celebrations: Day 3

 

Wabanaki Centre, second floor James Dunn Hall 

 

Join us February 3-5, to take part in the midwinter celebrations with the community. 

 

This Traditional Elders Gathering celebrates the sleep of our sacred Mother Earth, when snow covers the land as a blanket of protection and nourishment. During this time of restoration, we honour the femininity of the winter solstice and celebrate when life slows down and we enter a quiet period.

 

Ceremonies are held morning and night, and people come together to share meals and stories. It is a time to pass on cultural knowledge from our Elders to the young.

 

The celebrations will Include:

  • Lighting of the Sacred Fire
  • Talking Circles
  • Longhouse Teachings
  • Youth & Elder Workshops
  • History of Original Wabanaki Systems
