RECONNECTING TO OUR ROOTS

As a part of our Winter Solstice 2021 programming, please join us on zoom for this upcoming Indigenous Peoples Hairstyling & Teachings with Master Hairstylist Deandra Courntey Wells

During this virtual workshop on December 11th participants will learn how to style hair, while learning the teachings of why hair is important in indigenous cultures.

For this workshop we recommend that you ask a friend or family member to practice braiding techniques on, if you are not comfortable braiding your own hair for this workshop (mannequins also work great).

Supplies will be provided. Please note, this program is limited to 2-Spirit Community Members within the immediate GTA.

TRANS REMEMBRANCE DAY DE-GREIF TALKING CIRCLE WITH ELDER MA-NEE CHACABY

Acknowledging all those we have lost, and sharing space for one another around this time is important. In order to provide some support to our Indigenous Trans community we will be hosting a Trans Day of Remembrance Talking Circle next Wednesday November 24th, 2-4 pm with Elder Ma-Nee Chacaby. This is a space for individuals who identify as Indigenous and Trans to gather, share and have some space to ‘de-grief’ after Trans Day of Remembrance.

TRADITIONAL TEACHINGS

Indigenous teachings have been traditionally passed down through generations and have withstood the trials of time. In this modern day, we welcome you to join us online to learn Traditional Teachings from Nations across Turtle Island. To register, email culturecoordinator@2spirits.org or complete this online registration form
