Cultural & Land Based Teachings
Nenqayni Cultural Activities
Nenqayni Wellness Centre delivers programs to adults and youth in the nearby communities (15 bands). we hope to extend our services provincially as we have in the past. We are sensitive to the diversity of persons served in programs and all that we may come in contact with in our day to day operations.
We encourage program participants to share any knowledge of their culture and to continue to explore this rich element that truly brings us in connection with who we are. We recognize that English may not be the first language of some participants and we strive to provide a learning experience that will meet each individual’s unique needs.
Smudging
The day begins with a morning smudge with all welcome to participate in prayer, drumming and singing. Sage is most commonly burned in the smudge bowl however cedar, juniper and other sages may be used as well as sweet grass.
Hand Drum
Participants may bring or have the opportunity to make their own hand drum. Songs may be shared during the daily smudge time.
Sage Picking & Cedar
Nenqayni will bring our sage, which we gather from Farwell during its season, as well as at times from the southern regions. Our dedar is collected from out Horsefly area.
