Description

This course, organized in collaboration with local healers, involves participating in local Indigenous ceremonies and learning about Indigenous healing models and worldviews. Combined with an academic approach, it provides an opportunity to engage in experiential learning from an Indigenous perspective; which engages the four aspects of the self (mind, body, spirit, emotions) in the learning process. The course is offered in the spring/summer session when major ceremonies are held and involves some overnight camping. Students use their experiential learning as a framework to engage written sources related to the ceremonies and teachings. There are higher expectations for 4000 and graduate levels.
