An Online Workshop with Gilchrist Coaching and Adventures

Do you feel stuck in figuring out next steps on the (re)conciliation journey between the church and Indigenous neighbours? Afraid of taking a wrong step have you frozen? What does it mean to be a responder rather than an initiator on the journey toward right relationship?

Kairos Blanket Exercise

During this workshop, participants step on blankets representing the land and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. They are guided by trained facilitators who work from a script that covers pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization, resistance and much more. Participants read scrolls and respond to cues in the script. The KBE concludes with a debriefing, conducted as a talking circle, during which participants discuss the learning experience, process their feelings, ask questions, share insights, and deepen their understanding.
