Indigenous Spirituality Retreat- Event # 16331

Indigenous Spirituality Retreat

Candida Shepherd

June is National Indigenous History Month and June 21 is National First Peoples Day in Canada.  For generations many Indigenous communities celebrate their culture and heritage at this time because of the significance of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.  It is a time to recognize the great contributions the Indigenous, Metis, and Intuit people have made to Canada, and also look forward to the promises of the future.

On June 22, 2025, Candida Shepherd will be leading a retreat celebrating Indigenous Spirituality at Providence Renewal Centre.  With the use of the Medicine Wheel as focal point, Candida will journey with us into seasons, times of life, sacredness, and draw connections with the Catholic Church.

Sunday June 22, 2025 (10:30am-3:30pm)

Registration: $100        Event # 16331

As a proud member of the Otipemisiwak Métis Nation of Alberta, I am honoured to share my culture and continue my journey as a lifelong knowledge-seeker. I live in Sherwood Park with my husband, our son and daughter, two large dogs, and two easygoing cats. I look forward to spending this day with you.
