Community Healing Gathering.

Join us this Sunday, September 14th, 2025, at the Cultural Grounds for a Community Healing Gathering.

Our community has faced many storms and sorrows, but we've always come together. Let’s continue that tradition as we gather for a day of healing.

The day will include a sunrise ceremony, a community smudge, dancing, and feasting. Please have a look at the poster for the complete schedule.

Whether you join us in person or participate from home by lighting up your medicines and offering a prayer at 11:00am for the Unity Smudge, your spirit is a vital part of our collective healing.

All are welcome!
