Healing Spaces

In our cultural spaces, there is no hierarchy—such systems were imposed on us by colonialism, creating neglected roles and causing ongoing harm and displacement. Many Nations have preserved their knowledge of these roles, which remain vital to maintaining traditional spaces. Our ancestors understood that people's differences are gifts, meant to be respected and shared for the good of the community. By honoring these practices today, we can foster healing and collective leadership naturally. Embracing these traditions in modern times provides us with meaningful paths rooted in self-reliance and deep connections to the world around us. These are the spaces we create to support the Anishinaabe ("The People") in fulfilling their roles within the community.

Traditional Healing

Our traditional practices offer a holistic approach, addressing not only physical conditions but also emotional, mental, and spiritual concerns. By reconnecting individuals to their whole being, we help heal the entire person. We provide both individual and family appointments to meet these needs. Please check our event page for monthly gatherings open to all. We welcome your questions and invite you to schedule a visit. 

Traditional Birthing

Whether you are welcoming your first child or your seventh, our team is here to support your family throughout the journey. No matter the outcome or circumstances, Aabizhiishin ("Those that come to carry something forward") offers tailored services for relatives seeking assistance. From birth to death, we are committed to serving our community. Our list of services is provided below. Please visit our event page for information on upcoming opportunities!
