The Trails and Streams are a Part of Me
by Camile Prince-Shaw
During the pandemic, I came to this place every day to feel free. I have learned every trail and memorized each hill and valley. My sense of time is keen on each route and isn't monitored by my watch but by the pace of my heartbeat and the position of the sun. The sounds of silence and the sound of streams equally bring sweet sensations of chilling and chill. This is a place I feared once upon a time, but now I experience a strong sense of belonging.

Nature is a Part of Me.pptxForest Étude
by Lauren Hill
As a musician, I have chosen to center sound in this creative and contemplative journey by collecting audio samples to enhance my reflective process. I recorded the initial samples near our walking group, capturing voices, laughing, footsteps, the crunch of leaves and gravel, as well as the distant sounds of traffic. As we ventured further into the forest, I captured a second set of audio samples that prominently featured the sounds of nature, including bird calls, the wind, and rustling leaves. These audio recordings, layered with improvised keyboard and xylophone melodies, formed the basis of a sound collage inspired by the musical form musique concrète. Entitled Forest Étude, this short composition allows me to practice connection, tension, and release. It serves as an invitation to the listener to ponder the human experience within the intricate tapestry of the natural world.

by Katie Tremblay
Project of Heart is an inquiry based, hands-on, collaborative, intergenerational, artistic journey of seeking truth about the history of Indigenous people in Canada (Project of Heart). Project of Heart is an ongoing art-based project at the School of Education centered around Truth and Reconciliation. First, our teacher candidates attend the “Just Get Over It” workshop. This workshop uses drama-inspired pedagogy to teach about the Legacy of Residential schools and is inspired by the Kairos Blanket Exercise. Next, they participate in the Project of Heart workshop. This is where students can take their new learnings and mobilize them into action through arts-based creation methods. The final product is an artistic representation of their commitment to reconciliation through education.
