Smudging

Join Lloyd Desjarlais 

Smudging is a meaningful and sacred practice used by many Indigenous cultures to cleanse and purify people, spaces, and objects. Participants will be introduced to the cultural significance of smudging, the traditional medicines used, and the proper protocols for conducting a smudge. This session will explore how smudging can be incorporated into daily routines to promote mindfulness, well-being, and a deeper connection to Indigenous traditions. Come prepared to engage in an interactive experience that fosters respect, learning, and cultural appreciation. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of smudging and how it can be practiced in a respectful and meaningful way. 

Please note that this breakout session is scheduled to take place starting at 8:00 in The Cenovus Energy Learning Common
