Traditional Healing
Community Healing: The Role of Traditional Ceremonies
Making room for Elders, traditional healing, and cultural connection.
Care for the whole person.
Healing involves more than one part of a person’s life. Grief, responsibilities, family, culture, and the effects of intergenerational trauma can all be part of the journey. Traditional teachings and ceremony make room to reconnect with what gives life meaning.
Elders and traditional healing are central to the SixMiles approach. We want cultural connection to sit alongside practical support, housing, work, and community accountability.
Our circle work also brings people together. Through 7Sticks and the Women’s Circle, conversation and connection remain part of the everyday work of community wellbeing.
