On April 25, 2026, we held our Helping Us Understand Grief (HUUG) workshop at The School of Indigenous Learning. With Jeordi leading the workshop, we learned about the history of Indigenous people, traditional teachings with a land-based perspective, and we closed out our workshop with the sharing circle. We had a fabulous lunch; weather was great - all in all it was a good day for all participants. Thank you so much to Kindred Foundation for supporting this wonderful event.
