Some of our artwork made it into the new YWCA Healing Through Art coloring book!

It is available for download for free from the YWCA website.

Coloring has many positive impacts on mental health including providing stress relief, a sense of calm, and a mindful focus. It can help reduce anxiety and depression, and may even serve as a form of emotional processing🤸‍♀️

Another awesome article highlighting the recent on the land programming that Wildflower was privileged to be a part of. While we intuitively know that being in nature is beneficial to our mental health, last week's program helped people to connect with their community, culture, learn skills to sustain themselves in the future, and exercise mindfulness (it's really hard not to be in the present moment when you have a sucker fish flopping in your hands!).

Reeling in tradition and healing 🎣
Check out this segment on APTN news on the event that we participated in last week. It was such a treat to combine our passion for outdoors, with practical on the land learning. We are grateful to Springboard Strategies for bringing us onboard!
