Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak’s Traditional Healer Program is hosting a “Building the Spirit Bundle” event this March, in conjunction with the Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Society.

Shyanna Lynxleg, Manager of the Program, shares its purpose.

“The Traditional Healer Program provides healing services to the 63 nations in Manitoba. We provide services such as healers or a traditional ceremonialist that will go into the community or we have people go to see the healer. We give recommendations if a person doesn’t have a healer in mind, we have some and we will refer based on the type of illness or ailment they have.”

Lynxleg said the two-day event is meant to showcase and share information about the Traditional Healer Program and Indigenous spirituality.

She added the event is free to attend and no registration is needed.

It runs from 8 am to 4:30 pm on March 26th and 27th at the Royal Canadian Legion.
