Red Road


​to Healing



Red Road to Healing is a 10-week program for women who have experienced violence and are ready to move forward in their healing journey.  It is a balance of informational and healing sessions.  Traditional teachings are introduced to counteract the messages of violence and to empower women to make healthier choices for themselves and their families. 
 
Red Road to Healing was created by local Anishinaabe woman, Shannon Buck.  In her words: “By using traditional healing methods and incorporating traditional teachings we are able to restore to women pride in themselves as Indigenous women, reconnect them with their heritage and provide opportunities for personal growth, community building and the reclaiming of a woman’s sacredness and power.”
 
The program is run twice a year - in the Fall and Winter. It is a closed group and registration is required. 
​

Below is a video sharing the stories of women who have completed Red Road to Healing, as they describe how the program has impacted their healing journey.  ​
