One in Spirit Writing Workshop

Join Elder Randy Fred of the Tseshaht First Nation for a creative writing workshop and spirit walk in Vanier Park ( sen̓áḵw / sən̓aʔqʷ ). This is more than just writing. It is a chance to reflect, listen, and share stories to help with understanding reconciliation.

The day includes guided writing exercises to explore your connection to the land and its history. After that, we will take a spirit walk through the park to quietly connect with the land and its stories. The workshop ends with a shared meal and time to share and listen to personal stories.

The workshop is open to everyone, including writers, educators, and anyone interested in Truth and Reconciliation. Whether you are new to writing or have experience, this workshop will help you explore these important themes.
