Two-Eyed Seeing is a way to make indigenous knowledge equally valid as mainstream knowledge.
In our two earlier series, which attracted an international audience, about half of whom are Indigenous or work in Indigenous communities, we explored the concept itself and how Indigenous people think about health and disease.
In this new eight-part series, we will explore how we get to wellness from the Indigenous perspective, and how Indigenous communities can find wellness through their own philosophies and approaches, independently from the mainstream that tries to tell us what to do. You will learn how indigenous conceptualizations of wellness and how to get there lead to very different approaches to reducing suffering and restoring harmony and balance.
This program is designed for practitioners who provide counseling in indigenous communities. It is also open to those providing counseling in other communities who want to see how indigenous practices could enrich their work, as well as to others who are just curious about Indigenous cultures and mental health.
