What Sets Our Retreats Apart

A PORTION OF EVERY REGISTRATION SUPPORTS THE AIRS SURVIVORS REUNION

The Alberni Indian Residential School Survivors are holding a grassroots reunion. Being in this room is one way to stand with them. A direct donation from this workshop to their reunion fund is another. Both matter.

01 / Premium Lodging

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

THE INVITATION

You have sat through the land acknowledgements. You have watched the PowerPoints. You have checked the boxes for compliance.

And something still feels unfinished.

Friends and Allies is not a training. It is a threshold. A single day designed to move you from knowing about reconciliation to living it, in your policies, your procurement, your relationships, and your nervous system.

We will do this together in a circle at Tigh-Na-Mara Resort, on the unceded territory of the Qualicum and Snaw-naw-as Nations, with a Survivor in the room, ceremony on the shore, and tools you will actually use on Monday morning.

25 seats. That is it.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Cultural Immersion - Water ceremony and smudge at the ocean to ground the day

•       The Survivor's Voice: a direct conversation with Elder and AIRS Survivor

•       A deep-dive into DRIPA, UNDRIP, and TRC through lived story, wise practises and case studies, not slide decks

•       Cedar brushing ceremony and nervous system regulation for the weight of this work

•       Hands-on RFD (Request for Decision) templates you will bring back to HR, procurement, and operations

•       A personal Land Acknowledgement Lab: moving from script to relationship

•       A Leader’s Bundle – resources to support ongoing reconciliation
