Conference to inspire and empower Indigenous youth held in Regina

WATCH: The White Raven Healing Centre is hosting a conference for Indigenous youth with hopes to inspire. Mick Favel reports. A two-day conference hosted by the White Raven Healing Centre (WRHC) is underway, aimed at inspiring and empowering Indigenous youth from the File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Council's 11 First Nation communities. The WRHC serves 11 First Nations with a holistic approach focused on culture, recovery, and prevention. The services offered include outpatient counselling, addictions and cultural support, and community outreach. The 'Your Power Within' conference centered around the theme of culture as medicine - offering youth a supportive space to explore their identities, culture and a place to share their stories. 'We wanted to offer a space for them to gather, be empowered, and recognize that they have a voice. Their voice matters, and they carry the medicines of our future.' said Dianne Campeau (Ji'Gaabiikwe), the director from the White Raven Healing Centre. The conference was aimed at addressing the challenges that many Indigenous communities and people face, including intergenerational trauma and the struggles of mental health and addictions. 'Some of them don't even realize that they're carrying traumas that aren't even theirs. They witness coping mechanisms like alcohol and drug use, and the mental health struggles that come with that. So, we want to reclaim and bring back how beautiful our culture is,' Campeau explained. Cultural activities like pipe ceremonies, traditional songs, and storytelling form the heart of the event, alongside workshops led by speakers with lived experience in healing, media, sport, and recovery. One of the voices at the conference is Treaty 4 Powwow Princess Layla Okeeweehow, who performed a song on behalf of her aunt. 'I started singing when I was three years old. My late mushum taught me my first song, and from there my journey of culture began. Being a young person that walks the ceremonial life is a really good experience,' Okeeweehow explained. Mitchell So'Oyewaste, the youth program coordinator with the WRHC, emphasized the importance of creating a space for honest conversations surrounding trauma. 'Youth are dealing with big issues - mental health, grief, anxiety, identity … and it's one thing for an older adult to say, 'You can do it - but when they see someone who looks like them, who's walked a hard road and made it, it clicks,' said So'Oyewaste. White Raven's goal is to offer inspiration through relatable role models like Indigenous rapper Drezus, LGBTQ+ advocate Darren Star, language and recovery champion Novelli Fox, as well as media and sport mentors. Amanda Okeeweehow, who co-organized the event, said planning began back in January and was created by feedback from youth themselves. 'We wanted to give them those role models to show them, 'You can be that person,'' Amanda said. 'Maybe you're in a tough place now, but there's a way out. And culture can be that spark.' 'This generation is more open about trauma and mental health. I think it's because there are more resources and support available now.' Okeeweehow went on to say. Organizers hope that this event becomes an annual conference that will offer youth a place to heal, share and grow. 'If we don't focus on our youth,' Mitchell said, 'then the future is a big question mark. So, let's give them the blueprint. Let's help them build a better road than the one we had to walk,' So'Oyewaste went on to say. The White Raven Healing Centre is located in Fort Qu'Appelle's All Nations Healing Hospital and looks to continue to inspire, heal and empower Indigenous people within Treaty 4 Territory.

Healing Beyond the Physical: How Pranic Healing Addresses Invisible Emotional Wounds
Emotional traumas leave no visible marks, but their effects remain hurtful at many levels. Though most people seem to recover, the energy from these experiences tends to remain within, impacting our mental health, relationships and well-being. This is where Pranic Healing provides a gentle yet potent emotional release and healing. The Long-term Burden of Emotional Baggage Nearly everyone burdens themselves with emotional baggage, often unconsciously, for years and decades. Thoughts and feelings are not mere momentary mental phenomena; they are also energies. When an individual experiences a traumatic experience, emotional energies such as fear, guilt, shame, anger or sorrow get lodged in their aura and chakras. If one doesn't actively work on letting go, it can burden an individual. Eventually, it can cause repeated cycles or patterns of behavior or even physical disease. For example, a person who experienced a heart-wrenching breakup may still harbor feelings of being betrayed or grief in his or her subsequent relationship. Without clearing this emotional baggage, complete healing and serenity is not possible. Source: The Pranic Approach to Emotional Healing Pranic Healing, a system of energy healing, offers a structured, non-physical method of cleansing and energizing the energy body. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo It considers emotional suffering as energy that can be felt, cleared and replaced. By removing the negative energetic signatures of trauma, it restores focus, stability and emotional balance. Essential Techniques That Support Emotional Healing: 1. Pranic Psychotherapy Pranic Psychotherapy is one of the unique techniques of Pranic Healing which specializes in helping people release emotional and mental stress. It focuses on removing stagnant or blocked energy in chakras, especially the solar plexus chakra, where emotional pain naturally lingers. Negative feelings are gently cleansed away, and new life energy (prana) is introduced to help people feel lighter and more balanced. This technique can benefit anyone experiencing 'stuckness' from past trauma, repeating emotional patterns or fears related to a past experience. 2. Twin Hearts Meditation Twin Hearts Meditation is a guided 21-minute meditation that activates the chakras of the heart and crown. It gently releases the debris of emotional hurt and fills you with peace, love and joy. In those moments when life feels heavy, you are gently restoring inner quiet and emotional fortitude with this meditation. And when practiced consistently, it cultivates a natural ease of forgiveness and a reconnection with your happiness once again. 3. Energetic Forgiveness and Letting Go While Pranic Healing is mainly oriented towards energy cleansing, there is also the aspect of mental habits conducive to healing. Forgiveness, being practiced energetically as well as mentally, becomes extremely potent. Forgiveness, by releasing cords of anger or hurt from your aura, becomes less about "letting someone off the hook" and more about liberating yourself from energetic bondage. Why Does This Approach Matter? Most conventional mental health treatments involve talking, thinking about it or processing it mentally. They are useful, but they don't cover the energetic aspect of trauma. Pranic Healing bridges that aspect. It does not merely educate you on why you hurt, it eliminates that hurt from your body. Emotional wounds are inevitable as we go along life. However, bearing them for a lifetime is unnecessary. With methods such as Pranic Psychotherapy and Twin Hearts Meditation, individuals are now learning how to heal from the inside out. They are regaining emotional health, not only by altering thoughts, but altering energy. Essentially, healing beyond the physical involves healing what you can't see but strongly sense. And with Pranic Healing, that healing is not only attainable, it's deep and lasting. Authored by: BSriram Rajagopal - Director, World Pranic Healing India Pvt.

Noongar artist Denzel Coyne on how learning to carve wood helped him heal
Denzel Coyne shows his young daughter how to throw a kylie, or boomerang, he made from jarrah wood. A descendent of a Stolen Generation survivor, the Noongar man with connections to Menang and Goreng Country started learning to make traditional Indigenous artefacts for the first time as an adult. Once he had begun, there was no looking back. On Menang Country in Albany, Western Australia, Coyne spends his days carving, sanding and polishing everything from shields to spears. "It helps me escape my past traumas, it helps me heal." It's a sense of healing, through reclaiming culture, he wants to offer other descendants of Stolen Generation survivors, as well as people who have experienced similar struggles. For Coyne, those struggles began with deeply painful early years. "At a very young age, I lost my mother, tragically. Someone murdered her when I was seven years old," he said. "I struggled without having my mother there to nurture and show me love. "From there, my dad basically raised the four of us by himself; me and my siblings. "Dad was part of a Stolen Generation and unintendedly, a lot of the Stolen Generations traumatic events and life's challenges and stuff like that was sort of passed down in a lot of ways." His dad later went to prison, Coyne said, and he was moved to a house where he was abused. As an adult, he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, doing several stints in jail. But when he became a father, his outlook began to change. "I think I needed a daughter to change my direction in life, really help me look at life in a whole new light." He was still in the grips of addiction, when Denzel said he was given an ultimatum. "Go to rehab, or I wouldn't be able to take my daughter home," he said. "That day was one of the hardest days of my life. I knew what I had to do." It was during the rehab program that an Aboriginal instructor began teaching Coyne, and the rest of the men's group, how to carve artefacts. "He wanted us to do some tactile learning, something that we can take away from that program, and to help uplift us when we're in a sad time," Coyne said. "Maybe if we didn't have that, I might not have stuck around, I just feel it was so important." On the other side of rehab, Coyne has started his own business, Born Wirn, and is carving out commissions for traditional artefacts. "It means tree spirit," he said. "I bring out the beauty and the grain of the wood and the grain represents the years of the wood, his spirit." Coyne is continuing to refine his skills, borrowing artefacts to study, and calling friends to share what knowledge they can. He strongly believes he is being guided by his ancestors as he learns. Coyne has also encouraged his partner, Noongar woman Penelope Williams, to take up the women's side of the business. For the most part, she was teaching herself. "He couldn't show me because it was woman side of things, but I think he trusted that I would be able to do it, so I got out there and then I started making them," Williams said. "I was in juvenile detention and that's where I learnt woodwork and wood burning, that has really helped me starting this. "When I first made my first one, I was so proud, I couldn't believe that I did it. "And the connection that I feel to my culture while making them, it's hard to describe, but I know making this stuff has helped heal my spirit." The process has prompted the couple to teach their hard-earned skills, holding workshops and talks with school groups and even at a hospital. "I think we could help lots of people, you know, just heal," Williams said. "We're giving them knowledge and culture that was taken." For Coyne, the work keeps him concentrated and connected. "I feel connected, spiritually, mentally," he said. "The whole process, it just gives me so much."
