Moccasin Trails | Kamloops/Kelowna 

To begin the workshop, Greg Hopf, Owner / Operator of the Okanagan’s Moccasin Trails, will guide viewers through a spiritual smudging ceremony. Viewers will have the opportunity to learn about the colonization of Indigenous wellness practices, including the use of sage, and how we collectively can educate ourselves and pay respect to the origins of these customs.
