The consultants in Holistic Innu Healing inc.
Presented by: Omer St-Onge
Workshop description:
The program included sessions sharing in small groups, therapeutic role playing and dramatizations. Participants are guided throughout the experiment to admit, accept and let go of painful memories. This is achieved by the awareness of all the positives aspects of their lives and everything arising from themselves that is beautiful and marvellous.
We do this by:
Recognizing the person in his wholeness, meaning taking into accounts all spiritual, mental, emotional and physical aspects. It is important to remember that our program is an introduction to a continual process of healing, which depends largely on the development of quality of care, sharing and mutual support.
Cardinal elements:
- Sweetness and unconditional love
- Education
- Awareness of own gifts
- Aboriginal culture
1. Soft & unconditional love:
For several generations, Aboriginal people had their personal power and freedom of choice suffocated. many were those who suffered abuse of all kinds starting from early childhood, going from being kidnapped from their parents, to suffer verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuses.
As a result, many grew up reproducing the same institutionalized attitude, meaning the feelings of alienation, the incapacity to adjust to such an extent that it is difficult to take decisions and practically impossible to follow ac clear and healthy line of conduct.
It produces thereof people who flee and deny their responsibilities, that repeat the unhealthy behaviours they have suffered and therefore maintain this vicious circle.
Our program guide people in recognizing their strength, their endurance and their creativity.
Starting the interventions by the awareness that theses survival skills used were positive in their essences. In showing respect, gentleness and unconditional love we strengthen the participants in their ability to open new paths, express themselves and feed the holy child that lies in each of us.
2. Education:
We have several tools to present the issues of substance consumption. We discuss the range of products offered in the movement of the Twelve steps.
3. Gift awareness:
We have a series of activities designed to provide participants with a better understanding of the choices and avenues available for them. We reintroduce them to their gifts and talents that lie dormant within, suggesting avenues and possible ways to develop and express them.
4. Aboriginal culture:
We provide opportunities for spiritual growth based on aboriginal heritage.
If the need arises, we can refer participants to a spiritual guide for ceremonies, traditional medicine, etc.
We introduce the participants to our culture and our values, particularly the respect for everyone from elders to children (in our traditions there is no rupture of generations) and the importance to seek and follow the insight from the creator.
