Adult Blanket Exercise

Our blanket exercise takes the participants through 500 years of Indigenous history through an experience of empathic learning.

Youth Blanket Exercise

Tailored specifically for a younger audience, our  youth blanket exercise offers an equally impactful experience for children and those who are like minded. 

The Box & Circle

This is an additional exercise that may be added to the Real-Time Blanket Exercise to make your experience last all day. In the Box and Circle, we discuss and present the world view held by indigenous cultures and how it differs from the western world view. It is an in-depth teaching that demonstrates the contrasting and disparate methods of teaching, governance, and family structure, held by these two world views.

Elder Services

Both Carolyn and Viola are able to perform elder services. From saying a prayer, performing a smudge, or any other need you have for an elder, they are available to assist. 

Many people ask elders to open their events, or be available to offer insight during important meetings. 
Carolyn & Viola open the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra's Lament concert.

"Our leaders need to show the way, but no matter how many deals and agreements they make, it is in our daily conversations and interactions that our success as a nation in forging a better place, will ultimately be measured. It is what we say to and about each other in public and in private that we need to look at changing."
-Honourable Justice and Senator Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada
