Sacred Medicines and Medicine Bag Teaching

Chantal Chagnon is a Cree/Métis multidisciplinary artist, educator, Knowledge Keeper and activist with roots in Muskeg Lake Cree Nation, Saskatchewan. Cultural wisdom, traditional ceremony and ancestral knowledge are woven throughout her teaching and artistic practice. Through storytelling, song, drumming, cultural teachings, traditional Indigenous craftsmanship, art and collaboration, Chantal creates meaningful opportunities for learning, connection and cultural sharing across Canada and around the world.

The Four Sacred Medicines, sage, cedar, sweetgrass and tobacco, each hold important cultural and spiritual significance. Each medicine offers unique ways to strengthen connection with the land, community and one another.

Through this shared learning experience, Chantal will introduce participants to the Four Sacred Medicines and their significance. Chantal will also support participants deepen their learning through a hands-on experience creating their own medicine bag.
