Nokomis Giizis Gathering - Datgaagmin Dbik Giizis
2024-08-21 12:00 - 15:00 (America/Toronto) | 110 Matchedash Street N, Orillia (Mamaway Wiidokdaadwin Match Hub), 110 Matchedash Street N, Orillia, Ontario, L3V 4T8, Canada
Join us for this monthly Nokomis engagement happening Wednesday, August 21st, 2024, from 12-3pm, that will offer both healing and connection as we lean into our culture, traditions, and Nokomis Giizis Teachings.
This month we lean into the energy of the Thimbleberry Moon – Datgaagmin Dbik Giizis.
(Thimbleberry Moon) August is when the last of the berries are harvested. The Datgaagmin (Thimbleberry) produces fruits every three years and reminds us that good things take time in Life. And to honor that in all of us.
This Nokomis engagement location will be at Matchedash Hub where we will explore a recipe with Blueberries!
We will gather to share some teachings and to embrace yourself in the experience of what the Berry moon has to offer.
Feel free to share with those who this may interest.
Thank you for registering with the link below so we can prepare adequately.
