📿 Milestones Reflection

Everyone has moments worth honoring and celebrating from the past - the things that make us who we are and inspire who we want to be. Through this hands-on activity inspired by Indigenous Communities and Practices, you'll acknowledge those milestones and consider how they can inspire you as you move through life.

 🦄 Workshops Facilitated by Young                         People Like You

Lived Experience (LEx Leaders) will facilitate workshop options focused on improving your relationship to yourself and others or finding meaningful purpose in the world - it's hard figuring out how to be healthy and well out there! It's better when we grow together.
