Martha Justice Ministry is hosting a free public education series, Healing the Divide: A Journey of Reconciliation.

Our sessions are designed to help us, as settlers, better understand the experiences of Indigenous peoples and the work required to build right relationships. We see this as an important step in preparing for honest and meaningful dialogue with Indigenous communities.

The four interactive workshops will take place on Sundays from 2–4 PM, starting March 9. Everyone is welcome, but registration is required - please email justice@themarthas.com.The sessions are designed to build on each other, so participants should register for the full series.

NOTES:

*Blanket Exercise on March 9th is led by Terena Francis.

**Morgan Toney is pleased that we are using title of his song for our workshops.
