February 13, 2015 Issue 15:03 CHIPPEWA TRIBE-UNE Quantum Energy Integration Wellness Program 25 AFN Employment Supports Presents a 3 Day Wellness Program in “Quantum Energy Integration” Ka’nikonhriyohtshera: Fostering Emergence of the Good Mind With Diane Hill - Integrative Programs Consultant Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, Ontario – www.dianehill.net
Wednesday Feb 17th - Friday 19th 2015 Daily Program Hours: 10am to 5pm
Facilitator Bio: Diane Hill has been working as an Inte- grative Programs Consultant for the past 28 years. Her national and international consulting work is distin- guished in the fields of social work, education and In- digenous cultural studies. She has been promoting well- ness and facilitating practices related to quantum healing in an integrated and holistic educational model in New Zealand, South Africa, South America & the USA.
This presentation is a WEL-Systems®-based experience that bridges the Newtonian/ allopathic model of wellness and the Indigenous/multi-dimensional approach to wholeness. It draws upon research done in the quantum sciences and in the area of cellular biology in partic- ular. The new information provides a unique perspective for explaining how the human body processes and integrates our many life experiences without having to think about it. Within this broad context, the presenter explains how humans are capable of leaving their past be- hind and participants will have 3 days to practice the process for doing so. This material focuses on the need for cultivating and strengthening the spiritual capacity of ALL peo- ples as the key to helping them create a different reality. Participants should come prepared to engage in daily meditation exercises. Dress is very casual. Workshop delivery takes place in an easy to understand, conversational format. Participants should bring a craft project from home to work on over the 3 days or come prepared to work with whatever craft materials will be supplied. Bring your own snacks, water bottle & tea/coffee cup. For the meditation exercises, it is suggested that you bring a blanket, pillow and/or yoga mat. Lunch will be supplied and coffee, tea & water will be available.
Everyone is welcome. Registration is required as seats are limited. For Program Details, Location & To Register, Contact: Marina Plain| 519-336-8410

Hello and Good Day My Relatives who’s hearts sound from where the Water Flows Swiftly and the People Gather. I trust that these words find you all in good health and spirits.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the community in the capacity of Interim Tribe-Une Editor since September 2014. I have always believed that an informed indi- vidual is empowered with knowledge to choose which path in life to follow for self. Family, community, nation and perhaps beyond the realm in which we live today.
I’d like to say Meegwech to all the staff members of Aamjiwnaang for doing such an awesome job at developing and implementing a variety of events, functions, work- shops and training sessions for Aamjiwnaang community members to learn and grow. The grassroots groups such as the Aamjiwnaang Culture and Heritage Club and the Travelling Seniors offer additional recreational activities that benefit those who desire a different form of enrichment.
We live in a time where technology and multi-media allows us to enrich our minds and reach out to places that our parents and grandparents may have only dreamt of. So, I encourage you all to venture out into the world by whatever means you choose wheth- er it be to take in one of the many community events or to surf the world wide web or just walk and enjoy the beauty of natures surroundings. Keep informed and never stop or give up your quest for personal knowledge and/or enrichment.
I trust that you have been well informed during my tenure. I’ll be seeing you around the community and remember an informed individual is and empowered individual. So, keep doin what you doin and life your best life that you can.
Yours in Friendship IshkodeAnaquodoQuay (aka: Lynn Rosales)
