Endacho Healing Society to build lodge with focus on culture, land-based healing for grief and trauma

New federal funding for a healing lodge in N.W.T. will help establish a facility focused on cultural immersion, land-based wellness, and processing grief and trauma, according to a couple of trauma counsellors in the territory.

“Trauma impacts the body, the heart, the mind and spirit,” said Roy Erasmus, who co-owns Dene Wellness Warriors with his partner Jean Erasmus.

“It’s a wound that adds to personal and intergenerational suffering. We want the participants to learn how trauma has impacted them and we offer the tools to deal with reactions to trauma and live in the present,” said Roy.
