What It's About
In many Indigenous cultures, healing is not something done to someone — it is walked with them. In this heartfelt and grounded conversation, Shelley Shadow explores how the core principles of Recovery Coaching deeply reflect Indigenous worldviews and traditional ways of being.
Drawing from her lived experience as a Cree woman and her years of coaching, mentoring, and training within Indigenous organizations, Shelley will share how values like the sacredness of silence, non-interference (“no Indian should tell another Indian what to do”), and deep respect for individual autonomy are not only traditional teachings—they are also foundational coaching principles.
This webinar is for anyone seeking to approach healing work with Indigenous communities in a way that is relational, culturally resonant, and grounded in respect. Participants will be invited to reflect on their role not as “fixers,” but as companions— walking beside, not ahead.
