SUMMARY:Medicine Walk with Penelakut Elder\, Augie Sylvester
DESCRIPTION:Important Event Update: \nOver the weekend\, Augie Sylvester was diagnosed with a respiratory infection\, and will unfortunately be unable to lead the medicine walk on May 3. We wish him a full recovery and look forward to organizing a public walk with him in the near future! \nIn Augie’s place\, Richard Jim has stepped forward to co-lead the medicine walk alongside the GCA’s Sustainable Food Systems coordinator Cedana Bourne. Richard is Augie’s nephew and son of the late Karen Charlie\, who along with Augie planted the seeds for the Nuts’a’maat Forage Forest a decade ago\, and will share traditional plant knowledge and stories carried within his family. Members of Augie’s family will be drumming and sharing stories and his vision for the revitalization of traditional knowledge of healing plants on Penelakut Island and beyond. \nWe hope you will still plan on joining us for an afternoon in this unique forest garden! If you no longer wish to attend\, please let us know so we can offer your spot to another community member. We are committed to continuing to create opportunities for sharing knowledge\, medicine\, and food in the Nuts’a’maat Forage Forest as part of our new Restoring the Balance program.\n\n\n\n \nAs part of our new Restoring the Balance project\, we are honoured to invite you to a special Medicine Walk led by Penelakut Elder and cultural knowledge-holder Augie Sylvester. This guided experience offers a rare chance to explore the Nuts’a’maat Forage Forest—the Indigenous plant garden at the Millard Learning Centre—through the lens of traditional plant medicine and long-held Indigenous cultural teachings. \nWhether you’re just beginning to explore plant medicine or continuing a long-standing interest\, this event offers meaningful insight into the rich relationship between people and plants in Coast Salish territory. \nSpace is limited to 32 participants\, and due to very high interest\, we encourage you to reserve your spot early. Tickets are by donation\, and proceeds will directly support the continued sharing of traditional medicinal knowledge within the Penelakut Island community. \n\nReserve your ticket here!\n\nIf you’re unable to join this time\, not to worry—we plan to offer more Medicine Walks in the near future as part of our commitment to honouring and learning from Indigenous knowledge systems. You can sign up for the waitlist on the ticketing platform to be notified the next time the workshop is offered. \nThanks to the Gencon Foundation and the Ecclesiastical Community Impact Grant for making this special event possible! \n
