KAIROS Blanket Exercise (KBE)
National Advisory Circle & Instructor Trainer and Provincial Facilitator
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise - KBE (In Person) is based on using Indigenous methodologies and the goal is to build understanding about our shared history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada by walking through pre-contact, treaty-making, colonization and resistance. Everyone is actively involved as they step onto blankets that represent the land, and into the role of First Nations, Inuit and later Métis peoples. By engaging on an emotional and intellectual level, the Blanket Exercise effectively educates and increases empathy. Meeting space larger enough for min 15 to 60 participants and lasts 3 hours approx. A shorter version can be requested.
A virtual KAIROS Blanket Exercise (vKBE) workshop is also available. This online session honours the experiential and participatory elements of the in-person KBE, while making adjustments for a safe experience in an online environment. Hosted by experienced KBE facilitators, the online session can accommodate groups between 20 and 45 people, and lasts about 2 hours.

Indigenous peoples have the right to determine and develop priorities and strategies for exercising their right to development. In particular, Indigenous peoples have the right to be actively involved in developing and determining health, housing and other economic and social programs affecting them and, as far as possible, to administer such programs through their own institutions.
My goal is to empower Indigenous communities to set objectives and measure their own progress and performance toward meeting those goals. Insuring allies are formed or supported at any time of community development and are identified by the community organization or partner. I have years of supporting numerous community development projects and am able to support your objectives.
