KAIROS Blanket Exercise In-Person
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is an immersive, hands-on experience that walks participants through 400 years of colonization on Turtle Island. Blankets are placed on the ground to represent Turtle Island (North America) and participants try to keep walking on the blankets for as long a possible as the facilitator describes our history. Participants will be asked to either read from a scroll and/or hold a coloured card that represents a role they are to play in the Blanket Exercise. We will begin and end this exercise in a Goodway with Traditional Indigenous Hand Drumming. We will have a reflection circle after the Blanket Exercise to help move through any thoughts or feelings that come up during the exercise. Please bring your whole self (mind, body, heart and spirit) into this exercise.
