We would like to extend a thank you to everyone that attended our Mental Health Week Expo here at Picabeen Community Centre! I also give special thanks to Aunty Kathryn who led a Smoking Ceremony in order to cleanse our minds and space of negative thoughts and feelings. The event was warmly received as community members eagerly took in the scents of eucalyptus and respectfully listened to Aunty Kathryn's experiences as a First Nations Elder.

The Smoking Ceremony - Cleansing and Connection:
A smoking ceremony is an ancient First Nations practice used to cleanse and purify spaces, people and energy. It is performed using smoke from native plants (traditionally eucalyptus leaves). The ceremony welcomes people into a space or onto Country. It signals respect and creates an intentional beginning.
