AWAKENING INDIGENOUS IMAGINATION A group of Georgian students, faculty and community members took part in a mini-workshop to awaken their imagination while sharing Indigenous art, dance, music and traditional teachings. The Anishnabe word 'Gshkoziwin' means, "Awaken the imagination: Feel wonder and awe." As part of the Gshkoziwin Apprenticeship Program, the workshop began with a warm-up exercise to activate the mind, body and spirit. The purpose of the workshop was to introduce staff to the process of the program and encourage them to become a program facilitator. Once trained, facilitators can organize workshops in communities, healing lodges, friendship centres, non- profit groups and on professional development days. "The goal is to foster intercultural understanding and empathy, while creating more respectful learning environments," says Michele O'Brien, co-ordinator of Indigenous programs at Georgian and a Gshkoziwin facilitator. "The magic of the apprenticeship program is that I learned how to reclaim my own imagination – something I lost along the way and now I get to give back to the community and inspire that same sense of wonder and creativity in others." 31 GEORGIANVIEW 2018 INDIGENOUS
