The Department of Healing and Community Wellness successfully completed its first On-the-Land Detox Program from February 14 to 21, 2025. This initiative was designed to support individuals seeking healing, reconnection, and renewal through traditional Tłı̨chǫ ways of life.
Over the course of the week, fifteen participants from various backgrounds took part in the program, stepping away from the distractions of daily life to focus on their personal healing and wellbeing. Guided by Elders, cultural leaders, and support staff, participants engaged in traditional practices, land-based activities, and ceremonies to cleanse their bodies, minds, and spirits.
The program provided a space for individuals to reconnect with the Creator, Elders, and Mother Earth, reinforcing the strength of community support in the healing process. Through this experience, participants had the opportunity to reclaim their lives, build resilience, and restore balance in a culturally grounded environment.
The Tłı̨chǫ Government remains committed to supporting land based wellness programs that honour traditional knowledge and provide meaningful pathways to healing. The success of this first On-the-Land Detox reflects the power of culture, land, and community in fostering personal and collective well-being.
