Workshop participation is exclusively reserved for L’nu individuals. All prospective participants undergo a review process conducted by L’nu community members to ensure eligibility and appropriate fit. This L’nu-only approach honours Indigenous self-determination and creates a culturally safe space where L’nu participants can engage authentically with content, facilitators, and one another throughout the workshop experience.

Please note this is a potluck for both days and a peanut and nut free environment due to severe allergies.
