Native Networks is proud to host special guest speakers and design exciting programs for our Native Women’s Wellness Events. Participate in one of our retreats, quiet your mind and move along the path toward a state of inner peace and tranquility.

The Native Women's Wellness Retreat is an annual event created for Native Community Workers and Women in Wellness. The first Native Women's Wellness Retreat launched in November 2009 and attracted many Native Women from all across Canada. Since that time, we have offered the event annually in Edmonton, and are now expanding to offer this opportunity to Native Women in communities across Canada.

The Native Women’s Wellness Retreat is a place where Native Women share their remarkable stories and life lesson philosophies with one another. Led by a dynamic Emcee, with quality professional speakers and engaging workshops, you will learn and grow personally and professionally, developing a new network of friends and colleagues.  You will have the opportunity to share your stories of trials and transformation during daily "Sharing Circles". During this event, you will experience a feeling of admiration and motivation when you look around the room and see passionate, engaged, women who are there for the same reason that you are - to refocus and rejuvenate their energy. We have created a Gathering Place for you to retreat and recharge yourself; a place where you can share, debrief, and retain the balance necessary to return to your homes, your places of work and your communities, stress-free.
Hear what Shannon Souray has to say about her experience at a Native Women’s Wellness Retreat:

"This will be a powerful gathering of Native Women walking a path of personal wellness and providing healthy support for people in need within their families, work settings and communities. As women, our intelligence, mixed with a respect for emotions, is what gives us courage and nurtures our power!"
